Ali + JB's Blue Ridge Mountain Wedding at Grandfather Golf and Country Club | Boone NC Photographer

Where could it be?!” Ali wondered. “When were you last wearing it?!” one of the bridesmaids questioned as we attempted to solve this conundrum.

We were all perplexed as we retraced her steps to the ceremony site. Somewhere along the way Ali’s veil blew off and it was nowhere to be found.

Since we were so clueless, I ended up looking back through the wedding pictures to see when I photographed her wearing it last. I confirmed that she had it on while making her way to the altar but it disappeared before she walked down the aisle.

The mystery of the lost veil didn't last long, though, because once we got to the reception location it was waiting for her. Surprisingly, that was the only mishap that was experienced the entire day!

Everything was in sync and on-time for the most part which almost never happens on a wedding day, but Ali and JB had lots of folks taking care of them to ensure there was nothing to worry about.

I knew that family is extremely important to this couple and that they were expecting a big bunch, 250+ guests, in fact. It was incredible to witness the love this tight-knit crowd felt for the couple.

They chose to have a destination wedding here in the blue ridge mountains because they both grew up spending a lot of time here.

Ali & JB both love the mountains and have been visiting the Grandfather Golf and Country Club since they were kids.

I found this scenic little nook a short distance from the house they rented. It was such a pretty spot for Ali's bridal portraits prior to the ceremony. She looked like a doll in her lacey wedding dress.

Their heartfelt ceremony took place just a few days before summer was officially over. It might have poured the night before but the skies were blue and the sun was shining for their wedding day!

I think someone was excited to be walking down the aisle!

I was getting emotional because it was so sweet to watch him tear up as he give his little girl away.

Grandfather Mountain made for a stunning backdrop for their wedding day! Don't you think?

The arbor was decorated and delivered by Shady Grove Gardens & Nursery.
