Inn at Mount Vernon Farm Wedding: Kristie + Don

Incorporating many facets of their families’ pasts and their own personal relationship, Don and Kristie’s wedding day was filled with nostalgia and sweet sentiments at every turn.  Kristie chose to wear her mother’s wedding dress, altered to fit her perfectly.  And Don’s wedding ring belonged to his late grandfather.  Inside is inscribed with his grandparents’ initials and their wedding date in November of 1952, and now it is also inscribed with his and Kristie’s initials and wedding date.  Don’s father was their officiant, and Kristie walked down the aisle to music by her late grandfather.  Their toasting glasses were the same ones used by Kristie’s parents, and are now inscribed with both couples’ names.

There were so many more personal touches that made this day absolutely beautiful and special, but they pale in comparison to the beautiful love Don and Kristie share.  It was such a joy and a pleasure to get to know them and to document their incredible day.

Kristie’s mom was her Matron of Honor, and I love this moment they share after her mom fastens her into the dress she once wore.

It was crazy windy that day, but that bodes well for a beautiful long veil.

Their wedding at The Inn at Mount Vernon Farm – nestled in the foothills of the Shenandoah mountains – was a perfect location for this couple who first met in a Meetup backpacking group and love hiking together.

The Cutest. Flower Girls. Ever!

Kristie and her mom collected mismatched china for over a year to create these beautiful place settings and tablescapes for their nearly 200 guests.

Kristie and Don choreographed the most darling first dance I’ve ever seen!

I was absolutely in LOVE with their invitations.  Beautiful!

Kristie and Don, enjoy your THREE WEEKS in Thailand!  It’s well deserved!!
