A Bohemian Mountainside Elopement at Craggy Pinnacle in Asheville, North Carolina

Christian Lemons (28 and a photographer) and Jeremy Salig (32 and a chef) met “serendipitously,” as she describes it, through their shared affinity for “nature, the arts, good food, happy and positive living, and love.” Echoing their engagement at a mountainside campsite, the two tied the knot during a private ceremony at the stunning summit of Craggy Pinnacle, overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina. “We are incredibly inspired by nature and wanted our union of love to reflect that,” Christian says of their simple elopement. Christian was an ethereal beauty in a vintage-inspired gown with lace detailing that billowed in the mountain breeze as they stood hand in hand on the rock’s rugged edifice. She carried a brightly colored bohemian bouquet with hints of eucalyptus, and the couple exchanged wedding bands inherited from Jeremy's grandparents. After the nuptials, Jeremy took Christian to his restaurant to celebrate and dine on local fare. —Juliette Cheatham
