I’m sure if someone said ‘you know that little old church on Gordonsville Road on the way to Charlottesville?’... you’ll know exactly what they’re talking about. That church had left an impression in my mind… It’s gorgeous.  When Kelli and Daniel told me they would be exchanging vows there, I was beyond excited.   In case you don’t know the name, like I didn’t, it’s Grace Episcopal Church in Keswick and it held their perfect wedding day…. the weather was gorgeous, the backdrop was amazing, the bride and groom were stunning.  Kelli and Daniel had been dating for 7 YEARS. They are another one of my high school sweet heart stories. I adore these.  These couples are just as in love today as they were in high school… Kelli and Daniel are no exception. Mr. and Mrs. McBee, thank you for allowing me to capture you wedding day! It was an unbelievably beautiful! I hope you’re having a blast in St. Croix! Enjoy my extra long post… I couldn’t narrow it down…

Kelli and Daniel opted for a first look. We had a ton of time for portraits!

Portrait time! These two were SO easy to photograph!

They went into a field for me with no hesitation. So glad they did!

Gorgeous!!

It’s been 7 years… time to get married!

Married!!!

Love this one!

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. McBee!

Let me explain this next set of photos… Kelli’s brother, Cpl. Dylan Grczin, is stationed on the USS New York. He is currently on an 8 month mission in the Mediterranean. He wasn’t able to share in Kelli and Daniel’s wedding day BUT Kelli’s dad had a cardboard cut out made. Guests were asked to send whatever photos they took with “Dylan”. Genius!!! Thank you Dylan for serving our country!

Congratulations, again!!!

Finally!  Suzy and Jon tied the knot!  I had been waiting and waiting for this wedding ever since their engagement shoot.  I arrived at the manor house where Suzy and her girls were getting ready.  I quickly learned the flowers originally ordered were lost… the honeymoon booked had some travel issues and a loved one very dear to Suzy and Jon’s heart had been hospitalized.  The week from you know where happened to these two.  Did it get Suzy down? Absolutely not.  She was marrying Jon that day, wrong flowers and all.  Nothing but smiles, that girl was absolutely stunning.  The flowers came through, the honeymoon was worked out and the weather cooperated until everyone was under the reception tent.  Suzy and Jon shared their long awaited vows with family and friends. It was a beautiful day and I was so honored to be a part of it.  Enjoy a few of my favorites!

Suzy had monogram shirts made for her girls to get ready in!

So excited! Love it!

Gorgeous bridesmaids hair by the amazing Amie and Pam Petty!

Flowers by Jon’s family!

Married! And I love both of their reactions!

After the ceremony Lilly found a frog! That girl is fearless.

Jon is a cancer survivor.  Instead of favors, they donated money to the Massey Cancer Center.  Amazing.

Love this one!

The tent was a little wet… but Jon had no problem helping Suzy keep her dress off the ground.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Hetrick!

On Saturday, April 28th, Kevin married his highschool sweetheart, Katie. It was perfect. When I met Katie during her initial consult, we talked a little bit about the wedding and a lot about Kevin.  She told me how they met in high school, how they went to college together and how they finally were getting married.  I knew they had originally planned a Disney wedding.  Kevin and Katie love, love Disney. So, when she switched to Spotsylvania, I was curious to know how the wedding would look.  It. Was. Amazing.  Katie had an awesome group of vendors and an incredible attention to detail. The day was just beautiful.  Their family and friends filled the Lodge with love and you could feel it.  There was nothing but smiles (and a few happy tears).  Katie’s dad pulled me aside during dinner and told me he had never seen anyone be as into my job as I was.  Mr. Erisman, you might not of known it, but you made my night.  And when you have amazing couples like Katie and Kevin, it’s so easy to get into my job.  Prepare yourself for an extremely long post… I had way too many favorites! Katie and Kevin, thank you for allowing me to capture your big day!

Kevin’s sisters served as Katie’s Maid of Honor and Bridesmaid. I adored their relationship.

Kevin and his groomsmen brought Katie and her bridesmaids a serious spread of sushi and beverages…of course without seeing her!

Surprise bridesmaids gifts!

A little touch of Disney…

Their first look! I’d say Kevin was pretty excited!

Portrait time! All taken before the ceremony.  A major benefit  of the First Look.

A favorite!

Katie! Seriously?! So, so pretty!

Another touch of Disney… Love this!

How cute is this little guy?!

Seeing her dad before the ceremony… so touching.

Married!

Fellow blog readers… the following 3 images are exactly why I cry at every single wedding.

Root beer float station!

Back story… Katie insisted no cake to the face (I’m on her side!)  Kevin, being the awesome guy he is 100% obliged.  But just to give the crowd what they wanted, he took a handful of cake to his own face. Pretty amazing.

Thank you again, Katie and Kevin!
