April and Tom searched for a picture perfect, budget friendly wedding venue – and they found it in Stoneleigh Golf in Country Club. A little past Leesburg, VA, Stoneleigh offers rustic barns, and mountain top views along with a private courtyard for the wedding ceremony and tented reception. I was thrilled April discovered this gem, because I knew she’d thought about pictures when selecting the site. 🙂
The wedding had so many DIY personal touches and fun details provided by April’s talented sisters (with help from their families). I’ve known April, her sister Lauren and her Mom for a few years, so it was fun to meet the rest of the sisters I’ve heard so much about. Those ladies know how to work hard and play hard! It was a joy to witness their love and support for April and Tom as they begin their lives as husband and wife. Congratulations you two!
The beautiful bride with flowers by James Cox, a man whose passion is to create beauty with flowers to make brides happy. He certainly did!
The bride’s sisters were behind the wedding decor and all the DIY projects. They did a fabulous job making the spaces personal and festive!
The reveal!
Stonleigh Golf and Country Club provides golf carts so we can use the beautiful grounds and views for pictures.

When I’m photographing children, I often wonder what the parents are doing behind me to illicit smiles. Now we know! 🙂
The table letters are from a wall collection belonging to the mother of the bride. Letters that she collected over the years and the girls have many memories of playing wall scrabble with them. (This is the kids table.)
The cake topper was on the bride’s parent’s cake. And the cupcakes are from the brides favorite, Georgetown Cupcake.
Kids of all ages had a fabulous time!
