A Magical Garden Party Wedding at Asheville's Bunn House
The Perfect Vision Comes to Life
From our very first conversation, I knew Chloe’s vision of an intimate garden party wedding would be something extraordinary. Working alongside the talented Amy from Shay Events Company, we watched her dream unfold at the charming Bunn House, nestled just outside downtown Asheville. Chloe and Thomas were blessed with picture-perfect weather – golden sunshine dressed with just enough clouds to create that magical, soft light we videographers dream about.
A Garden Paradise Under Clear Skies
Chloe and Thomas transformed the venue into an enchanted garden paradise, with a clear-top tent adorned with coral, pink, and baby blue florals cascading along the posts. Every detail spoke to their thoughtful planning and personal style:
- Custom monogrammed cups for guests of all ages
- A whimsical Annie’s ice cream station complete with all the toppings
- Exquisite invitations featuring a hand-drawn sketch of the Bunn House
Getting Ready Moments
The day began with quiet moments capturing invitation details before the excitement of getting ready began. Up on the Bunn House’s spectacular rooftop, the bridesmaids kicked off the celebrations in style, popping champagne in their matching PJs and filling the morning air with laughter and joy.
A Family First Look
What followed was one of the day’s most precious moments – Chloe and Thomas’s first look, made even more special by their three beautiful children watching their parents’ love story unfold. These are the authentic moments that make my heart sing as a videographer.
The Ceremony
The ceremony took place in front of the historic Bunn House, where carefully curated flowers and natural meadows created a stunning backdrop. My heart melted watching Chloe’s son, Will, proudly walk his mom down the aisle – a moment that perfectly captured this family’s beautiful bond.
Cocktail Hour & Reception Details
After family portraits, Chloe surprised everyone by changing into her second stunning gown of the day, each dress telling its own unique story. As guests enjoyed cocktail hour among the venue’s charming vines and boxwood paths, you could feel the joy in the air.
Celebrations Under the Stars
The newlyweds made an unforgettable entrance, greeting their cheering guests from the rooftop – a moment that perfectly captured their fun-loving spirits. Throughout the evening, the children added an extra layer of magic, their laughter echoing from the photo booth to the dance floor.
Capturing Asheville’s Magic
Being just outside downtown Asheville gave us an incredible opportunity to capture breathtaking drone shots. As day transformed into night, we captured both the venue and the city skyline, creating images that truly showcase the magic of this special place.
