This weekend I traveled to the beautiful wine region of Virginia for the sweet farmhouse wedding of Elly and Jon. It was everything you could ask for a small country wedding, and then some. The couple are very accomplished in life, but were an incredibly laid back bride and groom. They wanted to surround themselves and spend time with their families and friends, and everything else was extra. They weren’t the type for a dramatic reveal so we traipsed around the farmhouse prior to the ceremony for portraits which is always a great way to make sure you can spend every moment of that cocktail hour with loved ones. The rest of the day was a blast, soundtracked by a talented bluegrass band and punctuated with a gorgeous sunset and heartfelt speeches, poetry, and good food. Congratulations to the happy pair, and may you continue to do so much good and activism in the world, stronger together!
