Virginia Autumn Wedding Destinee and Jon 10.30.21

Destinee and Jonathan had a beautiful autumn wedding at the Golden Horseshoe Inn.  Their color palette of rust and cognac was perfectly in line with the beautiful changing leaves just outside the door.  Destinee and her mom and bridesmaids enjoyed a wonderful morning of pampering as they had their hair and makeup done in the bridal suite.  Destinee was a stunning bride, in her lace gown and romantic upswept hair.  The wedding deck looked perfectly festive, with the bare aisle lined with giant potted mums and pumpkins of all shapes and sizes.  After a very sweet first look with her father, Destinee made her way down the aisle, and took the breath away from all the assembled guests, and especially her handsome groom Jonanthan.  A lovely personal ceremony, conducted by friend of the couple Will, followed and we all breathed a sigh of relief as the weather held, and allowed time for everyone to enjoy the outdoors.  During cocktail hour, we snuck away with videographer Stephen, to Skyline Drive, where we danced in the rain, and Destinee and Jon amazed us with their can-do attitude, in the chilly drizzle…despite the rain, the leaves were putting on their best show for us, with peak fall color dazzling in the background of their pictures!  A lovely dinner, very sweet toasts, and a custom wedding cake that the couple provided themselves awaited us upon our return.  It was such a special day, for a truly wonderful pair, and we were so happy to share in the magic of this day.  I am so excited to reveal a few favorite images from Destinee and Jon’s gorgeous wedding day…

Congratulations to the newlyweds!
