Justin & Becky⎜Virginia Wedding Photographer

I absolutely adore this couple!! They decided to wait to see each other at the aisle and their smiles were huge. Justin and Becky were so sweet seeing each other. After vows to love and cherish one another they loaded into their huge truck and wound down the backgrounds together as husband and wife to their reception. Barren Ridge Vineyard shone golden in the evening light with their guests meandering the patio during cocktail hour. I loved the portraits we got of the couple here!! Justin and Becky celebrated into the night with their closest of family and friends– entertwined in each other with love, laugher, and newlywed excitement. Thank you both for allowing me to document your special day! Your magnetic personalities draw us all in and bring joy to others…

Justin’s Dad got his wife a watch on their wedding day and engraved it too! Such a sweet tradition.

Becky is hands down the most awesome and laid-back bride. When we asked her to get dressed in the church side entry because the bridal room was yellow and full of furniture, she didn’t bat an eye!! I love the lighting and there were some super sweet moments with Mom and Grandma that are print worthy thanks to the light and clean space!
