The Culpepper Barn Wedding The Culpepper Barn is a beautiful place to get married! What can you expect in a marriage when Michael Jackson is present thanks to the officiant (seriously, she even sang some of his songs), you have Martha Stewart as a ring bearer (the Saint Bernard) and your tribe parties harder than you showing you they have your back? Pure awesomeness. Courtney and Kendall’s four year journey have taught them that no matter how much remodeling, messes, DIY projects together, late night disagreements and dogs they adopt, they are in this for the long haul. As athletes, they met during a Rugby tournament, and of course…

Virginia Aquarium Wedding | Renee and John
Virginia Aquarium Wedding Renee and John They met on a night out. John had the courage to get closer and Renee did something she’s never done. Give her phone number to a stranger during a girl’s night out. When I asked Renee about their relationship, her answer was, “We don’t complete each other, we each compliment the other.” This is how it should be, to make each other a strong ally in life’s race. To have someone have your back, love you and fight for you. Renee and John are very lay back and their goal was to enjoy their time with family and friends. They got married by the…

One Fish Two Fish Wedding | Matthew and Andrew
One Fish Two Fish Wedding Matthew and Andrew I absolutely love One Fish Two Fish Weddings. The space is perfect for intimate celebrations. Matthew and Andrew’s wedding was just that. A small in size but big celebration of love and finding that person who makes you happy. A person who you can feel like yourself again. They met thanks to online dating, quickly hit it off and with long conversations realized they were perfect for each other. I often ask my couples to tell me about themselves during the wedding planning via a wedding questionnaire. However, I do not read it until after the wedding and when I am ready…

Shifting Sands Wedding | Adrian and Alex
Shifting Sands Wedding Adrian and Alex This Shifting Sands Wedding was full of all moments I hold dear. Love, family and a big party! Adrian and Alex met years ago while attending Church. During the ceremony, Pastor Urbanski mentioned how it made all sense that they fell in love. I couldn’t agree more. Alex’s genius blends perfectly with Adrian’s. They love to laugh and have fun with those they love. The way Alex looks at Adrian, says a thousand words along with his smile. On their first date, they went to Mt. Nittany to hike; four years later they got engaged on the same mountain. Their weekend celebration was perfectly aligned…

Lesner Inn Wedding | Liz + Ray | Blue, Green and Seashore
Lesner Inn Wedding Blue, Green and Seashore Love 2016 Liz and Ray’s Lesner Inn Wedding combined the perfect seashore colors. They are so alike in many ways, can laugh equally, are goofy similarly and hilarious all the same. These are my clients. They are funny, kind, loving and romantic but not full of themselves. Liz and Ray absolutely love to party and have a good time with family and friends. They rejoice in love and feel weddings are over the top so they cannot wait to make their day a big celebration instead of an orchestrated and boring affair. They don’t care about the things, they care about their connection,…

Norfolk Botanical Garden Wedding | Kimberly + Brett
2014 Kimberly and Brett’s Norfolk Botanical Garden Wedding was absolutely beautiful. It was HOT but then again so is them. Brett is a gentleman and when he interacts with Kimberly. It is like watching two lovers from the 50s. Polite, sweet and old-fashioned love. When I asked Kimberly how they would describe themselves as a couple, she wrote, “Loving, caring, fun, & respectful”. I couldn’t agree more. You could see their love and care as they walked together. They are also quite creative as their centerpieces were DIY. Kim’s grandmother’s 80 years birthday was the same day so of course, they surprised her with her own cake and everybody sang…
