We loved this wedding!! It belongs to Jessica and Laurence who had a beautiful wedding & reception at The Mill at Fine Creek in Powhatan, Virginia (near Richmond). Although they had to change the location of their ceremony due to rain, I really couldn't think of anything more perfect ---- it was a cozy, fall, candlelit ceremony surrounded by all of their friends and family... And I really can't say enough about Jess and Laurence - they were both so nice and accommodating --- we 're so fortunate to have been a part of their lovely day!!
Some of our favorites!! For some reason Dan and I love the hair on the right:
My prediction for this couple if they decide to have kids: BEAUTIFUL THICK BROWN HAIR!! --- the eye color will be a toss up as you'll see what we mean in a sec....
Three things right off the bat that I loved about this wedding 1- the guys' grey tuxes, 2 - the flowers and, 3 - she had this whole fall, bird theme going on....loved it!!
Love this!
As I was saying, the eyes could be really brown like Laurence or Jess's pretty aqua color - hmm... And, notice the picture of her grandmother attached to her bouquet - so sweet.
Jess wore these cowboy boots under her dress!
Oops, going a little out of order here...
Isn't Jess stunning?! Love this one of Laurence getting ready too :)
Beautiful (and very sweet) bridesmiads!!
Even though the ceremony was moved from outdoors to indoors, it was very intimate and cozy -- it was almost just candle-lit -- very dark but it suited the weather...
I love the one on the right :)
Jessica and Laurence escaped the crowd right after the ceremony for a few intimate portraits on the porch of this little cabin. It was really pouring at this point but it made it fun!! Especially for me an Dan, we love a good photo challenge!
Mmmm, so sweet ---
I love how he has his hand on her shoulder in the photo on the right. Hair piece on left came from Etsy --- she got a ton of stuff from there, including this super cute bird house she gave us -- I'd snap a photo but it's pouring rain right now :(.
Jess reads our blog regularly so after they did this she said, "Did you think we were going to be cake smashers," -- cute, right!? I said yes but really I wasn't 100% sure --- I would have bet $ on it though...
Bottom right: Guests wrote messages on different squares of fabric (all bird themed) that she is going to make into a quit --- yes, she's very crafty!
The End!! Jess and Laurence --- thanks so much for having us, you guys were great!!!! xoxo

I'm pretty sure one of the most spectacular events we've photographed this year was Kit & Bobby's wedding. You might remember their engagement pictures from a few months ago -- there was a bike and a horse who wanted to snack on Bobby's hair.
Kit and Bobby's gorgeous wedding seemed to be truly tailor-made. To understand this bride and groom a little -- they are both from Knoxville, TN but have lived in NYC for a long time. And, in their wedding, they definitely seemed to blend those two worlds together. During the day it was a gorgeous southern wedding on a horse farm in East Tennessee. And then at night, it was transformed into a really chic outdoor party. You could see all of Kit's elegant, chic style in every detail. They were married at Penrose Farm -- a beautiful private residence and horse farm made even more wedding-fantastic by Libby Fisher of Libby Fisher Designs. At the bottom of this post I'll list the full team of vendors who helped make this event such a huge success!
Now, on to some of our favorite shots of the day!!
The dress was a one of a kind Vera Wang!!
Kit's make-up artist, Andrew Peterson, said Audrey Hepburn was his inspiration for her make-up that day and she totally looked the part!
Of course, the shoes were incredible too. One of her friends said of her Jimmy Choos, "that's so very Carrie Bradshaw of you" :)
I just loved that portrait of Kit when she was little.
Daytime details.
I love the seriousness of this one.
And the not so seriousness of this one :)
I actually like this kiss pic a little better than the ceremony 'first kiss' because this was a moment just after the ceremony between the two of them that was totally spontaneous - a we're just so happy because we just got married kiss.
LOVE these next two -- You all know this is always my favorite part. This is Kit's brother (Harrison :) ) and a groomsman hugging Bobby after the ceremony.
Too cute
Cocktail hour at dusk
Dining Tent
Isn't this a dream set-up? This private residence seemed to be made for this!
First Dance
Night details
A great getaway car!
I almost forgot one of my favorite parts! Kit & Bobby may be New Yorkers now but they certainly haven't forgotten their roots because this part is a late-night, Kingston Pike classic -- At midnight the servers passed around Krystal Hamburgers and Krispy Kreme doughnuts :) Kit and Bobby were so sweet from start to finish. Thank you both for a wonderful day!

Tyler Lacy says:
Awesome pics..Natalie and Dan. Looks like a beautiful wedding!
Libby Fisher says:
What a wonderful wedding and crew to make it all come together! It was an amazing evening, but I must say the best part was when a rainbow appeared as the bride walked down the asile with her dad. You just can't plan that!
Thannk you for capturing the magical moments of the evening!

Alissa Ferullo says:
Stunning!!! These images are so beautifully done, wow!! Love all your detail shots! Oh, and I'd love to know where and when you used flash - that reception was dreamy! Was there enough "natural" light for those shots? Great job!!!
