This past weekend I had the honor of driving out to the gorgeous Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia for Marybeth and Patricks wedding at the stunning Inn at Warner Hall! This place is a Southern dream in every way…the historic white mansion and the grounds that sit near the water made the perfect backdrop to celebrate their new marriage! 

This day was a long time in the making…Marybeth and Patrick first met at a friends bonfire back in high school! And after years of dating long distance through college…he was in Miami and she stayed in Virginia…they finally tied the knot and I couldn’t have been more honored to celebrate with them and to capture their day!! 

I love how much thought Marybeth put into every detail of the day…some of my favorite parts were when I got to meet her dog, Sammy, who has been her best friend since she was 11! It was so special to have her there as a part of the day!! Also special was the fact that Marybeth and Patrick got married in the SAME church as her parents did 27 years ago! So amazing!! 

Friends and family came from all over to celebrate with them and the whole day was full of joy…add the most perfect weather to the mix…sunny and low 70’s…and we couldn’t have asked for a better day!! Marybeth is also a photographer so she was as excited about the photos as I was!! Which meant lots of time for pretty portraits! I was in heaven! I hope you enjoy my favorites…

And special thanks to my second shooter, Meredith Sledge, and the amazing staff at Warner Hall for helping the day run so smoothly! Marybeth and Patrick, thank you so much for including me in such an incredible day…I love you two and I am so thrilled for you guys to finally be married!! Enjoy your honeymoon in Italy!!
