Morgan + Brent’s Intimate Mountaintop Wedding in Mars Hill, NC
Morgan and Brent’s wedding was a heartfelt celebration set against the breathtaking backdrop of Big Bald Mountain in Mars Hill, NC. With just ten of their closest loved ones, they embraced the beauty of nature and the intimacy of a small gathering.
Morning Preparations at Wolf Laurel
The day began at their private rental, Higher Ground in Wolf Laurel. Morgan prepared in the master bedroom, wearing her mother’s earrings and a veil crafted from her mother’s wedding dress—a beautiful nod to family heritage. Brent got ready in a separate room, taking a quiet moment to open a heartfelt gift from Morgan.
A Ceremony Above the Clouds
Surrounded by nature and their loved ones, Morgan and Brent exchanged vows in a ceremony that was both intimate and awe-inspiring on the back deck of their vacation rental. Then the couple chose Big Bald Mountain, a grassy summit along the Appalachian Trail, for their couple’s portraits. With 360-degree views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it was the perfect chance for the newlyweds to get away briefly and soak up the beauty of Western North Carolina.
Celebrations Back at the Cabin
After the portraits, the group returned to the rental property for a cozy reception. The Mountain Garden Chef, Graham Overal, prepared a delicious dinner, and toasts were shared between courses, adding to the warmth of the evening. As the sun set, Morgan and Brent stepped outside for golden hour portraits, capturing the joy and serenity of their special day.
