When I met with Alicia for the very first time… I knew her wedding would be perfect. That girl is a planner! And I love her for that. She had a clear vision of how her big day would be. Well, last Saturday.. the day finally arrived! I had the opportunity to spend time with both Alicia AND Ross that morning. They were so calm and so ready to get married. After she put her wedding dress on, Alicia said “I’m so excited to see how everything’s coming together!”  All her hard work paid off. Ross and Alicia were on cloud nine as the said “I do”. All smiles… all day… except for a brief moment when someone checked the Virginia Tech game. Don’t worry – it passed. It was all around a beautiful day for two very deserving people. Small side note before you get to the many photos… Alicia and Ross have AMAZING families. Thank you to the Arquiette’s and the Van Winkle’s for being so wonderful. I know each guest at the wedding felt as if they were part of one big family. I personally felt so welcomed. Alicia and Ross, thank you so much for choosing me to be part of such an important day in your lives! Enjoy my favorites… there’s a lot!
