Powder Blue Spring Wedding at Eden Try Anna + Chris | Fredericksburg, VA

Weddings

I remember my first meeting with Anna in a coffee shop in downtown Fredericksburg. She told me all about her wedding day plans, how she met Chris and how excited she was for the big day. Then, last year, I met her sweet momma (who is an AMAZING florist!!) while working a wedding together. I’ve been DYING to photograph these two and their big day ever since!

These two met at work (they both work at Sherwin-Williams – so many funny jokes about this during speeches!!) and Chris’s sweet proposal just melts my heart. Family is something that is very important to both Anna and Chris, so Chris proposed on their annual family trip to the beach – with Anna’s entire family there! After the proposal on the beach, they walked back inside to find their family surprising them with an engagement party. So SWEET!!! They have built a beautiful relationship on their foundation of faith and selflessness – and it is so wonderful to witness.

This wedding kicked off my spring season with the most gorgeous weather – 70 and sunny the entire day! We were SPOILED with gorgeous blooms and such a fun, easy-going morning…I just loved it! AND, the entire wedding was my favorite color…it can’t get much better than that 🙂

Anna and Chris, I hope you enjoy some of my favorites! Capturing your wedding day was such an honor and I am so thankful to know you both. XOXO!
