Being an Asheville Wedding Photographer is a dream. The mountains that surround our area are magical. Something Blue Mountain Venue is one of the best mountain elopement venues in Asheville and Western North Carolina. It has it all! A beautiful location to get ready, one of the best mountain views for a Western North Carolina Elopement, and the best owners! Now, let me tell you about Erika! It is the best mountain elopement story!

Erika contacted me less than a week before her elopement. Erika and her man were coming to Spruce Pine, NC to celebrate Christmas with her family. They have been engaged for a couple of years. Erika decided on her fiance’s birthday to surprise him by asking him if he was good with eloping while they were in NC. His response was, “I would love to, but that would take some planning”. Her response, “Wonder if I have already figured it out this week….”. He was blown away and loved the surprise!!

Here is the sweetest review from Erika, the bride! “Cristen was extraordinary! My husband and I eloped and planned it all in about 3 days. I called Cristen and told her the plan – when she was on board I knew she was going to be perfect. And then she ended up being beyond what we expected AND she had our photos back the next night. The photos are incredible, she captured our elopement perfectly. Thank you Cristen!”
