Alex and Kelsey's Wedding (Prince William Forest State Park, VA)

I traveled down to Virginia just outside of D.C. for Kelsey and Alex’s dreamy boho wedding at Prince William Forest State Park. Kelsey and Alex found me through their close friends Eryn and Donnie (see previous blog post for their Alabama wedding) and asked me to travel down for their celebrations in late October.

 

I traveled down to Virginia just outside of D.C. for Kelsey and Alex’s dreamy boho wedding at Prince William Forest State Park.

Kelsey and Alex found me through their close friends Eryn and Donnie (see previous blog post for their Alabama wedding) and asked me to travel down for their celebrations in late October. I packed up my sleeping bag, warm clothes, and bug spray and hopped on a flight. Kelsey and Alex were super laid back and fun, and although they offered to pay for a hotel room I opted to really ingrain myself in the experience and camped out in one of the cabins on site. It was such a fun experience and such a beautiful evening full of love and some of the most impressive dance moves I’ve yet to see (scroll down to see Kelsey and Alex breaking it down to Beyoncé). Congratulations, Kelsey and Alex!

Eryn and Donnie's Wedding (Huntsville, Alabama)

My very first destination wedding took place in Huntsville, Alabama with one of my favorite couples, Eryn and Donnie. The wedding venue was Lowe Mill ARTS and Entertainment and the industrial, artsy space was beautifully decorated and designed by Eryn.

After photographing their engagement session in NYC, I knew Eryn and Donnie’s wedding would be a fun one. These two are some of the most fun, laid back, kind people I’ve ever met and they made me feel like a guest at their wedding. The wedding was at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment in Huntsville, Alabama which made it even more of a uniquely fun adventure for me. It was my first time in Alabama!

The wedding was unique to the couple with lots of personal touches and tributes to loved ones who had passed, and it was beautifully decorated with a boho vibe by Eryn and her mom. There were wheels of cheese instead of a cake (honestly, I might steal this idea for my own wedding. What’s better than cheese?) and a whole bunch of homemade pies for dessert (baked by Eryn’s sister if I remember correctly). Such a fun night with great people. Congratulations, Eryn & Donnie!
