Ashley and Will were married in a lovely outdoor ceremony at the scenic Belmont Country Club in Ashburn, VA. The day was breezy and almost warm, hinting of spring on a late March afternoon. Belmont has lots of indoor space with great light for photos and I always enjoy photographing weddings at the mansion. Ashley was a simply stunning bride and it was a joy to work with her and all her sweet bridesmaids. Being trusted to capture wedding day memories is always an honor. Family and so many friends were on hand to celebrate what was most important about the day – Ashley and Will are married! Congratulations you two!
This may be one of the most personalized details I’ve seen – custom champaign glasses for all the bridesmaids. Each glass was hand-painted with the style of dress that bridesmaid wore. Aren’t they adorable!?
Ashley and Will chose to have a reveal and see each other before the ceremony. This enabled us to take all the portraits and family formal pictures before the ceremony so the couple could join the cocktail hour immediately after the wedding ceremony.
