Hi! My name is Nathan Rivers Chesky and I am a wedding storyteller. For over a decade I have captured weddings as a photographer, director, and cinematic videographer. I have traveled the world as a photographer and film maker documenting the genuine beauty of this world in portraits, moments, and real interactions. My team and I have found our place telling the unique story of every couple through photography and video with our specific balance of direction and creating the space for real moments for you to be who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

We wanted our wedding to feel like a big dance party and Molly delivered that beyond what we could have asked for. She is so easy to work with and really listened to our vision. Her process is collaborative and we felt included the entire time. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the music! I had multiple people tell me they tried to leave the dance floor to take a break and just couldn't because the next great song would start. She was also a great MC and kept everything flowing really well too. I can't thank Molly enough for bringing our party to life and being so wonderful to work with. I highly recommend booking Molly for your wedding!

When my wedding day came around, she took notes and made all the changes from the trial perfectly. I've never had airbrushed makeup before, but after working with Tina, I will always come back to her should the need ever come up again. I can't recommend her enough. I felt absolutely flawless.

Wilder Weddings Collective is a dedicated team of elopement and wedding photographers passionate about capturing wild love and real emotion. Based in Western North Carolina, but willing to travel anywhere, we’re leading a revolution in wedding photography, bringing the focus back on couples, their commitment, and the whole experience of the day.

From start to finish we can not say enough about how great our experience working with Carolyn and Jake was (formerly CarolynMariePhotography). Getting married/eloping in a pandemic was inherently stressful and Carolyn was so much more than just a photographer for us, she truly guided us through every step of our planning process. When the universe still let our best laid plans (and back up plans) take a turn she was there to make sure we were still having the best day and rewrote my wedding day timeline for me about 3 times on the spot. The photos we received are STUNNING, but having them help us through our wedding day was honestly priceless - I can’t imagine getting married without them we honestly had so much fun. You’ll have the best time with them and still feel like you’re alone together at the same time when it matters. The organization and promptness is on point, the recommendations/referrals were amazingly helpful, the photos are absolutely beautiful and these are GOOD PEOPLE. You will not regret hiring them for your big day!!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Arden, NC

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

From our first phone call, to planning a timeline and walking through the details, to the wedding day, and delivering your gallery of photos, I am here for every step of the way!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had a superb experience from start to finish with Carly @ Asheville Elevated Photography. We planned a small semi-quick wedding so we had only a few months between engagement and wedding itself and other photographers I contacted either didn't answer or were already booked, or their prices were such where it was out of our range for just a few hours of photos. We were so grateful to find Carly! Upon first meeting at our complementary engagement shoot (which is an awesome perk by the way), she was kind, chill, organized, and helped us feel far less awkward about posing for photos. We got some awesome shots at Craggy Pinnacle, some of which turned out so picturesque that my mom asked if the mountain cloud background was photoshopped! Carly was very proactive in the weeks leading up to the wedding itself. She thought of important logistics that I might have otherwise missed and gathered details so that the day itself would go smoothly and capture all the photos we wanted. Our photos turned out beautifully with a perfect mesh of more 'formal' posed family photos and more candid fun-loving ones, which is exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend Asheville Elevated Photography and will treasure the photos of our special day for years to come!

She was always open to hearing my ideas and brainstorming together. 3. She woke up incredibly early to take our sunrise engagement photos to get the best shots. 4. She took my vision and made it happen. 5. She coached my husband and I how to model—posing isn't our strong suit. 6. I recommend doing engagement photos with her as well. It's a great way to build rapport and get little coaching in, while having a cohesive set of photos. 7. She's super professional, warm, friendly, and easy going. 8. She took a wide variety of shots. I really wanted those organic candids, and she made sure to take a good selection. 9. My wedding guests loved her! They kept talking about how nice and professional she was. 10. The photos themselves were perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better images. All of our friends constantly talk about how amazing our photos are. I could keep going! We loved having her as our photographer.

Prior to the wedding Jessica made sure every detail was covered and a timeline was created for a seamless day. Day of Jessica arrived on time and was ready to shoot! She was flexible, staying an extra hour to capture more of our cocktail hour and braved the cold as we had requested going to Dry Falls waterfall after the ceremony to get some shots. Our two large dogs were a part of the ceremony and Jessica was wonderful working with them prior and during the ceremony to get special shots with them!

Weaverville, NC
  • Venue

  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

The Fields, on 21 rolling acres, awaits you at the end of Reems Creek Valley. With breathtaking views of the Blueridge Mountains. We are minutes from, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and downtown Asheville, NC.​ The Barn is a 3,200 square foot converted stable, a unique rustic barn with the elegance of 21 chandeliers, 2000 square foot Patio draped with Tuscan lights. The Barn is the perfect setting for a relaxing and comfortable celebration, whether it’s a rustic elegant wedding for 50 or 500 guest. The Lodge is a 5,000 square foot Conference Center. The Great room has 20 foot vaulted ceilings. The Boardroom will seat 14 people at a conference table. There are 2 additional dressing rooms upstairs. The largest of the dressing rooms is known as the Brides Room, providing a relaxing and calming feel, with large vaulted ceilings, and views of the mountains.

