This Fall Wedding at Old Edwards Inn will forever go down as one of my favorite days as a Wedding Photographer. Not only was the couple super sweet & totally in love, but the vendor team that was a part of this day was my ACTUAL dream squad.

If you’ve never been to Highlands, North Carolina — please put this on your TO SEE list! The town is a beautiful community tucked into the heart of the Western North Carolina Mountains. There is a ton of shopping opportunities from local makers/sellers, quaint restaurants with beautiful views of the scenic area, various hiking and outdoor recreation options and let’s be honest: BEAUTIFUL photo ops, much like the one we took advantage of at the Sunset Rock Overlook!

Ambra & Chris have big love for this small mountain town and knew they wanted their wedding day to be a beautiful getaway that their friends and family could enjoy while also celebrating their love. Old Edwards Inn is a historically popular venue (despite the remote location) for good reason. Take a look at the all the beauty the venue offers and just how much fun Ambra and Chris were able to enjoy with everyone they love!
