What a day! Friends, family and horses on the most glorious farm! Let’s let the pictures say it all…
I love this kind of wedding! Where the day is about family and friends and feelings and a lifetime together. Congratulations you two!
I just love getting deliveries from my binders! Here’s a deluxe album with images matted in fine art paper and bound in luscious leather. It features several stunning full sized panoramics and beautiful gilded edges. Contact the studio to find out how you can get one for yourself!
What thunderstorm? With thoughtfulness and appreciation of our quick Virginia blowovers, Amy and Pedro simply swapped their ceremony and cocktail hour so that she could have the outdoor ceremony she had dreamed of for 18 years. With love and tears and joy and sun, the two were married in the outdoor gazebo at West Manor.
Congratulations you two on your amazing day!
I always enjoy revisiting weddings after a little time has gone by! Happy Anniversary R & S!
How did you meet?
We met through mutual friends.
How did you choose your venue?
We chose our venue because we knew whether indoors or out, it would be a beautiful setting with personalized service.
Tell us about your dress, shoes and other accessories!
I wanted a simple and elegant dress. I had an idea of how I wanted it to look but couldn’t find it so I had it made. I was shopping with my daughter for shoes for her dress and saw those Valentinos. They didn’t have my size and was told after they looked on line that they were sold out all over the country. Just wasn’t meant to be I thought. Then we went to a smaller store locally and they had one pair left in my size so that was that. The outfit was almost complete. Then my best friend asked if I wanted to wear some of her special jewelry so I had my borrowed. The earrings and bracelets were just beautiful.
Describe your decor and how you chose it!
I’ve always loved the look of an all white room so that’s what I went with. I told the florist I wanted full, lush, and white with lots of candles so it would feel romantic. He went through his book with me and I combined pieces from a few different centerpieces that I saw and I lived what he put together for me.
Tell us about your food and cake!
I looked at pictures on line of fondant cakes and that too I wanted to keep simple. Because it was a small wedding I knew I only needed to tiers. We both love carrot cake so that’s what we went with and it was delicious. I told the baker that I just wanted it to be all white with white cascading flowers down the side and then left it in her hands. She did an amazing job. It was perfect.
What was your favorite moment during your wedding day?
From beginning to end I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. We both feel that we couldn’t even pick one particular moment that stood out because it was all so incredibly meaningful. There was so much love and happiness from beginning to end. From the moment we first saw each other after getting ready to the photos with our families and friends it just got better and better. The ceremony was filled with emotion, the cocktail hour fun and fabulous, and the reception was a dream. The speeches/toasts were so heartfelt, our first dance so special, and the whole night was just a great celebration. We were the last ones on the dance floor and sadly the party was over. It was truly a night and room filled with love and there was t a thing we would have done differently.
Why did you choose Allegra’s Studio for your photography?
Allegra was recommended by another photographer who does a lot of work at the venue but was unavailable that night. Allegra was kind enough to travel to be with us for our special night. She was such a pleasure to work with. So easy going and professional and … she truly captured the feeling of the evening. So thank you Allegra for sharing our night with us.
