I had the pleasure of getting to know Ryan and Amanda while doing their engagement session in the fall. They are some of the most vibrant, fun loving people you will ever meet! Every time I'm around these two, I laugh the whole time! The love they share is tangible and their personalities compliment each other beautifully. 


They were married at Historic Avenel in Bedford Virginia on May 27th. Both being lovers of vintage goods, they wanted to bring that theme into their wedding. Old cigar boxes filled with succulents made up the center pieces for their tables. Amanda was adorned with pearls and lace and her hair and makeup had that old hollywood flair to complete her classic elegant look. In lieu of cake, they decided to bring in none other than Mama Crockett s to do the dessert. Their reception was brimming with details like jenga blocks to sign instead of a guest book, a cigar bar, and a hand painted corn hole set that was given as a gift by one of their guests (also I took the pic she used as inspiration... just sayin'... ;) ). All together, this wedding was beautiful and a joy to photograph!
