Asheville Wedding Photographer and Videographer

Nathan Rivers Chesky is an Asheville wedding photographer and videographer documenting weddings across Western North Carolina and destination locations worldwide.

His work blends documentary storytelling with a refined, editorial approach, creating images that feel both natural and intentional. Rather than directing every moment, he focuses on building an environment where couples can be present, allowing real interactions to unfold while still offering guidance when needed.

Based in Asheville, he regularly documents weddings at venues such as Biltmore Estate, The Omni Grove Park Inn, and private estates throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains—locations known for their character, history, and sense of place.

From intimate ceremonies to multi-day wedding weekends and multicultural celebrations, this balance allows each event to be documented with depth, continuity, and intention.

This approach results in photographs and films that feel immersive, grounded, and timeless. Many couples choose to have both photography and videography captured together, ensuring a cohesive visual story across both mediums.

travelling worldwide for love

Nathan is a preferred vendor at several Asheville wedding venues and regularly photographs weddings at locations such as Twickenham House, High Hampton, The Restoration Hotel, and private estates throughout Western North Carolina.

In addition to local celebrations, he documents destination weddings across the United States and internationally, bringing the same consistent and intentional approach, to both large-scale events and intimate gatherings.

His work is shaped by a lifelong curiosity developed through travel—an awareness of how place, culture, and environment influence the way a story unfolds. This perspective often draws him toward multi-day wedding weekends and multicultural celebrations, where space is created to witness and observe with full presence, understanding, and document the full rhythm of an event as it evolves naturally over time.

Alongside digital photography, many couples choose to include medium format and 35mm film, adding a purposeful and deliberate approach as well as a timeless and tactile quality that complements modern imagery.

With both photography and videography available, weddings can be documented seamlessly by Nathan Rivers Chesky's single creative team, allowing the day to unfold naturally with a full collaborative spirit and practiced collaboration towards the same aesthetic style and complementary final documentary goals.
