An Asheville Wedding with Tara and Joseph

I met Tara and Joseph when I did their engagement session in March of 2011. So I have been eagerly awaiting this union. Tara has one of those catching personalities that you instantly connect with. Every time I would talk to her on the phone I felt as though I was talking to one of my good friends.

One of the things I loved most about their day was the “first look” they did at Botanical Gardens at UNCA. Joseph’s look was priceless. Tara and Joseph share a unique connection and I have enjoyed getting to know them over the past year and half.

Here are some photos of their first look and some of the details of their wedding.
