It’s not often I get to photograph rehearsal dinners, especially at beautiful places like this Deerpark Biltmore Wedding venue. It always makes me so happy when I do, though!

Rehearsal dinners are so exciting. All the anticipation of the next day, but also a relaxed feel because there’s nothing else you can do but get married! It’s so fun meeting all the family and wedding party the night before. It makes the wedding day so much easier. Everyone’s already comfortable with me, me with them, and it’s almost like reconnecting with old (yet very new) friends! Plus you get to hear all the fun stories that don’t usually make the wedding toasts!

Charlie’s mom did a beautiful job designing this dinner with Darling Dogwood Floral & Event Design. They’re a brand new floral studio in the Asheville, NC wedding area, and I have no doubt they’re going to do big things!! They have years of experience designing florals for the wedding industry, but have recently branched out on their own to create this fabulous new brand. It was such an honor to photograph all their beautiful work!

I’m so thankful they & Charlie’s mom let me be part of this wedding weekend. I can’t wait to share their actual wedding day!! Sabrina was breathtaking in her gown! For now, enjoy their rehearsal dinner at the lovely Deerpark Biltmore Wedding venue and all the beautiful florals!

Venue: Deerpark Restaurant at Biltmore Estate
