Gosh, where to begin! Amazing day! You may remember Jared & Brittany from their engagement session recently on the blog and finally, it was their big day! I loved that they incorporated JMU colors into their wedding theme … don’t think that was purposefully done, but that just shows how much JMU spirit they have without even knowing it! 😉 Both Jared and Brittany attended JMU, in fact freshmen orientation is where they met and locked eyes! So awesome! Once I arrived at Morais Vineyard to start photographing details, I was told that most of the vendors are JMU Alumni! Go Dukes! Loved hearing this. 🙂 Another fun JMU feature in this wedding that Jared & Brittany incorporated was the streamers! In fact, she gathered all of the JMU Alumni in the middle of the dance floor to demonstrate how to properly throw a streamer. Fun fact about this … I actually really didn’t know how to throw a streamer! Lol! Since I was apart of the marching band, we never had the chance to properly throw a streamer because we were the ones playing the fight song! Fortunately, I took notes from the fabulous Jennifer from MayJune Events and I think we got it right. 😉 It looks like everyone paid attention because it turned out great for the photos at the end!
Jared and Brittany, thank you SO much for an incredible Sunday!!! Your purple and gold details, the beautiful moments, the yummy brunch food … everything was amazing! I wish you both the best in your marriage!!! Enjoy some of my favorites! xoxo

Jared asked for Brittany’s great grandmother for a dance … had everyone in tears, including me! Brittany’s great grandmother danced this song with her recently passed away husband for their first dance.
