Happy Friday blog friends!!! So excited to bring you the wedding of Alyssa & Gary! This sweet couple has been planning this day for quite some time and it was so cool to be a part of it. They decided on July 4th as their wedding day at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. Side note: if you have not been to Meadowlark and love flowers and what I call a “structured garden” you must visit Meadowlark! The property is beautiful and there is always something new in bloom. I often see people just lounging and reading a book (although they are probably not there in this heat – eek! ). Such a beautiful place to have a wedding! Everything was in bloom and there was not a cloud in the sky. All in all the wedding was beautiful!
Alyssa & Gary – Thank you for having me be part of your day! Enjoy reliving your day 🙂
Every girl likes a little bling 🙂
The bride and her sister (also maid of honor)
Adorable flower girl!
I always love the moment that the bride gets into her dress and it all starts to seem real 🙂
Beautiful Alyssa!
Dad seeing his little girl for the first time….
Alyssa & Gary opted to do a first look so that we would have plenty of time to get their photos done and they would get to enjoy their reception. Thank you!
Ceremony time…In typically July in Virginia fashion it was a little warm, okay it was hot 🙂
Alyssa & Gary both did such heartfelt opening remarks to their guests & one another…
The cutest toast ever 🙂
Minutes before sunset we popped out for a few more portraits…
