Highlands, North Carolina- Old Edwards Inn


The Hormuths celebrated their wedding at Old Edwards Inn in the heart of Highlands, North Carolina, surrounded by the natural beauty that makes this mountain town so special.

I loved how their wedding design embraced the setting, bringing together rich greens, warm browns, and organic textures that felt right at home against the lush landscape. Every detail was thoughtfully considered without taking away from the beauty already surrounding us.

With Pinnacle Events bringing it all together, the day felt warm, inviting, and effortlessly elegant. It was such a pleasure getting to know the Hormuths and capturing their celebration in one of my favorite places to photograph weddings.
