Natasha and Jerry tied the knot last weekend and today I get to share some of my favorite photos from their Regency at Dominion Valley wedding with you!
Special Blog Post
I have to admit – I already had my blog schedule all set for the week, but when I saw how beautiful Natasha and Jerry’s Regency at Dominion Valley wedding was, I knew I wanted to share their photos right away! I added special spot for them at the end of the week so no one had to wait too long to see some of my fav photos from their big day!
Journey to the Altar
Natasha and Jerry met at a hospital in Seattle where they worked. After some long distanced time apart, their lives brought them to the Washington, D.C. area, where Jerry proposed. He pulled out all the stops for a super romantic proposal at the Tidal Basin during cherry blossoms season, so you know I think he’s a rockstar!
Come as You Are
Like many couples, these two love birds were excited to get married and didn’t want to put their marriage on hold, so they decided to go ahead with their celebration with the family and friends who were comfortable joining them. They hosted such a beautiful winter affair with their Regency at Dominion Valley wedding, with lots of wintery blues, icy whites, traditional evergreens, and warm candlelight.
Cup Runneth Over
One thing I could tell about these two is that they were so excited to get married! It was evident after meeting them for just a short time that they are both strong individuals who create such a sense of security and warmth when they’re together. My favorite part of the day was when we did their individual portraits and seeing how Natasha’s eyes went straight for Jerry when I asked her to smile. It’s as if she knew that laying eyes on him would definitely bring a smile to her face! And it did!
I always love when couples personalize their ceremony, and Natasha and Jerry did just that with their Regency at Dominion Valley wedding. They included several readings from their favorite authors and poets, including a reading from The Little Prince. I just love when couples do that because not only is it sweet to share a piece of themselves with their guests, it has to add an extra layer of sentimentality to the ceremony for the couple.
Congratulations and best wishes to Jerry and Natasha on your beautiful Regency at Dominion Valley wedding!
Major props to Natasha, who braved the below freezing temps with no coat for the majority of their portraits!
How fun is it that we still had snow on the ground?!
Jerry’s parents weren’t present, so he invited Natasha’s mom to dance at the end of the father-daughter dance. Cue the tears!
