I love crafty brides! Tanya made some amazing stuff for her wedding with Chris, from her boutonniere, bouquets, and centerpieces down to the tablecloths.  Tanya and Chris got married at The Berry Barn at Great Country Farms in Bluemont, Virginia.  It was a gorgeous setting, just covered in green with a perfect farmhouse at the center of it.  Tanya and Chris, along with all of their guests were just incredibly warm and kind to us and we feel so lucky to have been apart of their incredible day.  Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day:

A quick portrait of the bride and groom.

Here is Chris waiting to see Tanya for the first time!

Here is Tanya and Chris’ lens-meltingly adorable son:

Some of the incredible details that Tanya put together.

Isn’t this a creative way for the guests to sign in? Guests made a turquoise thumbprint and added it as the leaves to the tree.

They had a huge, enormous bonfire. Here, an adventurous guest braves the flames to get a delicious toasted marshmallow.

We were lucky enough to have clear blue skies with those light puffy clouds that make the perfect backdrop for any postcard worthy photo. Rock Hill Plantation was a great setting and had real, live farm animals on the grounds, along with a duck and a goose that were the best of friends (photo below of said duck and goose). According to one of the property managers, the duck was an orphan and raised in the company of geese, and came to believe that he is in fact a goose.  Based on all of this amazing stuff, there really could not have been a more perfect setting for an early fall wedding.  We’ve known Melissa and Peter for quite some time now–we shot their engagement photos ages ago near the National Monuments (and they even used the photos in a guest sign in book during the wedding!)  It was wonderful getting to see them again and be a part of their amazing day. Here are a few of my fave photos below!
