Andrew + Elaina's Simple + Elegant Backyard Wedding / Asheville, NC

February 23, 2021 in wedding, elopement

The truth is, sometimes, plans fall apart. Pandemics happen. Andrew and Elaina planned a large joyous wedding in NYC, for June 2020. That wedding did not happen. But the wedding that did, in Elaina’s own mother’s backyard, was heartfelt and beautiful. Because what can you do, but pick up the pieces, and drive across 4 state lines, so your mother can safely witness you marry the man you love?

FLOWERS // Carolina Flowers

CAKES // Owl Bakery

Note // with the pandemic in full swing, I didn’t actually set foot in their home. All of these getting ready images were photographed through a window. A second story window! Luckily they had a tall and sturdy ladder.
