Kevin & Alyssa Wedding | King Family Vineyards, Crozet, Virginia Photographer

Kevin, Alyssa and I met in Fredericksburg a few months ago with their ADORABLE puppy. Of course I LOVE animals … so immediately, they stole my heart! Haha! From our wonderful meeting to their adorable spring engagement session to their wedding day last Friday, I know Alyssa was busy at work with her planning. I am a sucker when it comes to details and of course when I saw the details she had … the pink shoes … the ADORABLE garters … reception decorations … I was ecstatic to photograph them all! Everything was so beautifully put together and of course the backdrop for the wedding was absolutely BREATHTAKING! 🙂 One of the biggest hits of the night was the candy bar! Oh and the cupcake shooters?! I have never seen this before! To say the least, Kevin and Alyssa had a great wedding celebration!
So happy for you both! Thank you for everything and I wish you two the BEST marriage!!! xoxo
