Castle Hill Wedding

Last weekend we had a lovely wedding at Castle Hill Cider in Keswick. The space is literally an exposed barn with cement flooring and wood walls. Hard work from a variety of vendors made the space come to life! Here are a few snapshots from the day before the big day.

Girlfriends

Yesterday Easton Events had a fabulous wedding in Lynchburg, VA! Hurricane Irene held off... for the most part...and the night could not have been any more special for the bride and groom.

I loved watching the bride and her friends together. Her bridesmaids could not have been more excited and supportive. All eyes and ears were focused on the bride. These girls sat around the house sharing childhood and college stories and laughing about funny times together...

Girl friends are one of the MOST important things in my life.

Pippin Hill Photo Shoot

Sadly I was still away during this shoot...but can we talk about how great Pippin Hill looks and how cute their little model is?? A few weeks ago Jen Fariello held a photo workshop for aspiring photographers from around the area. What better place to take pictures than Pippin Hill...inside and out!

Local Photography

Jen Fariello rocks! 

Jen is a local C'ville photographer who I have had the pleasure of working with through Easton! She has such a fun spirit and I had loved being able to watch her work her magic at weddings this summer. 

Look at this shot from the other night at King Family Vineyard. Risking her life in the name of the photo...I love it!

Weekend Wedding Set-up

Augusta and I headed out to Farmington Country Club yesterday afternoon around 1 to start preparations for the big wedding today! Everything went smoothly... it was so fun watching the sperry tent rise up between the morning and early afternoon.

How beautiful! Later in the afternoon the ceremony rehearsal took place.... Reverend Dave Johnson came out to the site and helped us orchestrate the rehearsal. Everyone was in good spirits and ready for the weekend events.

Later in the afternoon we gathered with the mother of the bride and the maid of honor to construct a mock up for the dinner tables. After a few different napkin folds and candle placement we had a winning look! 

 

Later that night we headed back to Farmington to run the light check. After a few variations and color changes the tent looked fabulous in the night sky! 

Today is going to be quite the event! I am so excited for the big day and can't wait to watch it unfold...check back soon for pictures.

Have a Super Saturday!

Clifton Wedding

Once again Easton Events put on another fab event! A few weeks ago the magical evening took place at a Church downtown and was followed by a celebration at the Clifton Inn.

We had SO much fun working with the bride and groom... they were such a lovely couple. The wedding party was spunky and super excited to have a part in the occasion. The bride and groom met here in VA too, while attending Darden at the University of Virginia...how fun!

Down beyond the main house a tent was in place and filled lighted with lanterns and beautiful florals. The rounds and farm tables came together to fill the space and created a comfy/cozy feel. Augusta sure has a creative eye!

The tent was set back and surrounded by bushes and trees creating a secret garden like atmosphere for the guests to spend their night dining and dancing away....the crowd looked like they were having a blast! One fun touch was the photo-booth that was used by the guests to compile a fun-photo filled guest book. After taking pictures the guests glued the images down and wrote sweet little messages!

Mimi and I had some fun after the event too!

Weekend Wedding Set-up

Last night Easton Events put on a fabulous (as always!) Wedding at the Clifton Inn. The bride and groom were such a great couple and the bridal party and guests could not have been more fun and easy-going...they looked like they were having a BLAST! 

 We went out to Clifton Friday afternoon to start preparations and take a look at the tent and lighting set-up. Clifton Inn is just gorgeous. Everything was in full bloom and the house looked fresh and ready for the big event.

There are so many interesting and hidden spaces within the grounds of the Clifton. While I had some free time I wandered around and snapped some photos! 

I love their secret garden like pool, located to the side of the main house. The cabana style lounge areas and twinkling white lights make the pool area feel picture perfect. 

The Clifton Inn has little cottages spread throughout...each one with a little variation and twist.  The groomsmen gathered in the Carriage House before the ceremony while the girls were located in the main house. I love the tables and chairs, located within the gardens, for the guests to use throughout their stay!

Friday afternoon the tent was in place and the lighting was being installed and finalized. Everything was coming together smoothly and was starting to look wonderful! I love having the opportunity to see the event from the beginning stages... it's incredible to watch the space transform from piles of rental items into the final product. Augusta has SUCH a creative eye!

 

The event was so much fun! I am heading out of town for the next few days but when I return I will post pictures from the night.

Weekend Wedding

It's Wednesday and I figured it's the perfect day for the Weekend Wedding photos. This weekend Easton Events helped make the magical celebration at Tuckahoe Plantation happen. It was a blast...from a large Sperry Tent to a cocktail hour spend among the gardens of Tuckahoe this wedding was simply magnificent.

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with the Bridal Party as they had their hair done and makeup set. They sat in the Bridal Suite telling stories from college and beyond. It was great fun being in the midst of their laughter and excitement. After everyone was set and ready to go we headed to Tuckahoe Plantation for the 'first look' and photos of the Wedding Party before heading to the Church. 

What a beautiful sunny day Isabelle and Mike had for their wedding! The gardens were lush, the grass was green, and the sun was streaming into the antique windows of Tuckahoe, also known as the home where Thomas Jefferson grew up and attended school! The home was adorned with old pieces of furniture and family portraits hung on the wooden or wallpapered walls.

After pictures were taken we headed to St. Marys and the ceremony took place. There was even a bagpiper waiting in the cemetery for the final procession. Look closely... the flower girl was absolutely precious. 

The Wedding was a blast. With cocktails outside and dinner and dancing under the tent the night flew by smoothly. Don't you just love the simplicity of this escort card table located among the gardens. Cardboard colored envelopes were used with a white calligraphy to create a natural style.

Hints of green and purple were used within the Sperry Tent. I loved the variety of high and low settings as well as the cushioned chivaris which really added that splash of color the bride was looking for. 

 

When things were calm and everyone was where they were needed to be I took some time to slip away and wander around the beautiful property. There were so many wonderful little spaces that were well manicured. From the inside of an old outhouse to a small fenced in garden the Plantation was the perfect place for this Spring Wedding.
