I walked into Pippin Hill’s gorgeous bridal suite and was greeted with a high pitched “Aw, Hi!!!!!!!!” from Katelyn! Katelyn is one of those brides that just makes you feel like a million bucks first thing on a wedding day! I just love her! And after a few minutes hanging out with her sweet family and friends, I fell in love with them too! As the wedding day went on, I learned so much about Dan and Katelyn. I knew that they were high school sweethearts but I never would have guessed that Dan had long hair at one point! Or that they had a long distance relationship for quite some time.Toast after toast, story after story, I started to see just how amazing their relationship is. People flew in from all over the world to celebrate with Dan and Katelyn and it was beautiful from beginning to end!
Pippin Hill Farm is one of the most gorgeous venues in Charlottesville. The barn, the view, the ceremony location… it’s all stunning! As I was photographing the reception details before the ceremony, Katelyn leaned over the balcony from the bridal suite and commented on how gorgeous it looked. I stopped shooting, looked up at her and said “Katelyn, this is seriously a DREAM wedding!!!”. I meant every word. Their wedding day was so gorgeous and so perfect from beginning to end. I felt so honored to be a part of it! From the toasts to the dancing to the florals to their portraits… I was in heaven!!!
