Laura + Winfield | A Classic Williamsburg Winery Wedding

Even though we got to know Laura and Winfield during their engagement session, there is always something about the wedding day that spindles all of that knowledge and weaves it into something timeless.

With wax seals, shades of ivory, blue toile, and THE Bruton Parish in Colonial Williamsburg, you have the setting for one memorable, classic wedding day. But beyond the visuals, the emotional strings were strummed. When you can feel the joy around, there's some serious potential for some happy tears. :) When Winfield saw Laura for the first time during their first look... well, the whole bridal party predicted what would happen, and it did. ;)

The way these two cherish each other is evident in every word exchanged. The speeches, the vows, and the witty remarks. You couldn't help but have that feel-good-kinda feeling. With family and friends attending from all over, this was a day for the (personal) history books.

And as Laura once wrote to me in an email, "I can't wait for him to be my Mister!" And it makes me smile all big because... yay, Laura! He is finally your Mister! Hope you two have a fabulous tropical honeymoon!














Many thanks go to Meagan and Jessica for helping me make Laura and Winfield's wedding day story through their lenses and extra hands. And a big thanks to Williamsburg Winery, Events in Bloom, Carrot Tree Kitchens, The Catering Company, and In Full for creating the visual and audio aspects to their perfect story!

Stay tuned to Facebook for a more complete visual story of the entire wedding day after the bride and groom have had their Grand Unveiling! :)

Heath + Bethany | Williamsburg Portrait Photography

Before I moved back home to Virginia, I lived in Boston for two years, and I met some amazing people. ♥ I LOVED Boston. Everything about that city spoke to me, the girl who was born 200 years late. The food, the places, the history... and of course, the people.

I was the service coordinator for the 20-somethings group at my church for a good majority of my living there, so that facilitated some friendships. Heath was one of them! He was like the big brother I never had and always was ready to serve and help out when asked. When I had to fly into Providence, RI, he and my Boston BFF Corin drove all the way to Providence to come pick me up. It's stuff like that that imprints into your good memories. Oh, and he can cook, too. Like really well. I've already challenged him to make some outstanding gluten-free food when I'm up in Boston again. haha

So when Heath said he was spending Christmas in my neck of the woods with his special lady, I was really excited to see him and get to meet Bethany (who was unbelievably nice and is becoming a TEACHER, too!)! He wanted to surprise her... and so we played co-conspirators by way of flowers and photos. It was kind of fun being all sneaky-sneaky.

It was the same rainy day as the Williamsburg Wreaths craziness, but we rocked it out nonetheless with some overhangs and umbrellas.
