Best of 2019 | Virginia + Florida Ceremony Photos

Best of 2019 | Virginia + Florida Ceremony Photos | Keswick Vineyards

By far, my favorite moment from my own wedding day was walking away from the ceremony hand in hand with my HUSBAND! You can ask Alex… I have that photo printed and used everywhere! Haha! A flood of feelings comes back seeing the joy and excitement on our faces. 🙂 So this blog post is a meaningful one — Afterall, a wedding wouldn’t be the same without a ceremony, right? After reflecting on our own wedding day, I would love to share my favorite Virginia + Florida ceremony photos of my sweet couples!

I wouldn’t be a wedding photographer if it wasn’t for photographing weddings!!! 🙂

After the bride and groom are dressed and enjoyed photo time with their friends, it’s time to get HITCHED!!! The anticipation, excitement, and nerves just moments before walking down the aisle are overwhelming. But as soon as you lock eyes down the aisle, it’s unlike any dream you envisioned!

Before you know it, the vows and rings are exchanged and it’s time to share your first kiss as husband and wife! But in between that time is so special and beautiful. I wish I could replay the script in my head from my own wedding day, but I love that photos take us back to that very place in time.

Looking through these photos below and I cannot help but feel connected to them. I see my couples who value their relationship with the Lord, each other, and family! How special is that to share their celebration with the most important people in their lives all in one place!!!

I’m currently praying that my 2019 couples will get to experience these moments below. <3 <3 <3 HUGS to all of my spring couples in Virginia!!!

Enjoy checking out some of my favorite Virginia + Florida ceremony photos from 2019!

Cheers to love!!!!
