Romance at The Salamander Resort {Lili + Tom}


We were lucky enough to venture to the Virginia hunt country's newest and most elegant resort for a stunning Fall wedding for a delightful couple! Salamander Resort and Spa was the setting for a weekend filled with lovely moments for our beautiful couple.





Lovely details . . .



Ceremony moments in an elegant tent with soft autumn colors . . .








A romantic ride in a horse drawn carriage!



 Reception details continue the muted Fall tones and add elegant fabric draping and brushed silver candlesticks mixed with crystal.



Joyful moments with the couple and their adorable sons!
 






Thanks to Andrea from The Observatory for the beautiful images and our fabulous team that made the day possible!

The intimate ceremony in Dahlgren Chapel with beautiful soft light.




Fun in the fountain!

An Oatlands Romance {Elizabeth + Matt}


There's nothing quite like an autumn wedding at a mansion in the Virginia countryside. Add perfect weather, a stunning couple and charming details and you have the makings of a perfect wedding!





Beautiful blooms by Amaryllis.


 A breathtaking setting for a ceremony!






The lovely couple took time for some portraits outside on the grounds of Oatlands.




The tented reception featuring wooden farm tables, rattan chairs, natural linen table runners and lots of greenery and lush, white flowers! Another gorgeous design by Amaryllis!





A sweet cake and rustic place cards set in a bed of moss.


And guests danced long into the night . . .
