Being so close to Virginia wine country is easily one of my favorite parts about living here. (Both for work and play!) What's your favorite winery in the area?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are a few of my favorites: @bluemontvineyard (pictured here on film!) @stonetowerwinery @breauxvineyards - among others! It's so hard to choose, especially with all the pretty views! 
It's been a while since I shared a photo of myself on here! This is my little family: my husband B and our dog, Chewy (he’s a wauzer - half schnauzer, half westie). 🐶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks to @rebeccawilcher for taking our anniversary photos last year! We chose to do an in-home session since it was our first year in the new house, and we're spending so much time in it. 
The best tip I can give you when choosing a getting ready room: look for windows! The more windows the better (but you’ll want at least one). Natural light is ideal for soft, beautiful bridal portraits before the wedding celebrations begin.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This gorgeous getting ready suite is at @rustmanorhouse - such a dream space! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue: @rustmanorhouse⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coordinator / Stylist: @alwayscreatingstudio⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photographer: @emilyalyssaphotography⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Florist: @wisteriastudio⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hair & Makeup: @beautyforashes_ashleyfrost⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Gown: @enzoani⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dress Boutique: @elegancebyroyaoldtown⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Groom’s attire: @altonlaneweddings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Officiant: Donna Ruland 
The first wedding of 2021 is here! After having to postpone their spring wedding last year, Matt and Chelsea can finally call each other husband and wife. Despite the challenges in planning, their day was overflowing with love. Both from their small group of guests, and from all those who joined virtually! Seeing these two overcome obstacles with such grace shows just how strong their marriage will be.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And in the end, it was worth the wait - DC was really showing off with the most beautiful spring day. Chelsea & Matt - congratulations and thanks for letting me be part of your story!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue: @districtwinery @districtwineryweddings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photographer: @emilyalyssaphotography⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Florals: @growingwildfloral⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hair/makeup: @carlapressleyhairmakeup⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Invitations: @minted⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DJ: @dangoldmanevents⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cake: @fluffythoughtscakes
