INN AT WESTWOOD FARM WEDDING, ORANGE VA: MATT + HEATHER
If I could photograph only farm weddings from now until eternity, I'd have a life of bliss! The beauty of nature, the adorable animals, and the golden sunlight keep me swooning! Matt and Heather hosted their wedding at the Inn at Westwood Farm in Orange, VA. We couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect day! Plus, it was a super fun reunion for Chris and I! We both used to work with the bride Heather and her bridesmaid Kerri at CAMP-of-the-WOODS in the Adirondack mountains of NY! Kerri and I were actually pen-pals for a long time and then roomies for a couple years. I loved getting to celebrate with them all day, and witness the love between Heather and her new husband Matt. I couldn't imagine a more perfect partner in crime for Heather!
Meet Giselle - the most adorable donkey I've ever seen! We'll see more of her later! :)
Love all the girls reactions to seeing Heather in her wedding dress!
Heather's dad was looking so stylish with his bowtie!
This sail cloth tent was amazing! It feels so grand yet still so inviting...
Guests hanging out with Giselle before the ceremony! Also, the groom's parents built that arbor themselves - isn't it amazing?! I could never do that!
Matt and Heather chose to plant a tree to symbolize their unity. Like a tree, a marriage must have strong roots and resilience against all weather and storms. You can read more about it here!
Looooooooove this perfect moment! Donkey, sunset, couple in love...check, check, check!
Guests enjoyed cocktails at the barn, games of corn-hole and croquet, and a magical sunset!
We were spoiled by this fantastic blue grass band all night long!
The couple exited through a tunnel of sparklers and cheers! Heather and Matt, thank you so much for inviting me into this time in your lives! May your marriage be full of love and adventure! :)
