Old Edwards Inn wedding photographer

Weddings in the middle of Highlands, NC.

Old Edwards Inn sits at the corner of Main and Fourth Streets in Highlands, NC, more than 4,000 feet up. The oldest part of the inn dates to about 1880. The Edwards family ran it as a hotel from 1914 to 1970, and it's on the National Register of Historic Places.

Today it's a full resort, with a spa, gardens and guest cottages spread around town.

What it's like to photograph here

The Rooftop Terrace. On top of the historic main inn, for ceremonies and dinners.

The Springhouse. A big indoor room with a long bar. A good plan B when the mountain weather turns.

The gardens and lawns. White hydrangeas, stone paths and shade trees. Even on a bright day there's somewhere soft to make portraits.

Kaylea and Dave

Kaylea and Dave did a first look in the garden before the ceremony, with white umbrellas in hand. She laughed the whole way through it. Later the wedding party took over the lawn, and the two of them left in a golf cart.
