Another successful wedding ceremony... and the rain held off!

MAST FARM INN ELOPEMENT - BANNER ELK, NC

We worked with Revival Photography and HIgh Country Ministers at this elopement in Banner Elk.  I played solo violin, and the ceremony was in this field with only bride, groom, photography, officiant, and me!

The bride & groom had been recording video diaries to each other during their travels from Miami to NC.  The groom recorded his thoughts on his iPhone right before his bride appeared.  So sweet.

The bride & groom danced in the field as I continued to play at the end.  Such a sweet couple.

THE FARM - WEDDING IN CANDLER, NC

Madilyn's cousin Hannah was married on a Friday afternoon in Candler, NC at The Farm - A Gathering Place.  This was our first time at this venue, and it was just beautiful!  We were afraid it would rain, and the ceremony was almost moved inside, but it turned out to be perfect weather.

We worked with Melissa Cockman Photography, who took some gorgeous photos.




We took a keyboard with us and played some violin duets and some violin/keyboard duos. 

---

We played Canon in D for the bridesmaids and the Bridal Chorus for Hannah to walk down the aisle.  Madilyn & her mom Casie also sang "The Prayer" and "How Beautiful" during the ceremony. 

Mom & dad came to the wedding to help me keep June.  We had a great time staying for the reception too!
