LAKE LURE INN
LAKE LURE, NC

Few venues in North Carolina offer the blend of history, Hollywood nostalgia, and breathtaking scenery quite like the 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa. For Olivia and Michael, this historic landmark nestled in the heart of Lake Lure, NC, served as the perfect setting for a wedding day defined by classic elegance and joyful connection.

The day had an air of timeless romance, fitting for a venue known for its "Roaring Twenties" heritage. Olivia looked stunning in a chic, off-the-shoulder gown that perfectly complemented the Inn’s vintage aesthetic, while Michael and his groomsmen kept it sharp and traditional in classic black tuxedos.

One of the standout moments of the day was utilizing the Lake Lure surroundings for portraits. We captured the couple against the dramatic backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the iconic Chimney Rock, with the early autumn foliage providing a soft, golden texture to the landscape. The couple also took a ride on the venue’s historic trolley, a unique touch that added a sense of playful nostalgia to their gallery.

The ceremony took place outdoors with the mountains standing tall in the distance, followed by a celebration that moved from the poolside terrace to the Inn’s grand dining room. The reception space, with its signature yellow walls, white columns, and antique chandeliers, provided a warm and stately atmosphere for dinner and dancing.

From the emotional first looks with family to the final toasts of the night, this celebration was a testament to why Lake Lure weddings remain so popular. It offers the beauty of a mountain escape with the refined comfort of a historic resort.

If you are planning a wedding at Lake Lure Inn & Spa or looking for a Lake Lure wedding photographer who can capture the blend of grand landscapes and intimate moments, I would love to tell your story.
