​This past Saturday I had the great pleasure of photographing Matt and Laurel’s beautiful beach-themed wedding at Cahoon Plantation in Chesapeake, Virginia. Laurel had planned the wedding around the colors and the theme of sea glass and it was truly stunning! Everything that a beach girl like me could ever want! From the turquoise bridesmaids dresses and bouquets of baby’s-breath, to sea star boutonnieres and a twinkle light ceiling – every detail was coordinated perfectly. 

Magical. That is is the word I would use to describe this wedding. I sincerely believe that the reason why this wedding was so magical is because the magic has been growing for many, many years. Wes and Dani have been together for seven years and I don’t think a single person was surprised when they got engaged last winter. Everyone knew that these two were meant to be together!! I’ve known Dani since highschool, but I never knew Wes personally - I only knew of him through his relationship with Dani. After getting the spend the day with the two of them and watch them together, I can see why they’re everyone’s favorite couple!! The love that they have for each other is truly inspiring. ​

​When you think of perfect weather, what comes to mind? Cloudless sky? Low humidity? High of 75? Nice breeze? If that’s your ideal day, you would have been in heaven this past Sunday in Waynesboro. It was truly THE ideal day to have an outdoor wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Surrounded by rolling hills, horses, and mountains in the distance, I couldn’t have been happier to spend the day outside celebrating Mike and Alex!!
