Editorial Wedding Photographer Asheville NC
“Hi Shelley,
We love, love, love the photos!!! We’ve already shared some with family and friends and they keep complimenting your work. So many people after the evening also said how impressed they were with your ability to be everywhere for so many shots and how warm and easy you were to be around.
The photos are such a beautiful mix of close, intimate emotions and more of the landscape photography we love so much in your work.
Huge thank you for sharing your talent with us on this special day and giving us so many beautiful memories we can share and cherish forever.
Thank you SO much! :)

A Beautiful Wedding in Asheville, NC
Emily and Will are off in Amsterdam enjoying their honeymoon as I write this. Yet, as they eat fresh baked pastries and explore the canals, I’m still reminiscing on their gorgeous wedding the other weekend.
Claxton Farm – an Asheville Wedding Venue
These two got married at Claxton Farm, a bucolic barn wedding venue in Asheville, NC. Claxton Farm is a place that we frequent a lot at Hartman Outdoor Photography, and we feel truly blessed to do so. Surrounded by Blue Ridge Mountains, this place abounds with stunning scenery. The property itself includes a peaceful pond, large party barn, wide open field. And of course- the adorable farm animals! The most notable member of these is their llama Chocolate Chip!
Rainy Forecasts turned to Clear Skies
The newlyweds could not have asked for more perfect weather for their wedding in Asheville. Heading into the weekend, the forecast called for rain, but everything cleared up by Saturday. (This actually happens a lot so I always try to prepare my couples not to freak out too much or look at the forecasts!) All we saw were blue skies, some gentle clouds, and an epic sunset.
A Rainbow of Late Summer Wedding Colors
In making the most of the beautiful Asheville scenery, Emily and Will opted to be married outside on the lawn. Their ceremony was full of heartfelt emotion and vibrant color. Not only were the floral creations by Carolina Flowers a sight for the eyes, but each of Emily’s bridesmaids wore a rainbow of colors. I just love this look so much!
Epic Sunset Wedding Photography Amongst the Asheville Scenery
Emily and Will read their vows to each other privately during their first look (I LOVE this btw!) and after officializing things during their ceremony enjoyed the cocktail hour with their guests. Just before the reception started, I stole them away for some epic newlywed photos across the property. The sunset was sooooo pretty that day! Their venue coordinator, Jackie, drove us all around in the golf cart. She even showed us how to get a kiss from Chocolate Chip!
Just as the sun set behind the mountains, the newlyweds shared their first dance on the patio in front of the barn. Everyone then made their way into the tent for a candlelight dinner before dancing the night away. It’s easy to do when there’s an epic live band!
Thank you so much to Emily and Will for asking me to be your Asheville wedding photographer! It was a joy witnessing the love between you, and all your friends and family!
