CrossKeys Vineyard Wedding In The Beautiful Virginia Mountains || Harrisonburg, VA

My whole entire heart y'all.....πŸ’› || I seriously could not have dreamed up a better day for Cassy and Larry!!!! I've been looking forward to this day since last September when I photographed their surprise proposal and to say I didn't cry like I was apart of the family the whole day......would be a lie. Over the past year I have grown so close to this couple due to wedding planning, phone calls, group texts, and emails so when it came down to the actual wedding day - I felt so much joy in my heart, like all the family members and guests did! Everything about their day was perfect and I am so blessed they let me drive up to Virginia to be their photographer again but this time...with a little wedding twist πŸ˜‰!!! Totally worth the 10 hour drive!!! πŸ“ΈπŸ’ #swiperighttorussell

The boys got ready at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Harrisonburg! It was perfect for all the getting ready shots of the Groom and his Groomsmen!

β€œCan we all get in the bed and cuddle with each other for a photo??????” -The Boys

Cassy read her note from Larry outside on the balcony with just the videographer and I present which made the whole moment so intimate. She looked at every word he wrote and really soaked it in. So many tears of joy came from this moment.

Time for mama to finish getting ready so she can get her daughter dressed!!!

Here comes the tears…..OH MY GOODNESS these bridesmaids made me bawl my eyes out when they saw Cassy in her wedding dress. Love these.

THEN THE FIRST LOOK WITH HER DAD….PHEW, CUE THE TEARS AGAIN YA’LL.

Okay back to more #bridesquad and #bride photos!!!

Larry read Cassy’s letter to him in private and it was so sweet. This moment was so raw and emotional, I just kind of snuck around him without making a sound while photographing this because I didn’t want to disrupt him.

Oh gosh…..the men!!! These guys cracked me up THE WHOLE TIME. Please enjoy these.

Then it was time to explore with the newlyweds and find some golden light for their couple photos!!! And let me just say……THE SUN DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

Reception time!!!!

One last dance for these two love birds but this time….they wanted a private dance with each other without all the guests watching. So sweet.

Right before the exit, it stared POURING. But that didn’t stop them from running out, kissing, and walking to their limo giving big hugs to their family and friends before they left.

Then the next morning before I left for my roadtrip back home to Georgia, I met with them in the parking lot before THEY LEFT for their honeymoon!!! It was so fun sending them off with lots of hugs and laughter! Great way to end my weekend there celebrating these two love birds!
