Fall Colors Middleburg Virginia Wedding
Autumn is in full swing and that was never more apparent than with Sarah and Nate’s beautiful fall colors Middleburg Virginia wedding this past weekend!
Remember Them?
You might remember Sarah and Nate from their Willowcroft Winery surprise proposal last fall, but you will definitely remember their adorable pup, Maverick! It’s been just over a year since I had seen these two at their proposal photo session (where Maverick might have stolen the show), and it was so fun to be reunited at their gorgeous fall colors Middleburg Virginia wedding.
Serene Bride
One thing I picked up on about Sarah is that she is super thoughtful and has a vision – and the most wonderful part? She’s so serene about it. She didn’t seem stressed out at all on her wedding day; she planned so many beautiful details for her and Nate’s fall colors Middleburg Virginia wedding, and gave it over to the professionals to execute so she could enjoy their day. It was so fun to capture all the intentional, adorable details alongside the joy shared between Sarah, Nate, and their friends and family, and they all really made it so easy to do so.
A Few of My Fav Things
I always like to recount my favorite part from a wedding day, and from Sarah and Nate’s fall colors Middleburg Virginia wedding, there are so many! First, I have to give props to Sarah’s bridesmaids for creating such a fun atmosphere in the bridal suite. They hung banners and there were streamers in the doorways, so much bridal stuff, music playing, and lots of laughter. She was also joined by both her mom and Nate’s mom, which I thought was so sweet. Good energy in the bridal suite is always an indication of a fun day to follow!
Sarah and her dad’s first look was just the most precious thing! Her dad was so excited to see her and throughout the day it was evident he was so proud of his daughter. From there we prepared for the ceremony, which was set overlooking this beautiful field, just at the beginning of golden hour. My favorite part of the ceremony was that they had each of their mothers bring up the rings instead of the traditional best man handing them over. After Sarah’s mom handed her the ring, she gave Sarah an impromptu big hug, so of course Nate’s mom wanted to do the same. So sweet!
Another personal fav from Sarah and Nate’s fall colors Middleburg Virginia wedding was their portrait time. Fall is really the only time of year when most wedding days align portrait time with magic/golden hour. So, we got to do full wedding party and love bird portraits during magic hour, and this natural light loving photographer was in heaven! This was also the first time at a wedding where I got to use my new Canon R6 camera, so I was doubly excited for golden hour portrait time. Adding to my level of excitement was how adorable Sarah and Nate are in front of the camera! They had the best time snuggling up together in the cold and having fun with the poses.
Congratulations and best wishes to Nate and Sarah!
