Luscious and inspirational Biltmore weddings have been featured at Style Me Pretty this week care of Woodward + Rick Photographers in Asheville NC. While a Biltmore wedding is not a budget wedding, there is no denying it, Biltmore weddings are inspirational!

Given my experience with a local student photographer I hired to shoot my NC wedding* I highly recommend that if you are going to splurge on anything, splurge on photography. You can dress up simple food, you can buy a pre-owned wedding dress, you can skip the favors. Every hindsight bride I have talked to who tried to skimp on photos by having family or friends take care of the photography has ended up disappointed. Need proof? Compare the pictures of a company like Woodward + Rick Photographers to amateur wedding pictures on Flickr.

If you are the exception to the rule, or know someone who is, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE contact me. Tell me what was the secret to successful amateur wedding photos. I would love to help other brides avoid the heartache I felt going through my NC wedding photos.

* NOTE: The bridal portraits that Blue Bird Imaging shot of our CA wedding came out beautifully. If only I had hired professionals for our east coast wedding…
