Blue Bend Photography

After a beautiful drive through the mountains from Asheville I arrived to find even more fall color up at The Preserve in Townsend, TN.  Surrounded by mountains and a palette of autumn hues, Lauren and Brandon had the perfect backdrop for their big day!  The intimate and emotional ceremony was held in a sweet little pavilion with gorgeous 180 degree views warmly lit in the background.  After the newlyweds were congratulated by teary-eyed family and friends, we ventured out to take more photos in the fading daylight.  As the mountains changed from warm golden tones to cool blues and purples, we finished the formals just as the moon came out.  With a welcomed break in a pre-heated car (it’s gets downright chilly in the mountains when the sun goes down!) we headed to the reception for cake, dancing, and very appropriate take-home presents for the guests – miniature Louisville slugger baseball bats tied to a big chunk of delicious chocolate!  For anyone following the World Series you might recognize the groom.  :) -Kelly
