Amanda and Will | 9-6-15

This past labor day we had the great pleasure of coordinating Amanda and Will's adorable "I do's"! Amanda and Will met when they both attended Virginia Tech, but didn't start dating until after Will had graduated and moved away! Luckily (as fate will have it), Will came back for a birthday party and these two love birds hit it off and started their journey together! Soon after Amanda's graduation, the two packed up and moved down to Baton Rouge to pursue her Chemical Engineering and his Wood Science career!

The two decided to get married where it all began, in good ol' Virginia :-) They chose the beautiful Mill at Fine Creek for their nuptials. Though it had rained the days leading up to the wedding, we were still able to have their ceremony on the lawn in front of the Mill! Their wedding was filled with blush tones, dusty browns, and gorgeous greens, not to mention, all of their beautiful friends :)

We are so happy we were able to work with this wonderful couple and get to know them more throughout the process! Happy 2 month anniversary you love birds you!

 

Cheers!



Mallory + Irving | 8-29-15

Burgundy, purple and blush, oh my! Mallory and Irving's wedding this past August was filled with not only these captivating colors, but with laughter and love! It was such a treat working with the quirkiest, coolest, self-proclaimed nerds I've ever met! Getting to know their hobbies, how they share quality time together (this includes comic-con!), and getting to know them as individuals was so much fun. 

Their wedding was elegant yet relaxed at the same time, taking place at the wonderful Williamsburg Winery in Virginia. The couple chose to decorate with gorgeous flowers by Norfolk Wholesale, pearls, custom numbered wine bottles, and candles galore! I don't think there was ever a moment during the reception that the dance floor was empty! It was just such a fun group and joyous occasion!

Scroll through the pictures below to enjoy their beautiful day with me! And look for Mallory's special surprise grooms cake for Irving ;-)

Styled Wedding Shoot | Midsummer Night's Dream

Considering it is now midsummer, it is time to share some beauties taken by Kait Winston Photography! Kait, Shana (of Sassy Snap Dragon Florals) and I created this shoot to embody the whimsical and dream-like summer romance of William Shakespeare's phenomenal play. Shana created enchanting floral details that popped beautifully with the romantic, earthy river-scape. Pearl's Cupcakes designed and provided the sweetest cupcakes that were not only pleasing to the eye, but absolutely delicious! The model of the shoot was yours truly! It was so fun to design, style and model for this shoot:) So without further a-do, please enjoy the photos below!

 

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.” 
-William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Nights Dream
