This is one wedding I will never forget. Sam, Kristin along with their closest family and friends joined them this past Saturday at the gorgeous Stevenson Ridge in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The venue reminded me of the south seeing some of the beautiful plantation homes on site along with the tree lined driveway. I personally loved that the snow was still covering the ground making a perfect winter wedding backdrop, despite the below freezing temperatures. Speaking of which, looking back through these photos I forget how FREEZING we all were outside running around taking photos. Kudos to Sam, Kristin and the wedding party for bearing through that time outside.
Their ceremony/reception space was nothing but cozy and classy. The lights were dimmed, candles and fireplace were lit, elegant frames were in place, beautiful calligraphy mixed with silk and velvet ribbon in every spot of the room, and the space looked like it was straight out of a magazine. Kristin had a romantic vision in mind with candles everywhere and it came together so beautifully! After all, Kristin has been involved with countless weddings from her profession so I knew that this was going to be nothing but upscale. I’m so excited to share their day through my eyes with you all!
Thank you so much Sam and Kristin for honoring me of documenting your dream wedding! What a dream it was to photograph, not to mention you both looked super classy and breathtaking. 🙂 Enjoy some of my favorites from your day!!! xoxo!
