Melissa and Zac said their “I dos” in the comfort of their cozy living room tonight surrounded by their closest family. Melissa looked absolutely stunning and Zac only had eyes for his bride. Congratulations again to this sweet couple! 🥰🤍💍

Not the best photo since we didn’t get good lighting for it BUT the most important thing is that the memory of Rachel and Brent’s heartfelt elopement is emblazoned in my mind. What a beautiful couple and lucky to have such a kind and loving family there to support them in their new journey as husband and wife. 🥹🫶🏼

Handfasting is one of the oldest wedding traditions, dating back thousands of years to Celtic, Norse, and Pagan cultures. ✨ In those times, couples would have their hands bound together with ribbon, cord, or cloth as a symbol of their union. It was both a spiritual and legal way of pledging themselves to one another.

The phrase “tying the knot” actually comes from this very ritual. 🌿 When the hands were bound, it represented the weaving together of two lives, two families, and two destinies.

What makes handfasting so beautiful today is its versatility and meaning. Couples often choose cords in colors that reflect their values and hopes… like red for passion, green for growth, gold for prosperity, or white for new beginnings. Some even use heirloom fabrics, like a piece of a wedding dress or military uniform, to weave their personal story into the ritual.

In a modern ceremony, handfasting is more than just tradition, it’s a living reminder that love is a choice and a bond, both fragile and unbreakable, held together by devotion, respect, and intention. 🤍

Breathtaking edits from Kanded LLC of Sandra and Kevin’s elopement at Ravens Roost Overlook in Lyndhurst, VA. They incorporated the ancient tradition of the handfasting into their ceremony but those photos deserve a whole post of their own so stay tuned. 🥰

Repost from 🥰 For Madeline and Jack, long-awaited “I do’s” took place at the perfect time! Their vows told a story of their many years together, and everyone on that vineyard hillside that day could feel the love brought forth in their promises to one another. ❤️

My millennial heart is BURSTING at the seams! 🥰 I’m beyond excited to announce that I’ll be attending the Wedding Showcase at Mountain Lake Lodge… the very place where Dirty Dancing was filmed! 🕺💃

Like so many of you, that movie was such a huge part of my childhood… from quoting the lines, to (unsuccessfully 😅) trying to master the dances, to dreaming about being Baby. Stepping onto those iconic grounds feels like stepping straight into the movie and I can’t wait!

This is such a special opportunity for couples to tour the breathtaking venue, soak in all the nostalgia, and connect with incredible local wedding vendors (like me 🙋🏽‍♀️). If you’re planning your big day, you don’t want to miss this. 💍✨

Sharing some stunning edits from Jayybird's Photography of Brittinae & Aaron’s sweet elopement at a remote Airbnb tucked away in Amherst County. 🌿✨ The whole day was so relaxed and laid back… full of laughs, love, and the freedom to slow down and truly be in the moment.

Today I had the honor of officiating Candice & Chad’s vow renewal as they celebrate 20 incredible years together. 💍✨ Their love story began in the Navy, with their very first date all the way in Australia and has grown into a life filled with dedication, laughter, and the joy of raising four beautiful children. 🥰

Two decades later, their commitment to preserving love and respect for one another shines as bright as ever. Here’s to the journey behind them and the many more chapters ahead. 🤍
