Cyn Kain Photography

There is something about photographing high school sweethearts. I think it may be because it amazes us all when such young, innocent love can grow, mature and even change with couple. Danielle and Matthew have grown up together, gone through college and are now starting their forever together. These two exchanged vows at the beautiful Crest Center and Pavilion in Asheville....their ceremony overlooked a breathtaking view of the NC mountains. The fabulous Kymm of Who's the Fairest did it again - Danielle was simply radiant. Seriously. Go and see some of my favorites from Danielle's bridal session HERE. It was extremely cold as the sun started to set...such a sweet photo of Danielle warming her hands in between photos. Now this must be love! How awesome is this cake? LOVE IT. Congratulations Danielle + Matthew! Thank you for having me there to capture your special moments!

When I think of Steven and Allie, I immediately think of laughter. These two laugh ALL.THE.TIME. and I love it. You may have already met them when I blogged their engagement session. Steven and Allie are absolutely perfect for each other and I'll leave it  at that - if you missed my thoughts of them during their engagement session before, click here. Their wedding took place in the mountains of NC in Boone. It was small, intimate, full love and lots of DIY (do-it-yourself) details. See the flower arrangement below? Allie's super talented mom did that with an assortment of picked wild flowers and silk flowers. Gorgeous, right? Allie made one seriously STUNNING bride.  These next couple of photos are super special. Not only are they Allie's adorable grandparents - but her grandmother helped build that church when she was a child. So special that Steven and Allie were married there. Probably the most interesting (and by interesting I mean AWESOME) cake toppers I have seen. Steven believes that everyone, in some way, resembles an animal. So as you can see here - Allie is the deer and Steven is the sloth. One of Steven's brothers made these out of clay and then personally painted them - and not to forget their gorgeous (and delicious) cake was made my a family friend.  These two may also look a bit familiar - I was so lucky to have met Whitney and Matt at this wedding because I had the honor to photograph their maternity session this past fall.  Whitney at Matt welcomed baby Rhett into the world on Dec 20th, 2011. Much love to their growing family! CONGRATULATIONS Steven + Allie! Here is to a fantastic 2012!!
