In April, Brooke and Brett had the most beautiful Intimate Airlie Virginia Wedding. Their closest friends and family joined them in celebrating their marriage. A fear in almost every April bride is rain. You know how the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.” The day couldn’t have been anymore perfect with sunny skies and pleasant temperatures.
Brooke wanted to walk around the photogenic property of Airlie and really capture all the gorgeousness the venue has to offer. I’m so happy the weather allowed us to roam around and photograph at the most beautiful locations. Before Brooke and Brett’s wedding ceremony, I had the pleasure of meeting one of the men who helped design the Butterfly Garden. He happened to be in town admiring his work from years ago. He was so happy to see his vision and planning still showing off.
Brooke’s talented mother put together all of the florals and at the ceremony space Brooke and Brett had a beautiful painting displayed of their dog who had past away. This intimate wedding was so beautiful and I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to capture it.

Photographing the Usman Fall Morven Park Family Session again this year was such a treat!
