Romantic Blush Wedding Day | Fredericksburg, Virginia Hope Taylor Workshop

For Photographers

The first day of the Hope Taylor Workshop last week (actually, the entire week, to be specific) was forecast to be 90% chance of heavy rain and storms. I prayed and prayed and prayed for a break in the rain just long enough to photograph the wedding day styled shoot…and the rain somehow COMPLETELY disappeared from the radar. I still have no idea how this happened, but God is so good!!! We pulled up to the Riddick House at Stevenson Ridge and my jaw completely dropped open. This styled shoot took my BREATH away and I’ve been just dying to share!!!

Caroline completely blew me out of the water with this one! Blush inspiration with fluffy flowers and soft, romantic details…I could barely stand it. So beautiful! AND, to top it off, former Miss Virginia and a former Abercrombie model were our bride and groom for the day (no, I’m not joking!!!) I photographed Katie + Paul’s rehearsal dinner + portraits last year and they came back to model for the day – and I love them for it!

THANK YOU times one million to all of the amazing vendors who put this shoot together (see below!!!) Enjoy all of my favorites (and sorry your hand will probably hurt from scrolling so long!) XO!
