AnnaLeah & Jeff's Wedding

AnnaLeah and Jeff's wedding fell on a beautiful, crisp, fall day in mid-November. The ceremony and reception were both held at a lovely venue in New Kent with character and charm. The actual ceremony was held outside and the cocktail hour and dinner were held in barns on the property. 

I was excited to grab a prime end-of-the-row seat for taking photos.

I loved the wedding colors AND the cowboy boots!
Glowing AnnaLeah and her Dad
The ceremony was short but oh so very sweet. Their faith in God and love for each other was evident to all who gathered to share in this special day. They honored each other with vows that each had written for the other. Each of theirs brought tears to our eyes and made us laugh out loud.
Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Wiggins!
Now on to the after party and celebration. As you can see, they even had a fire pit out behind the barn!
While the bridal party was taking photos, we enjoyed taking some of our own with AnnaLeah's homemade props and around the property...

AnnaLeah is an art teacher and her creative touches were evident throughout the entire day.

The big barn doors opened for the bridal party's entrance.

The wedding was extra fun sharing it with neighbors (both current and past). We had a blast celebrating with friends who we've known for 20+ years.
What would a bonfire outside be without s'mores? What a clever favor!

Time to send off the newlyweds and wish them well for a wonderful life together...
An especially beautiful and fun wedding!
