Kenny & Natasha | Early Mountain Vineyard, Madison Virginia Wedding Photographer

Where do I even start with these two… I met them at the Fauquier Springs Country Club spring season and immediately hit it off! I found myself talking to Natasha about anything and everything like we have been friends for YEARS! These two are so wonderful and I feel absolutely blessed and honored to have worked with them this year! Of course though, I don’t want it to end here as I don’t want my job to be just a job and be over with as soon as the wedding is over … so Natasha, count on more Carousel get togethers next year! 😉

What I really love is their genuine love for one another! It was so obvious during the wedding day how much they care about each other … but I cannot explain how fun it was to see it at the reception as they ran around dancing with not a care in the world! Natasha would run out in the middle of the dance floor and grab a pair of fun sunglasses and be the entertainer for the crowd! Love that! Another fun thing is that for the processional song choice, they walked down to the Star Wars theme song! Ha! Loved it! Oh and not to mention the gummy bear cake! Ohhhh yes! Amazing! What was also pretty cool was that one of the players in the “First Class Brass” was my 6th grade band teacher! Wow … brings back the memories!

Seems like with this couple, they just have fun moments … like if you remember the fabulous cow photo bomber in their engagement session! Also they had the not so fun moment of discovering a big MOMMA wolf spider on Kenny when setting up a pose for a shot … lol! Regardless of the moment, they carried smiles and laughs from start to finish!

THANK YOU a thousand times Kenny and Natasha for a fabulous time from the time I met you to now! I enjoyed every second of your wedding and wish you both the absolute BEST in your marriage! Enjoy the preview of your wedding! xoxo

Story behind these rings… To the left was the ring that Kenny and Natasha bought together. The ring on the right was the ring that Kenny REALLY wanted but settled for the black one. So as a little surprise at the ceremony, Natasha bought the right ring for him! Kudos Natasha for thinking of this awesome surprise!

Gummy bear cake! The gummies were shaped to be like rock candy since that is what they originally were inquiring for. So unique and fun!

In the meantime… I caught the action of decorating Kenny and Natasha’s car. Haha! Kenny was looking for his car keys later on … this might be why. 😉
