THE INN AT VINT HILL | WARRENTON, VIRGINIA
Kristen and Mat’s wedding set a record for me… a HUGE bridal party. TWELVE bridesmaids and TWELVE groomsmen!! That’s a big bridal party, y’all! BUT it was a blast! They were one of the easiest bridal parties to work with! Everyone was so fun and excited to celebrate Kristen and Mat! One of the bridesmaids is my good friend from college and I had met a few of the other bridesmaids before so it was nice to see everyone again! After the ceremony, the weather radar was showing rain and we managed to get ALL of our photos done JUST IN TIME! We had finished up the last bride and groom portrait when the rain started to fall! Instead of a formal dinner, they had a buffet full of appetizers! Crab dip anyone? and instead of cake, they had a pie table!! These guys had a rockin’ reception! EVERYONE danced and you could tell that they were all having a BLAST (just wait until you see the pictures!). It was so much fun to photograph!! (and dance a little bit too!) The DJ rocked the tent!
Kristen and Mat’s wedding bands incorporated their love of the British TV show, Dr. Who.I LOVE her beaded belt!Kristen gave all of her bridesmaids a cute necklace!
The beginning of many wedding day selfies…
Another Dr. Who touch in Mat’s blue TARDIS cufflinks!And that’s what 12 groomsmen looks like…Wedding date!
The girls blocking the way to make sure Mat hides before Kristen comes through!
One of the bridesmaids mothers HAND-STITCHED the monogram shirts!
The execution of taking this photo was actually really entertaining. We told Mat that he had to keep looking UP as to not see Kristen below! I think he nailed it!The girls!!!!Here I am in action!! (thanks for snapping this, Clara!) I like to show sneak peeks along the way to show everyone how great they’re doing!
I love Kristen’s smile!!!Kristen with her mom and sister!Lookin’ snazzy gentlemen!Mat and his brother, the best man!How cute is this sign?A happy groom waiting for his bride!!
The expressions in this photo are half me saying “let’s get excited” and actual genuine happiness seeing the waiter walking over with food and drinks. (I released them for snacks (risky, I know) and then gathered them back up for a few final photos!
EPIC.
My favorite!I love the photos with happy smiles!
A photo from their engagement session that I took last Fall! Mat had curly hair at the time!
One of the bridesmaids wrote that! Epic chalk skills.The epic tent that keeps us dry!It’s not a wedding until you whip & nae nae.This was a result of a backstreet boy jam sesh!
The grand finale!
Congratulations Kristen & Mat!!!
