James + Maggie

A Winter Pippin Hill Farm Wedding in Charlottesville, VA

filed in:

I have always loved having at least one or two weddings during the off season! It’s such a great way to ease into a new season without diving in head first, weekend after weekend! James and Maggie’s wedding was such a peaceful, laid back day!! They were married at Pippin Hill Farm, one of our favorite Charlottesville venues!! Not only were we working with one of our favorite venues, we were also working with two of our dearest friends the entire day!! It’s always a fun day when we get to work with Tyler and Ashley Herrinton!!

One of my favorite moments of the entire day was watching Maggie read her letter from James just moments before the first look. James reminded her of all of ways that she has made him a better man and how much he adores her. She fought back the tears but it was a tough battle. She was about to see him for the first time and their wedding day was beginning!! They’ve been looking forward to this day for years and it was finally here! Their family and friends arrived at Pippin Hill right as the sun was beginning to dip behind the mountain. The ceremony ended at dusk and the party began!

I absolutely loved their decor and details! The had antique ladders suspended from the ceiling that were draped in florals. Pippin Hill is gorgeous on its’ own but after Maggie and her mom added their touch, it was just STUNNING! I loved getting to know their sweet families and celebrating alongside of them. We’re getting close to the beginning of our busy season and this was such a perfect way to get back into the swing of things!! Enjoy this incredible Pippin Hill Farm Wedding!!!!!!
