Audrey and David wanted to plan a simple yet special wedding day, filled with rustic touches and great friends, and they certainly succeeded on both accounts! This sweet couple chose a neutral color scheme of Cappucinno and Ivory, with some lovely hunter green and pale pink accents tucked here and there, to achieve a beautiful […]
Take my hand, will you share this with me, because darling without you, all the shine of a thousand spotlights, all the stars we steal from the night sky, will never be enough… This is such an exciting post to share! Our very first wedding of 2021. We’ve been hosting wonderful elopements during the past […]
We got to celebrate such a special day with Teri-Jo and Joel for their gorgeous April elopement. When Teri-Jo sent me a photo of her Skeleton Wedding Sign, to help me get a sense of their style, I knew this was going to be a very fun and unique event! Dark colors of black and […]
I’m not even sure where to begin, describing such a special day! We simply had no idea what was in store for us before we met Barbara and Allan on the morning of their beautiful wedding day. They are the most gorgeous, sweet and easy going couple. Photographing them was a dream come true, and […]
We closed out the month of March with a breathtakingly beautiful Virginia elopement. Our bride Kimberly and her groom Woodrow were so much fun to work with. Planning with us long distance, they chose a color scheme of burgundy and blush, with a few gold accents tucked here and there, like their beautiful cake topper, […]
Our sweet bride Melissa and her handsome groom Marcus have known each other since middle school! They dated all through high school and now, 8 years later, we were so thrilled to be hosting their intimate wedding day! We planned exclusively online, which meant that our first time meeting this wonderful couple was on their […]
Suzie and Wallace had a really big day…they were married at the Golden Horseshoe Inn in the morning and closed on their first home in the afternoon.

Shiyang and Weijie were married on a beautiful summer day at the Golden Horseshoe Inn. A wedding arch dripping in white blossoms framed their ceremony beautifully. Shiyang looked truly stunning in her gorgeous gown, trimmed with a sparkling sash and flowy veil. The parents of the bride and groom travelled all the way from China to be […]
MaryAnn and Charles were married on a beautiful summer morning (to beat that July heat!) on July 17, 2015. They were surrounded by their family as they walked hand in hand down the aisle and exchanged their wedding vows. We are always especially excited to host the wedding of a local couple, and wish these […]
Morgan and Michael were married at the Golden Horseshoe Inn on July 12, 2015. We spent some happy moments in the bridal suite beforehand, recreating a wedding photo from this family’s past generations, and then moved outside for an intimate wedding ceremony. We travelled to Skyline Drive for a wonderful photo shoot – and I […]
We joked that Fiori and Stanley had ALL the weather on their wedding day! A rainy dawn turned into a very magical and misty morning on Skyline Drive, and then the sun greeted us so we could adventure cliffside for some fun photos. Fiori looked like a storybook princess in her tea length gown. And Stanley’s […]
Jojo and Sonny love the Fourth of July and made the impromptu decision that it would be the perfect day to get married! We were able to help them plan a wonderful day including a private ceremony at the Golden Horseshoe Inn, followed by a photo shoot on Skyline Drive. It was a joy to spend time […]
In my very early wedding planning notes for Annika and Chris’s Vow Renewal, I had written down the words “lush and romantic” and to say that Annika achieved that look, would be something of an understatement – this is truly one of the most beautiful weddings we have ever hosted. Annika looked like she had […]
Stephanie and George were married at the Golden Horseshoe Inn on May 16, 2015. Romantic touches of pink and silver adorned their ceremony and reception décor. They were surrounded by good friends and loving family as they said their vows, and even a post ceremony rainshower couldn’t dampen the celebration. Enjoy some photos from this […]
Mitra and Michael joined us on a beautiful Saturday morning for their Skyline Drive elopement ceremony. Mitra’s handmade bouquet was dramatic and beautiful, and our adventurous bride (with the help of her dashing groom) climbed down to a wonderful overlook for her post wedding photo shoot – in heels no less! We were fortunate to spend […]
Caroline and Brendan were surrounded by their loved ones on May 23 as they celebrated their marriage at the Golden Horseshoe Inn.
