Adam & Cindy | Whitehall Manor, Bluemont, Virginia Wedding Photographer

Adam and Cindy | Whitehall Manor Estate in Bluemont, Virginia Wedding Photographer

Adam and Cindy. Sweet. Playful. Intelligent. Loving. I could go on and on how much I adore these two! 🙂 I know I often say how grateful I am for my business to connect me with incredible couples, but these two left me on cloud nine after their wedding! So many sweet and fun moments to share with you all today!

When Cindy and I had our final meeting, she surprised me when she said her mom was making all of the desserts, including the wedding cake. I thought to myself that was a big task to take on just days before the wedding! But apparently, this was a piece of cake for her mom to whip it up! <= See what I did there. 😉 Lol! She said it was special for her mom to make THE wedding cake because she grew up with her mom making cakes for all special occasions. After talking about this, I walked into the reception hall and found myself in awe when I saw the cake because I seriously thought it was professionally done! Kudos!!! So impressive. 🙂

I’m in love looking through these photos! Adam and Cindy went with a coral and gold, romantic theme and the pops of colors were appropriate for this summer wedding. 🙂 Although, it felt as though fall came early this year, so it was a blessing, weather-wise!! Their ceremony took place outside, surrounded by trees and their favorite people. They decided to go untraditional and not have an official wedding party. Instead, they had the cutest wedding party, who were their nieces and nephews! 🙂 ADORABLE! And let me tell you that those kids know how to boogie down on the dance floor! 😉

After their first kiss as husband and wife, it was time to relax and have fun!!! During the reception, Cindy’s girlfriends surprised everyone with a song about Adam and Cindy! Well done, girls! That definitely kicked off the party time on a good note. Then, of course, seeing Cindy playfully smash cake in Adam’s face got everyone excited for the yummy desserts. 😉 The night ended faster than I could imagine. I left the wedding excited for Adam and Cindy, and their adventures ahead. Their future is looking as bright and happy as these photos below, and even more so!!

Thank you, Adam and Cindy, for having me on Sunday!!! Documenting your engagement session and your wedding day has made my year! 🙂 I look forward to hearing all about your incredible adventures overseas, but I hope you enjoy your honeymoon in the meantime as we all gawk over your wedding photos! Haha! CONGRATS and enjoy this preview from your special day!
