Hannah &
Bobby

Tucked into Asheville's historic Montford neighborhood, the 1920s stone manor at Homewood gave Hannah and Bobby a setting that feels like a castle.

Photographing a wedding at Homewood is its own kind of awesome. The cherrywood walls and wrought iron chandeliers of the Great Room hold candlelight in a way other venues can't, and the gardens open up the moment you step outside. Old stone one direction, twenty-foot ceilings the next, golden hour filtering through the trees out back. There is no shortage of places to point a camera here.

The day started upstairs, Hannah and her bridesmaids in matching blue. Bobby with his boys, and then outside on the grounds for the first look. They said their vows indoors at the great stone fireplace, flowers running the length of the mantel, then carried the night into dinner, toasts, a napkin-waving send-in, and a dance floor that filled early and stayed full, thanks to Robby. We took our time with portraits on the stone steps and along the hedges, and the couple left under sparklers out front.

The mix of old-world stone and Hannah and Bobby's easy warmth made the whole day feel unhurried and real. If you're looking for a Homewood wedding photographer, or searching for a historic stone castle wedding venue in Asheville and Western North Carolina, I hope these highlights from their day give you somewhere to start.
