Anna and Stephen- Lexington, Virginia - Wedding Recap

There is something extremely beautiful about a backyard wedding that other weddings seem to miss. This wedding in particular was breathtaking, since the backyard happened to be on the side of a mountain overlooking the Shenandoah Valley. You can't get any better than that.

Stephen and Anna's wedding took place at Anna's parents' house outside of Lexington, Virginia at the end of last month. It was very classy and I'm sure you all will enjoy looking at these photos as much as I do.

They had a trailer hitched to a wagon that carried the wedding guests from the parking lot to the house.













































One of Stephen's favorite food is a PB&J sandwich. So, as a joke, the caterers served him a PB&J for his meal!





An old family tradition was to cut the cake with a military sword. Isn't that cool?











And of course, we can't forget the dancing...







Stephen did his undergrad at JMU, which happens to also be my undergrad. So of course, the Dukes at the wedding had to represent by singing the fight song:



Anna went to school at UVA for undergrad and grad (it's how she and Stephen met... they both attended graduate school here). So of course the Hoos had to respond with their own little rendition of UVA's alma mater:
















Congratulations Anna and Stephen! Your wedding was absolutely lovely and I had a great time working with you!

Anna + Stephen - An Engagement Session

Anna & Stephen

Anna and Stephen met at UVA during grad school a few years ago, so we did the engagement session at UVA, as well as the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville. Charlottesville is such a beautiful town! We were worried that we'd be rained out, but once we started the engagement session, the sun came out.

It was interesting to learn that Stephen went to JMU for his undergrad and actually worked in the same office that I work in now, so we know a lot of the same people!

Anyway, both Anna and Stephen were great to work with and I look forward to shooting their wedding next year!

Their first date was at this Regal Cinema Theater, so it was fun to shoot at a place that has a lot of meaning to them :)