The Fields of Blackberry Cove was such a beautiful venue and very affordable compared to other wedding venues, especially when considering the location. You are surrounded by mountains and have multiple locations on site where you could hold the ceremony (multiple oak trees and arches you can use free of charge). This venue is great for those looking to hold the ceremony and reception in the same place. We got married outside and then held dinner, provided by the venue with additional fees, and the after party in the barn. The dinner provided by the venue was delicious and made the whole process a lot less stressful because they took care of everything. We were able to serve alcohol and beer/wine/Truly that we purchased ourselves, and Doug provided ice, cups, and a bartender that we paid 60 dollars an hour. With about 100 guests, the barn made for a perfect dance floor. I didn't hire a wedding planner, so I planned the wedding by myself. Doug, the venue owner, was easy to work with and very experienced in planning weddings. He never really clarifies specific things the venue does or does not provide, so be sure to ask! He was funny and an enjoyable presence, but he got a little sassy on the wedding day when I couldn't decide if I should move the ceremony into the barn due to inclement weather. Regardless though, it worked out and everything went to plan! 100% recommend to anyone who doesn't want to spend 15000 on a wedding.

Gateaux Cakes & Pastries 

5.0

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Serves Arden, NC

Gâteaux Owner and Pastry Chef, Lindsay Cromartie, laughs when asked how many years she's been "doing this." Look at the circa 1986 picture to the left for her answer! Professionally, Lindsay has been "doing this" since 2005, when she realized, while still at UNC Chapel Hill, she wasn't cut out for a desk job. From Chapel Hill, to The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, where Lindsay prepared herself with a Baking and Pastry Degree. Fortunately, after a year in the "Big City," Lindsay and her family realized "there's no place like home" and returned to Hendersonville, where, after a brief hiatus, she has established Gâteaux.

Gateaux Cakes & Pastries was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the moment we reached out, the owner Lindsay was quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and truly amazing. As a wizard of a baker, Lindsay crafted the most beautiful and delicious groom's cake, wedding cake, cookies, pies, tarts, and macarons for our special day. Everything was a huge hit with our guests - the quality and value of Gateaux's work was outstanding. Lindsay was also so thoughtful in her suggestions to ensure our desserts were exactly what we wanted. I will absolutely be a lifelong patron of this amazing small business. I highly recommend Gateaux Cakes & Pastries to any couple planning their wedding!

Freckled Petal LLC

  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves Arden, NC

Our team provides eco-conscious floral services and candle decor for events. We recognize that not one single style of floral is beautiful to everyone, and we truly enjoy creating various styles, especially the one that fits the client! We buy local as much as possible and are always on the hunt for sustainably grown beauties. We chase the best of the season, often delighting in the underused and less-seen pod, fruiting branch, and oddity. During our region's non-growing season, we source from what is available to us from around the world, always keeping the mindset of the least ecological footprint option first.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a photographer local to the Asheville area who's had the pleasure of capturing Shannon's work many times I can say without a doubt that she is the best florist in the area!! Shannon is amazing. Not only is she an incredibly talented florist and stylist, she's also a kind, caring, and wonderful person. She sources florals locally so she's the perfect fit for adventurous elopements and weddings out in the mountains, no need to worry about invasive species! Just stop looking and hire her!

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!

Creating the deepest joy for couples, families and guests on our 33 acre historical family farm. Only 12 minutes from downtown Asheville. Welcome up to 175 guests to our captivating mountain views. Half day, full day & weekend packages available with overnight stays in the modern 3 BR/ 3 bath farmhouse + camping options. The perfect setting for your "one of a kind" event. Event spaces are adaptable to a wide variety of styles: elegant to simple and everything in between!

While Emerald Ridge is an extraordinary venue, it wasn’t the venue that won us over. The owners, Janice & Paul, were the reason we decided we wanted to have our wedding there. Janice was our first point of contact and couldn’t have been more communicative, authentic, personable, and accommodating. They allowed us to take our engagement photos there after touring the property. Paul drove us around on his golf cart and happily answered all of our questions and put us at ease. We hired Malorie as our “month of” wedding coordinator and we’re extremely pleased that we did! She’s clearly an expert when it comes to the property and the wedding planning/execution process. On the day of our wedding she went above and beyond to make us feel as special and comfortable as possible! Mason and Taylor were also extremely accommodating and hard working. The entire staff was incredibly genuine and kind to us and our guests. We highly recommend booking the “No Stress Wedding Weekend” package and adding Thursday night to get the full experience of feeling right at home. Emerald Ridge has a vast inventory of decorations which allowed us to travel lightly from out of town. Emerald Ridge has a focus on keeping their property naturally beautiful and respecting the environment, which we very much appreciated. We truly could not have asked for a better wedding experience! We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts.

Remember what it felt like being there. Memory is meaning. How you choose to preserve your memories now will affect how you remember them in the future. I specialize in making films you can feel - films your children will be able to feel. Remember the moment you knew you would fight for your relationship. It was love. It was raw. It was yours. Your wedding will likely be a production, a gathering of friends and family from all over, but at the heart of your wedding is a love story. It’s one of the greatest honors to be trusted to capture and create something meaningful - something yours.

You only have to view a few of their films to realize the difference hiring a filmaker versus a videographer makes. Yes, they can flawlessly record the ceremony, panning from different angles, but they really shine in curating a highlight film that captures the entire day. You only plan on doing this once. Capture the event in a way that will allow you to relive it every time you watch.
