more pics from asheville
got a chance to process a few more of the pics from asheville. here are a handful from the wedding. the church was the basilica of st lawrence. it’s an architecturally significant building by Rafael Guastavino that has no wood or steel substructure….only solid rock. it was a real neat building and was quite striking.
i did mo and jason’s engagement shoot, but wanted to be sure i was able to enjoy the wedding, so i was just a spectator for the ceremony. i did have my camera with me, though, and used it to grab a handful of shots after the ceremony and at the reception.
the front doors….
mo and jason grab a kiss (it’s ok, it was after the ceremony)…..
some of the roses were still popping even though it was halloween….
lil and me at the reception….
the rest of the pics from the wedding are all here in my picasa album.
here are some pictures from the next day…..this building had a really neat copper roof on it.
L is for lillis
then off to the biltmore after a great breakfast there at “green sage”
this was an amazingly beautiful vine running along the wall across from the biltmore.
you’re not supposed to take pictures inside the building, but i might have. given that we paid $190 for 2 tix, i feel justified. this was george vanderbilt’s billiards room. i believe this is one of the rooms that had leather on the wall. some of the other ones had french silk velvet walls and matching comforters. SO-phisticated
here’s a view of the biltmore from the gardens. it’s a pretty big house. i’m still not sure about the closet space, though.
in an outhouse or a greenhouse, lillis is always beautiful
loved these bushy trees….
this was a little farm building on the property that we passed by on the way out.
i took a couple more pics from the road on the way out of the grounds. i loved the contrast of the still brilliant green grass, with the brown corn, trees changed to red and the deep blue sky…..
here’re the rest of the biltmore pictures. it really is a beautiful place. i think we’ll go back 7 or 8 times to get the most out of our 1 year passes. we’ll definitely hit that mcdonalds as well…maybe listen to the piano again!
