I know I say this a lot, but this wedding was definitely one for the books! It may have been a scorcher of a weekend, but even the high temps could not keep this party down. Dallas & Chris tied the knot at the beautiful Inn at Willow Grove this past weekend in Orange, VA. When I arrived at this gorgeous venue, their “fur baby”, Gus, came up to greet me as I unloaded my equipment out of my car. This little guy ended up stealing the show multiple times throughout the day with his cute little face & his “handsome” handmade floral collar (which he didn’t even scratch!). Dallas fashioned a Maggie Sottero Bridal Gown which was covered in lace & crystal buttons down the back complete with a satin sash. The bridesmaids wore a sage green gown by “Dessy” accented with purple bouquets. The groomsmen decided to keep it fun by wearing sporty shades & multicolored socks, while the groom sported a white towel in his back pocket to wipe his sweat, LOL. (sorry, I couldn’t resist the sarcasm). On a more serious note, everything about this wedding I fell in love with. From Dallas & Chris’ first look, to the cute candid moments with Gus, the energetic bridal party, the classy details, the absolutely AMAZING band (The Radio Narks), & the magical sparkler exit which wrapped up their special day. Needless to say my body was hurting by the end of it all, but for us crazy wedding photographers it’s always worth it 😉
Dallas & Chris, thank you so much for allowing me to capture your special day! It was truly an honor to witness and be a part of such an awesome celebration. I wish you two the best as you begin this journey as husband and wife!
