When I tell you that Asheville, North Carolina has my heart, it’s an understatement. Being a photographer in this area has brought me so much joy. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting amazing people, trying incredible food, hiking the gorgeous peaks on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and more. I want to take you through some of favorite moments as an Asheville, North Carolina photographer. Who knows, maybe you’ll want to pick up your own camera and explore the area.

Never Ending Flower Farm

This has been my favorite shoot to date! The Never Ending Flower Farm Supper Club, hosted by Chef Dean Boskovich. In a quiet holler in Bernardsville, NC lies the flower farm of everyone’s dreams. They have been hosting lovely dinners with Blue Ridge views each weekend during the summer. The evening starts out with flower picking and hors d’oeuvres tastings, meanwhile the meals were prepped and served within 5 courses, finishing with dessert. This is something you’ll want to experience if you are local or not!

My Favorite Moments at DayTrip

If you’re visiting downtown Asheville, you don’t want to skip out on DayTrip. This bar prevailed through Helene and they also prevail by mixing up some lovely cocktails. Even the mocktails are a good experience to your tastebuds. DayTrip prides itself on being the grooviest mid century bar you’ll probably ever visit. Each part of the lounge is a portal to your great Aunt Sally’s living room from 1971. Velvet paintings, shag carpets, gothic lamp shades, and wood panel after wood panel. There is a reason that DayTrip has been one of my favorite places to photograph and I’d be so lucky to take more photos here.

Every menu item is made with love, every decoration is placed with intention, and every lovely memory is made at Chai Pani.
