I think April 29th was one of the hottest days in April that I can remember. Instead of those beautiful spring temperatures, we had what felt like hot, muggy, August weather for Angela & Joel’s wedding celebration at the beautiful Shenandoah Valley Golf Club. It was so good to be back capturing a wedding at this beautiful venue, as the last time I was here was back in the Fall for the Handlin Wedding celebration. Needless to say I had such an amazing time with this energetic bunch, while Angela & Joel’s magical chemistry in front of the lens never failed to disappoint (wait until you see their first dance!)
Upon arrival I entered a house full of women, holding their mimosa’s while having the final touches done with their hair and make-up. Angela was standing there in her robe, holding her precious baby nephew in her arms while he was in a deep sleep. It was such a precious sight! Not at all how I expected to see the Bride when I first stepped in, which made it the cutest sight as his pudgy cheeks rested against her arm. Since the groomsmen were busy getting ready at a different location, my talented 2nd shooter, Brittany, was on a mission to track them down to start capturing their getting ready photos. Since the GPS did not want to pick up their location nor did she have service, I think it’s safe to say that Brittany explored the mountain side of Front Royal but was unable to reach her destination, LoL! I’m so thankful with how Brittany handled that situation, bc I would have been a nervous wreck! All in all everything worked out beautifully, & Brittany was able to get some amazing shots of the groomsmen at the church before the ceremony. Thank you, Brittany! 😉
There were so many elements of Angela & Joel’s wedding celebration that made it so magical. The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ church displayed beautiful stained glass windows which encompassed the sanctuary. The reception venue, Shenandoah Valley Golf Club, offered gorgeous views of the blue ridge mountains everywhere you turned. Then you had the Bridal Party photos that were full of playful energy (which also made me chuckle while editing them), & most of all I can’t get over the magic that took place on the dance floor when Joel just happened to dip Angela for a kiss RIGHT in front of me! Gah! It just doesn’t get any better than that, guys! Also, did I mention just how much I loved the colors of this wedding? Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I love my blue tones 🙂 There was so much about Angela & Joel’s wedding celebration that I easily fell in love with, & you can bet with a Bridal Party this size that there was never a dull moment!
Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Joel Lucas!
