There are weddings that are beautiful because of their setting — and then there are weddings that are unforgettable because of the people behind every detail. The Shipes’ wedding at New Field Farm at Timber Ridge in Lexington, Virginia was both.

Nestled in the rolling countryside of the Shenandoah Valley, New Field Farm at Timber Ridge offers a peaceful, elegant backdrop for couples who value meaning, craftsmanship, and connection. For the Shipes, this venue became the perfect canvas for a wedding day rooted in family, intention, and legacy.

New Field Farm at Timber Ridge is one of those venues that feels instantly welcoming — wide open skies, historic charm, and thoughtful spaces that allow a wedding day to unfold naturally.

A Father’s Love Built by Hand

One of the most meaningful details of the day — and one that guests lingered over — was the custom bookcase seating chart built by the bride’s father. Not purchased. Not rented. Built by hand.

Each shelf held thoughtfully displayed seating assignments, transforming a functional detail into a lasting heirloom. It was a beautiful reflection of the love poured into this wedding — not just by the couple, but by the family who raised them.

Moments like these are why wedding photography matters so deeply to me. They tell the story beyond the timeline — the story of who these people are.

If you’re planning a New Field Farm at Timber Ridge wedding or a Lexington, VA wedding, I would be honored to document your day with the same care — capturing both the beauty you see and the meaning you feel.
