Theirs is a story of faith. A story of the kind of quiet, graceful patience that is only possible with hope. A story of Love, and of waiting. It had been seven years since their first date; seven years since they first fell in love. And as the fog rolled in over the mountains of Asheville and the sun came creeping out behind thick, grey clouds, they shared their First Kiss as husband and wife… their first kiss ever.

They had waited seven years for it; over time and distance, with a beautiful, graceful patience. And their family and friends who surrounded them cried out with joy (and more than a few tears), because everyone else was waiting right along with them; contagiously joyful. So, just for good measure, he wrapped her up and kissed her again, because the very best things in life are absolutely worth waiting for.

Michelle and Luke – Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for inviting us to be a part of your beautiful Wedding celebration. It was one of the most touching, joy-filled weekends we have ever had the pleasure of documenting, and we cannot wait to see where this beautiful Love takes you. With Abundant Gratitude – G+A
