A November Soiree at the Lesner Inn Virginia Beach : Anna + Alex

November 7th, the sun was proudly shining and the weather was a complete dream. The boys in their blue tux’s were enjoying a few pre-ceremony beers on the “Next Chapter” (a very fitting name for this day). It was the Father of the Brides boat, which was a great spot for the groom to read the letter his bride wrote him.

The Lesner Inn was glowing it’s warm golden hues as guests arrived and grabbed their custom apple mimosa’s, which complimented the bridesmaids gowns perfectly, to sip on before the ceremony began.

Anna and Alex decided on a first look before the wedding. Alex was tucked away downstairs and when Anna surfaced from the back hallway to tap her grooms shoulder, he had the reaction of a man who just won the lottery. Which he completely did. Anna’s teary, million dollar smile was also one I will never forget.

The two shared their I do’s right as the sun was setting. Which is probably what every bride and groom envisions on their wedding day.

The crowd was ready to celebrate and they did all evening long! You could find Anna and Alex, literally dancing to every corner of the ball room to say hello to guests and even on the way to cut their cake. (The cutest!)

I do have to say, my favorite moment that night was during the speeches, specifically Mike’s, who is Anna’s father. He was talking of Alex and the first moments when he met him. Then he proceeded to say how he was so proud of him to be his new son. At that moment Anna had the sweetest smile, nuzzled into Alex’s neck (you can see that cuteness in their slideshow)

I did not realize this would be our last wedding of 2020 until last week (thanks pandemic) but it was a great way to end our season.

Congratulations Anna and Alex!

Family Farm Wedding Portraits in Suffolk Virginia :Rebecca & Josh

A Suffolk Virginia Family Cotton Farm Bridal gallery

It seems to be a common theme, Covid pushing back another wedding. Luckily these two took a modern approach to their pandemic dilemma. When the news hit that their June date was a no go for their big dream wedding, they threw together an intimate family and friends ceremony in her moms back yard.

Fast forward to their rescheduled wedding date which was this October. Yet again, covid struck so the couple decided to throw on their best outfits and meet out on Josh’s parents Cotton farm. Their bridal portraits could not be anymore gorgeous! Thank y’all for fueling my farm loving soul!
