Although it’s been a while since this wedding, I still think back at how lovely it was! The bride and groom were such wonderful people, and naturally their families were warm and welcoming as well!
Courtney and Richard married in an intimate ceremony with their family at St. John’s Church in Warrenton, VA. The love of the families was evident in their excitement in the union. While a thunderstorm rolled in during the ceremony, it cleared out quickly enough for us to get photos in the lovely grounds of the church, and in downtown Warrenton.
Following a fun photo session, the reception was held at a private residence. A tent had been set up, and decorated beautifully.
Courtney and Richard had a beautiful wedding, and I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to photograph it!
