Brandon & Summer | Big Spring Farm, Lexington, Virginia Wedding Photographer

Brandon & Summer | Pink + Navy Rustic Big Spring Farm in Lexington, Virginia Wedding PhotographerGoodness, how time flies by. It seems like it was last week when Summer came out to my office with her adorable pup to chat about her and Brandon’s wedding day! Fast forward to the week leading up to Saturday, we all prayed for the 80% chance of rain/thunderstorms to somehow disintegrate. It’s always so unpredictable to plan an outdoor wedding a year in advance. Even the day of the wedding, rain was definitely going to happen but we kept our eyes peeled for answered prayers. At that point, we prayed for no rain during the ceremony! The day was even better than what we prayed for! Praise the Lord that we didn’t have rain during anyyyyy of our scheduled outdoor photo time! Seriously, a HUGE blessing!!! We even had the chance to run out for “sunset photos” before the downpour came and fortunately there was a break in the rain to run out for a sparkler exit! Everything worked out and I’m so thankful that Brandon, Summer and their family and friends made it the best day! It was a beautiful celebration, as you will see below!

Brandon, Summer and their family and friends worked hard to put together these beautiful navy and pink rustic details. It came together beautifully! I especially enjoyed photographing the dessert table! Every guest who walked into the space immediately ran up to the dessert table to admire the set up. I’m sure they were also anxious to dive into the goodies. 😉 Haha! Well, to be honest the guests were raving about everything because this venue is so unique with the pond, barn and views! It really felt like Brandon and Summer’s theme fit SO well with Big Spring Farm. The venue has beautiful calligraphy signs around the property and it seemed like their wedding details fit right into that branding! It really was an ideal fit and know that Buddy and Jill have worked so hard to make this space a beautiful destination. <3

THANK YOU Brandon and Summer for giving me the honor of documenting your beautiful wedding day! It was a day I will never forget. <3 CONGRATS and enjoy a preview from my perspective! XOXO!
