Crest Center and Pavilion Wedding Photography, Asheville NC | Tori + Nick

This wedding has my heart! These two lovelies shared their gorgeous wedding day with friends and family in the Blue Ridge Mountains at Crest Center and Pavilion, in Asheville, NC. It was full of laughter, much love, and so much joy!

Even though Tori and Nick’s original wedding date was forced to be postponed due to Hurricane Helene that devastated areas of Asheville last fall, one would never know when looking at their wedding photos or being present on the day of the wedding. This beautiful Crest Center and Pavilion wedding here in the mountains was absolutely worth waiting for! Their ceremony overlooking the mountains was incredibly beautiful, the wedding colors and bridesmaids’ dresses transitioned perfectly to summer, all the details were amazing and perfectly executed, and their family and friends were an absolute blast!

One of my favorite things about Tori and Nick’s wedding day was how their favorite people supported them on their big day. For Tori, the girls all got ready together at Blind Tiger Boutique Hotel, wearing matching PJs, having cocktails and lunch, and spending quality time together. I LOVED that Tori had the vision of having a first look with all of her special people. First, all the bridesmaids shared a first look with Tori, then her father, her mother, and Nick’s mother all had separate first looks with her. It was so much fun to capture each of their reactions as they walked in to see Tori for the first time in her wedding dress! For Nick, he got ready with and hung out with his groomsmen at Crest Center and Pavilion, and when I walked in to capture their finishing touches of getting ready, they were all hooting and hollering, lifting each other up about how good they looked in their tuxedos! They were having the best time! I LOVED seeing this all around on Tori and Nick’s wedding day!

To level up this wedding day, I LOVE Crest Center and Pavilion, a gorgeous wedding venue that is a quick 10 minute drive from downtown Asheville. It sits high on Crest Mountain, and has gorgeous long range westerly views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. (This means epic sunset photos!) It also boasts two reception options- a grand ballroom, or a glass walled pavilion. Both reception options have floor to ceiling windows. This way, when you do go inside, you don’t miss any of the mountain feel! Crest Center and Pavilion also has plenty of space for a seated dinner, a large dance floor, and DJ booth or live band! I also love the outdoor veranda, which is perfect for cocktail hour and late night quiet moments. It truly has it all!

Congratulations again, Tori + Nick! Your wedding was amazing!
