One of the most delightful parts of my job is following the journey’s and successes of our Golden Horseshoe couples beyond their wedding days. If you follow our blog (or have our brochure, on which beautiful Diana is our cover model!) you might recognize this dynamic duo (almost a trio!). I have had the honor […]
“Have you ever been to Louisiana?” the father of the bride asked me with a grin. He then proceeded to scroll through his camera roll, and pop up a video from the dashboard of his truck as it slowly made its way down a snow covered road. To say that everything came together in the […]
I was so excited to meet our Bride Isabelle (and her sweet groom Charles too!). Isabelle and Charles booked their elopement with us from afar, and we didn’t get to officially meet in person until their wedding day. We planned details back and forth over email, and during the process I felt like we were […]
Kendra and Christopher were married amidst a snowy winter wonderland in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains. Their Golden Horseshoe elopement was simply magical, and the joy that filled our venue that day was simply unforgettable! Boy, do these two know how to light up a room! My cheeks practically hurt from smiling so much, as […]
We were so thrilled to begin our 2021 wedding season on Saturday, January 2 with the most incredible day for the most incredible bride and groom. After navigating the twists and turns of trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic, our bride Trisha and her groom Oliver decided to switch gears from their original […]
It has certainly been an unforgettable year. And we closed it out with an unforgettable couple! Elisabeth and Jeremy shared their wedding day with us on December 13, 2020. Our bride and groom choose to hold a very intimate, private ceremony for their family of 5. Elisabeth began the day with hair and makeup in […]
Sometimes a bride has so much on her mind we have to remind her to smile – but not our beautiful bride Kylie – I know her cheeks must be tired now from all the smiling she did on her wedding day:-) It was a true delight to share a day with a couple as sweet […]
Our bride Emily looked like she stepped straight out of a fairytale, and her handsome groom David was such fun to be around. This laid back couple chose a classic color scheme of Navy Blue with pops of Red, perfect colors for their December wedding day. Adorable flower girls, hot cocoa for guests as they arrived, […]
Sierra and Jamal celebrated their wedding day on a beautiful December afternoon. After a cozy fireside ceremony, they adventured with us to Skyline Drive, where we were greeted by the most beautiful winter sky – and also an owl!!! Enjoy a sneak peek into Sierra and Jamal’s beautiful wedding day… Congratulations to the new Mr. […]
Are you ready for a dose of holiday cheer? We were cheering when we found out how much Angela and Michael love Christmas. They gave us full rein when it came to decorating for their romantic December elopement, and so we added Christmas touches to our hearts delight. This sweet and easygoing couple charmed us […]
Elizabeth and Michael and their darling little one spent a beautiful afternoon with us at the Golden Horseshoe Inn for their snowy January wedding day. Elizabeth brought a beautiful handmade fabric and wooden bouquet, that was the perfect compliment to her rustic country wedding style. After a cozy indoor ceremony, our bride and groom adventurously […]
James and Tiffany were planning to be married on 1.23.16 – the day a giant snowstorm was predicted here in Virginia (we ended up with over 2 feet of snow!). They made the practical decision to move their wedding ahead two days, so that guests could travel in safety to enjoy their wedding day! Our calm, […]
Vernell and Letitia were married on a beautiful December afternoon at the Golden Horseshoe Inn. After sharing an intimate ceremony surrounded by friends, we travelled to Skyline Drive for some beautiful photos and lots of laughs. Enjoy some favorite moments from this very special wedding day…
Stephanie and Joshua have an extra special wedding date: 12.13.14 and they were married at 3:16pm (or in military time 15:16pm) so their actual wedding date and time was 12.13.14 15:16 – kind of awesome, right?! Stephanie was a stunning bride – her gown was a vintage treasure that fit her perfectly straight off the […]
