chris and marl were married on an absolutely perfect october afternoon! it seriously could not have been a more beautiful virginia day. the couple chose stevenson ridge as their wedding venue and spent the entire day there…from getting ready to ceremony to reception. this was my first time photographing a wedding at stevenson ridge (i have been itching to shoot a wedding here for a long time) and i fell totally in love with everything about it. marli got ready at spy hill house on the property. she did her own makeup…and it was gorgeous! wow! seriously…marli took my breath away. to me she has that old hollywood style of beautiful. chris got ready at the lodge on the property. love all the purple accessories chris and marli decided to see each other prior to the ceremony and had a “first look”. these two are so cute together!!
chris was trying to try marli’s happy tears…
we had so much time for portraits and i took full advantage of it! i could have photographed these two for hours and hours. i love how they look at each other… ceremony time…in the little chapel. all of the fall decor and pops of purple were gorgeous.
married! and we ended the night with a couple of back lit portraits…
chris and marli…thank you so much for entrusting me to document your beautiful wedding day. i had a wonderful time getting to know you both and laughing a lot! you have a beautiful love for each other that shines through you both. marli you could not have been any more stunning! i hope you enjoyed your honeymoon and enjoy your wedding day photos.

I love the shot of Marli in her gown, in front of the window, the skirt is twirling out just so…{the one right before photos of the groom getting ready begin}. This photo makes me happy. Classic and beautiful.
My other two favorites are the “first look” shot of groom with hand over mouth and THE KISS at the sweetheart table. Pure joy and love. Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs.!
