As soon as Julia and I first spoke over the phone, I knew her wedding was going to be stunning. I knew she had amazing taste in style from they way she described her vision. Leading up to the wedding, Julia sent me images to go along with her vision. I loved seeing all the different details come together.
Mount Ida Farm Virginia Wedding
The week of the wedding, it was calling for 100% chance of rain all day long. Julia and Hayden had to make the tough decision to move their wedding ceremony indoors the day prior. However, on wedding day it only drizzled! We couldn’t have lucked out more on the weather and were able to capture some really incredible images Julia had in mind for the last few months.
Lots of happy tears were shed through the day from first looks with Dad to vows with Hayden. During the reception, Julia and Hayden snuck out with Hayden’s parents to open a 30 year old bottle of Champagne. Hayden’s parents purchased and saved it for a special occasion when he was born. They knew that his wedding day was the perfect special opportunity.
What an absolutely gorgeous day and couple! Thank you Julia and Hayden for choosing me to capture your day.
