Micro-wedding at Stone Ashe Vineyards / by Lacey R Butler

I ADORED this couple and this venue. Stone Ashe Vineyards is located in the rolling hills beyond Fletcher, NC and Hendersonville. One of those spots just out of the city but so unusual to get to you wonder if you’re actually going the right way. The grounds were perfect, the staff so helpful.. and best of all the newlyweds brought joie de vivre. My favorite vivre of all.

As per usual I’m showing you a cross hair of the collection- details, happy smiles, moody looks. The wine was overflowing, the bees a-buzzin at work, and the couple generous enough to share a drink with me. Thank you for everything, V and J!

The goodboys on the property, by the way, were coersed to do this. They are totally obviously uncomfortable with me posing them looking like they want cake. Just… for the record. I still like this idea though.

This single lady made the amazing cake. Let me see if I can find her info… nope. Please reach out if you know! After a year I have no idea anymore. It was so amazing. I think out of Maryland.

Hi my name is Lacey and I’m a wedding photographer and I took this photo. And also black and white is the best.

I only had a few sips before someone <strike>stole</strike> absconded with my wine which was fair because I “borrowed” theirs for a photo op and then the staff cleaned it up. My bad.

Wine tastings for your group, amazing charcuterie, attentive staff, the view. Did I mention the view? We were supposed to leave for another location for portraits but the couple was having too much fun to leave and this was at least as beautiful anyway.

I couldn’t resist one more image as I drove back home. Always so bittersweet to go, but so happy to have been there a few moments of your life together. <3 Lacey
