Vogue mountain sunset portrait of a bride and groom at the parker mill.

Spring time in WNC is arguably one of the best times to visit! The blue ridge mountains start to take color with lush green. Floral blooms return, and the temps are as close to perfect as you can get! It also happens to be the one of the best times to say your I dos at one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the state, The Parker Mill! That’s just what Brianna and Evan decided to do this spring! Surrounded by their closest friends & family, these two celebrated in style! Seriously, Evans suit and Brianna’s dress were giving us all of the heart eye emojis lol. Needless to say the aesthetics were on point from head to toe for this special day! For us though, the true story of this day was that undeniable chemistry between Brianna and Evan!

After connecting on a Twitch chat in 2019, these two quickly bonded over a love of video games! After getting to know each other better over the next few months, they both realized there was something growing between them. Given their geographic locations (Evan, northwestern Canada, and Brianna Ohio) grad school, and then of course there was the lovely year that was 2020, with Covid preventing international travel for most. As anyone in a relationship can imagine, these were some definite challenges but Brianna and Evan made the most of it with video calls, virtual dinner dates and of course, online games! After 17 months of waiting patiently, they were finally able to connect in person in August of 2021 and the rest was history! Since then these two have been side by side growing together and traveling the world!

It was hard to pick a favorite part of their day because we had a blast with these two from beginning to end. But looking back, golden hour/sunset portraits with these two at the top of the Parker Mill was hard to beat! They were greeted with a gorgeous sky and clear evening which we were grateful for considering the forecasts had been calling for rain all week. Their love was on full display and these two absolutely crushed it, but don’t take our word for it. Scroll onward and enjoy the epic day that was Brianna and Evan’s Wedding!

Meeting through games and enduring the long wait — that’s real commitment. Also, big props for dodging the rain and scoring that golden light! Love how gaming was such a meaningful part of their relationship — reminds me of the dedication it takes to beat a level in Geometry Dash Lite — timing, patience, and a lot of heart!
