Capturing this Pretty Place Chapel intimate wedding ceremony was a dream! These two and their families welcomed me with open arms to share in this joyous day. In addition to meticulous planning and preparation that truly paid off, the couple was blessed with a clear view of the mountains from the chapel, and a glowing sunset. This destination wedding at Fred W. Symmes Chapel in Cleveland, SC was one of my favorites this past fall! I had the opportunity to meet the bride, and mother of the bride in person prior to the wedding day. With destination weddings, this isn’t always the care, but a welcomed bonus! Seeing everything fall into place made it all the more meaningful. Brevard locals Anarie and Petal and Fern did a fabulous job with hair and makeup and stunning florals, respectively. Congratulations, Courtney and Greg! Thank you for trusting me to photograph your wedding day!

PRETTY PLACE CHAPEL INTIMATE CEREMONY

January 9, 2020 Jenni Chandler

Pretty Place Chapel draws couples from all over with it’s beauty! This sweet couple traveled from California to hold a self uniting wedding ceremony in front of a few of their closest friends and family. The weather was clear and allowed for a breathtaking view of the mountains behind the cross in the chapel.

Some of my favorite moments from their wedding day include -

- They chose to have an intimate first look in the woods prior to the ceremony to help relax their nerves.

- A mix of Chinese and English were spoken throughout the ceremony. They each wrote and shared their own heartfelt vows.

- An incredible amount of thoughtful planning and detail was put into their wedding, which allowed for ample time for bride and groom portraits. I don’t think they ever stopped smiling during this happy time!

Rachel and Anders wedding day was the definition of an intimate wedding. They had their immediate family with them as they shared their vows at Fred W. Symmes - Pretty Place Chapel at YMCA Camp Greenville. Pretty Place is known for the amazing view looking out over the blue ridge mountains. Petal and Fern adorned the cross at Pretty Place with gorgeous roses and Rachel held and equally beautiful bouquet. It was the perfect backdrop for Rachel and Anders to say “I do”. There’s something about live music in the chapel that adds even more to the experience. We all enjoyed listening to Sharon play. After a meaningful wedding ceremony and sand pouring unity, the newlyweds ventured out on the rocks to take in the view together. The family gathered for a celebration reception at Key Falls Inn in Pisgah Forest . Laughs, hugs, and tears were abound and then everyone enjoyed a delicious meal which included the bride’s favorite - macaroni and cheese!

Living so close to these beautiful wedding venues is an absolute dream! Since I moved to the mountains, I've connected with the sweetest photographer, Kaelee of K aelee Denise Photography. I was delighted to have the opportunity to second shoot this intimate ceremony at Pretty Place Chapel followed by a rustic celebration at Oskar Blues Reeb Ranch. As soon as I walked into Pretty Place Chapel overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, I was overcome by a feeling of peace. I can see why it is such a popular destination wedding venue. Reeb Ranch is right down the road, and made for the perfect reception celebration. Elena of Elena Weddings & Events gave the barn at Oskar Blues a rustic elegant look with greenery hanging from the ceiling and neutral florals adorning the tables. The weather was perfect for this June wedding day. Congratulations to the bride + groom!
