It was also because I wanted to celebrate the new Wayfaring Wanderer website that I launched in December. If you haven't had a chance to check out my new home online, I'd love for you to visit the site! Here's a link: www.wayfaringwanderer.com

If you have any friends or family that you know who will be getting married soon, please be sure to share my site with them because 2015 dates are booking quickly!

Wedding Photography Giveaway FINALISTS Hosted by Boone NC Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

One of the reasons I decided to host a wedding + engagement photography giveaway was because I KNOW what it's like to plan a wedding on an extremely tight budget, but it's more than that, too.

When I got married last summer it reaffirmed to me how important wedding photography really is because now I have wedding photos that will help me relive how awesome our wedding day was over and over again. These images are priceless to me!

Our photographer, Kimberlee Edwards Photography, was incredible and helped our experience in front of the camera be as painless as possible. I bet you'd be shocked to know that I get shifty when having my pictures taken, too, so it was eye-opening to be on the other side of things for a change.

Wedding Photography Giveaway FINALISTS Hosted by Boone NC Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

Your wedding day is an epic adventure from beginning to end and your wedding photography is a big part of that. You might not realize this but your wedding photographer is with you (practically) ALL DAY LONG, which is why you want to find someone that you click with. I think your wedding photography should be fun and feel natural so you can just be yourself and enjoy your special day.

My goal is not only to capture real moments as they naturally unfold, but it's also to ensure that you're having a great experience that won't distract from what really matters which is celebrating the commitment you're making to one another and the journey that you are about to embark upon together while spending time with those you love!

Banner Elk Winery Wedding Boone NC Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

I had chats with 6 of the contestants who entered the Wayfaring Wanderer Wedding + Engagement Photography giveaway a few days ago, and since then I have been mulling over my decision about which 3 finalists to choose for an opportunity to win the grand prize. I said that I wanted it to be tough but I don't think I realized how hard it would really be!

In an awesome turn of events, one of the couples that entered decided they didn't want to wait for the outcome of the wedding photography contest, so they went ahead and BOOKED me for their wedding day, which disqualified some peeps that were getting married on the same date.

However, I was still left with some super tough decisions to make! There were so many different factors that went into my thought process about which couples to choose but it ultimately boiled down to who I felt would be the most excited to have Wayfaring Wanderer (ME!) capture their wedding day.

Boone NC Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

When you find that special someone that you want to spend forever with being apart from one another can be grueling. You chat on the phone, send messages, facetime, or Skype but what you really want to do is hug their neck and plant a wet one on those hot lips, am I right?! If Cody and I spend more than a few days apart I get antsy, so I can't imagine if we lived in different states like Leslie and Wes.

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

Currently, Wes is stationed in Virginia and Leslie resides in Raleigh, NC where she teaches Spanish. These two are planning a wedding this summer on Sugar Mountain so their long-distance love won't stay that way for too much longer once they are married.

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

While they are used to having distance between them since they dated on and off for four years after they first met up here in Boone, NC. After that, they both went their separate ways. Wes left to pursue a career in the Navy and Leslie traveled around the world to expand her horizons.

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

They lost touch over the years, but Wes found Leslie again and he decided that it was time to make sure she sticks around, so he made it official and asked her to be his wife last November!

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

They came up to the Boone area to visit their wedding venue and thought that it would be a good time to squeeze in their engagement photos so they can use them for save-the-dates.

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

Leslie had her heart set on a snowy photo session, but the forecast didn't cooperate, so I came up with some other creative engagement photo ideas.

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

One of the engagement photo location ideas I threw out that Leslie liked from the get-go was Grandfather Mountain. Apparently, they tried to visit the tourist attraction a little while ago when they were in town but it was too cold so the bridge was closed. It's not as much fun if you can't go up to the Mile High Swinging Bridge to see the views!

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

Normally, the admission charge to get into Grandfather Mountain is $20 per person for adults. For that reason, this usually wouldn't be a viable location to do an engagement session due to the high cost but every year in December they offer Dollar Days to local residents, so I was able to get us in for $3 per person. A few years ago Dollar Days used to be $1 per person but I suppose they've had to go up.

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

Once we were past the gate, the three of us slowly made our way up the windy road in Wes' bright orange jeep. We stopped at various overlooks along the way so that we could get some variations in our backdrops, and so that we could avoid the colder weather up top for as long as we could. From my experience, I know that it's always a lot colder and windier up there because you're at such a high elevation.

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

Little did we know, though, how fiercely the wind would be blowing once we reached the Mile High Swinging Bridge. It was absolutely insane! The gusts of wind were blasting so hard from all sides that it kept knocking me off balance. I had to wedge my foot in between two rocks while I was shooting because I, literally, thought I was going to blow away. Seriously.

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

It was hard to think straight with the freezing cold and wind pounding, although there was a tiny little pocket I found between boulders and trees where we could stand and not feel the fury. I wanted to keep them in that spot forever!

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

Despite the bitter temperatures Leslie and Wes took it all in stride. They laughed and enjoyed the adventure as crazy as it was. I love working with laid-back couples that like to have fun and can be silly together no matter what gets thrown their way! I really wish that I wasn't already booked for Leslie and Wes' wedding day because I had a blast hanging out with these two.

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

Once we were done up around the Mile High Swinging Bridge, we practically ran back to the gift shop because the wind picked up and began blowing even harder! After getting inside where it was warm and cozy, we saw that the wind was registering at 39 mph. I could have sworn that it was at least 100 mph! HA!

Leslie + Wes' Grandfather Mountain Engagement Photo Adventure by Boone Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

CONGRATULATIONS to Leslie + Wes on your engagement and upcoming marriage! I wish you two epic adventures in life and love, and I hope that your relationship and connection will grow stronger as you continue this journey together! Thank you so much for choosing me to capture your adventurous engagement photos at Grandfather Mountain. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek while I finish up your full gallery.

BIG LIST of Boone Wedding Vendors | NC Photographer Wayfaring Wanderer

As a wedding photographer you wouldn't think that I do much to assist my couples in helping them plan other parts of their wedding day, but I like to make myself as useful as possible, so I do everything I can to offer guidance along the way.

The majority of the couples that I work with aren't Boone, NC locals, so it’s a little bit more challenging for them to get the information they need to help plan their wedding.

While there are some great wedding planning resources out there that can point you in the right direction, like the ACES website (Association of Consultant & Event Services) and the High Country Wedding Guide, I still prefer to recommend the wedding vendors that I've worked with personally because I want to promote the folks that I can recommend firsthand.



Magical things happen when you get an awesome group of wedding vendors together which is why this list exists!

Over the last few years that I've been an NC-based wedding photographer, I've had the opportunity to work with some of the most talented folks in the wedding industry up here in the High Country. While this is not an extensive list of all that there is to offer up here in Boone (and beyond), these wedding vendors are the ones that I've had the pleasure of working with and highly recommend!

If there's a particular Boone-based wedding vendor that you would like to work with, don’t wait to contact them, because availability is already extremely limited at this point, so booking in advance is definitely suggested.

I've already had to disappoint a number of brides because I no longer have their wedding date available—it makes me sad. Don't wait, get in touch asap!

I’m sure you've seen the slew of engagements happening this year, so either you or someone you know is newly engaged or getting married in 2015/2016. If you know of any friends or family planning a destination wedding in the Boone area that may find this vendor guide useful, please share this link with them! Thank you!
