Summer Elopement in the Mountains
LOCATION
Asheville, NC
COUPLE
Korbi & Clayton
Korbi and Clayton live in Alabama but planned to elope in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina in the fall of 2020. And then COVID-19/corona virus happened.
As our world was turned upside down, uncertainty became the norm. We couldn't tell if the virus would dictate daily life for a few weeks, month or, now, years. Throughout 2020, I've helped all of my couples sort through their options in order to make the best decision for themselves. For Korbi and Clayton, they decided to bump up their wedding date to July. They didn't want their fall wedding to be postponed, they didn't know what work + travel would look like then and switching to a summer date made the most sense. We gathered at Black Balsam Knob on a beautiful summer evening for a stunning elopement. We dodged a few rain clouds but made it until the beautiful pink sunset!

Sweet words from the bride:
"Professional, relaxed, and fun! Chelsea did the most beautiful photos for our elopement! My husband and I agree that we chose the perfect photographer for us because she was very accommodating and made us feel comfortable. She let us do our own thing while also providing the perfect amount of guidance for the amazing photos. I will cherish them forever, and I can’t wait to get the physical copies!"
