Mercedes + Nicole - Wedding at the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Asheville, North Carolina

Every Asheville Wedding seems to be an adventure for me, and this one was no exception! Two amazing ladies, Nicole + Mercedes decided to elope at Daniel Ridge Waterfalls in Asheville, North Carolina. Nature is super important to them, so this seemed like the perfect spot for them.
