Today I’m thrilled to share more photos from Rachel and Brian’s wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor. These two actually got married last summer during an intimate wedding in Shenandoah National Park with immediate family. When covid caused them to reschedule their original wedding date, they decided to still get married as planned and have the big celebration this year. Being part of both celebrations was a huge honor!
Their special day earlier this month at Raspberry Plain Manor in Leesburg, Virginia, was worth the wait. After a first look in the garden, Rachel and Brian renewed their vows during a meaningful ceremony. With a view overlooking rolling hills, it was beautiful, to say the least. Their siblings, Amy and Alexandra, did a wonderful job officiating. They actually officiated their microwedding in Shenandoah, so it was fitting to have them officiate their vow renewal ceremony as well.
The reception was filled with lots of love and laughter. From their unforgettable first dance, to the toasts, dancing and final sparkler exit, each event was memorable. So many thoughtful details were also included in the day. The bride, Rachel, hand-lettered the many signs including the seating chart. She also 3D printed and hand-lettered the table numbers and guest name cards. Each guest was able to take their name home as a favor! Rachel was so kind to even make one for myself and my second photographer. So thoughtful!
Congratulations again, Rachel and Brian! I have loved working with you over the past couple of years, and I’m thrilled you finally got the beautiful day you imagined. Wishing you all the best!!
