I absolutely fell in love with Brittany’s personality and these two’s love for each other on their wedding day at the beautiful Great Marsh Estate in Virginia. Brittany got ready with her girls all together in the vintage bridal suite in classic black and white robes, while John freshened up to wait for his bride for their first look. This was one of the more emotional first looks I’ve seen, although there is no right way to do one and how to react. But both held back tears as they read each other their private notes that they had written for each other.
The ceremony space in the back of the home is naturally stunning, with guests arriving and wowed by the homes grounds. After portraits and saying I do, we headed down the road to the reception barn space at the Great Marsh and I loved getting to see the well thought out speeches for our star couple. The band was fabulous and got everyone dancing, including a cameo from Brittany herself. Enjoy the highlights from this beautiful wedding day below.
