Cassy + Thomas | Twikinham Mountain Wedding / by Lacey R Butler

Something happens when you arrive at Twickenham. It’s like when you take the mask off after an hour in a store- you know, like you can finally really draw a nice deep breath and relax.

And after postponing their perfect wedding for over a year for the pandemic, it’s kind of a good analogy.

What I know about about this gorgeous couple could barely fill a ring box. They met in a poetry class. They live in Europe. They are easygoing. Plants, nature and conservation are important to them. The bride’s dress is a family heirloom. A video from family in Europe was played during the reception.

Cassy and Thomas chose this venue particularly for the beautiful view. At the end of the day, just before I headed home to Asheville, we took about 30 minutes to hit the spot for sunset pictures. They gave me all the time I needed with creative freedom, were easy going and fun to work with, and I was able to not only make a few cinematic images for them, but also to allow them to just enjoy a few seconds “alone” to watch the sunset. I don’t think it can be more romantic than to pause on your wedding day with your love and reflect. I’m hoping it’s one of their favorite memories together, just watching the day fold into night.

Their Vendors:

You can check out Thomas and Cassy’s venue here- Twickenham House and Hall is located near Boone, NC. Leigh Harrow was the lead coordinator at the event and I’ve just never had a coordinator so lovely to work with. It’s truly an art to know how to lead people pleasantly and graciously.

The delicate flora’s are the creative art of Shady Grove Gardens.

The cake I had was worth every calorie- highly recommend Stick Boy.

And finally, Earthworks did all the other food, which is carefully cultivated and locally sourced. Heartfelt thanks to the chef and to the earth for providing!
