What a celebration that was had for Tra and Chris’s RiverView at Occoquan Virginia Wedding. After having to postpone a year due to COVID restrictions they were finally able to celebrate amongst their friends and family. We had the most beautiful and Spring day and I was so happy to work with some of my favorite wedding vendors again as well as meeting a few new favorites.

RiverView at Occoquan Virginia Wedding

A few minutes before the ceremony began, a random kite that was stuck in a tree above the ceremony space got loose and started flying around. The string attached flew all over the DJ and freaked him out since he did’n’t know what it was. Luckily, the kite didn’t hit anyone during the ceremony and didn’t make too much noise. During cocktail hour the kite was eventually low enough for someone to grab and throw away.

Tra and Chris were all smiles and waves as they walked in their gorgeous reception space. They shared a beautiful choreographed dance followed by a few tears during toasts. I think one of the top things they were looking forward to during their reception was the cake! As they were cutting they exclaimed how excited they were and how they had waited over a year to enjoy this cake. They took one bite and went to heaven. Liberty Baking Company knocked it out of the park with taste and absolutely gorgeous design.
