Can you imagine a setting more enchanting than this? The Lonesome Valley, set in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, in autumn: where textures and colors collide in the most breathtaking of ways. If you’re planning a fall wedding, we encourage you to look to the views around you: local orchards, copper-kissed trees, and candlelight will create a beautiful ambiance for you.
More from the photographer, Eric Kelley:
“The deep textures, delicious colors and tender vignettes of Lonesome Valley were the inspiration for this editorial. Set in the heart of the Appalachian mountains, the day unfolds in an enchanted field, wandering delicately through an apple orchard and enjoying a quiet and tender moment on the edge of a lake.
The wedding details mimic this natural beauty by incorporating locally foraged florals, simply entwined copper wire wrapped around the napkins, and muted hues of an indian summer dispersed through out the imagery.
The effortless design by Julie Bunkley from Invision events, gentle styling of Augusta Cole and dreamy florals by Laura McCarty inspire a beautiful backdrop for our couple. Our bride and groom enjoy a bit of whimsy, wrapped in organic elegance. They are playful, thoughtful and endear their guests with the blessing of nature’s beauty.”
