Kenneth and Amber Celebrate Their Wedding!


They knew that it was meant to be! Kenneth and Amber met a little over a year ago while playing in a local pool tournament. To some, it may not have been the most romantic of places, but Kenneth and Amber quickly discovered a true and lasting bond between them. Their beautiful outdoor wedding was coordinated by the staff at the beautiful Rennaisance Hotel in downtown Asheville, North Carolina. They had their pictures made at the historical Thomas Wolfe Memorial located next to the Rennaisance. Spend some time with this couple and you will quickly discover they love life....and each other!
