Nathan Rivers Chesky

Voted Asheville’s best wedding photographer three years running, and one of the mountain shooters we share a dance floor with most.

In Their Words

As a wedding photographer in North Carolina, I meet and work with a lot of DJs, and the whole Dow Oak team are by far one of my favorites to work with! We work together at the lovely wedding venue Castle Ladyhawke dozens of times a year. The best!

Meet Them

A Documentary Eye For The Mountains

Nathan Rivers Chesky is an Asheville wedding photographer and filmmaker whose work blends documentary storytelling with a refined, editorial finish. Rather than posing every moment, he builds an easy environment where couples can just be present, then quietly captures the real thing as it unfolds.

His images have been featured in Garden & Gun Weddings, Junebug Weddings, and Forbes, and he has been commissioned directly by Garden & Gun and Explore Asheville. If you are marrying anywhere in Western North Carolina, he is one of the most trusted names in the region, and we get to prove it alongside him at Castle Ladyhawke all season long.

Why We Love Working Together

Straight From The Dow Oak Team

“We have shared the floor at Castle Ladyhawke with Nathan more times than we can count, and every single time his eye for a moment makes our whole night better. If Nathan is documenting your mountain wedding, you are in the best hands in Western North Carolina.”

When We Team Up

Two Vendors, One Unforgettable Day

A great DJ keeps the party alive, a great photographer makes it last forever. When Nathan is behind the lens and Dow Oak is running the room, your guests stay on the floor and your album ends up full of the real, unposed joy of the night.
