A Peach, Purple and Gold Mansion Wedding at a Historic Venue in Virginia

Today's couple, Bailey and Ron, married on September 7th, 2013 - this is the same month and day that my hubby and myself married. So, when Bailey and Ron celebrate their first wedding anniversary this year, my hubby and I will be celebrating our 12th anniversary. Wow! Bailey and Ron were married under a large willow tree in front of the Woodlawn Mansion {which is a gorgeous historic venue in Virginia}. As each guest entered the wedding, they were welcomed by a table with some trinkets including a globe and a container of corks for the guests to sign. One of my favorite touches was the couples initials created with the favors which were jars of crab salt. Another cute idea is with the big basket of flip flops for dancing in - but the sign is the best part . . . "Help yourself to a pair of dancing shoes and leave your excuses under the table. Love R and B".

An Elegant Outdoor Purple Wedding of two police officers in Virginia

Today's wedding features the love of Amanda and Sean, both police officers who have now relocated back to the DC metro area, where they originally met while on a temporary job. Three and half years later after a lot of long distance dating, they are now married. Their photographer, Mindy of Ever After Visuals writes . . . "Because of the type of work they do, these two live life to the fullest and treasure each moment - this was clearly evident in their personal vows."

Real Wedding : droplets of love in turquoise + black in West Virginia

You are going to LOVE today's wedding of Amanda and Cameron - just wait until you see the last few photos, they truly are works of art. So please be sure to scroll down to see them. I know you are going to say OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! And, of course there's many other amazing photos along the way - the brides black shoes with the pop of turquoise, the detailed beading on her dress - oh, and we can't forget the brides nails that match her wedding colors :) Photography is by Ever After Visuals and the wedding was held at the local firehall.

And, now it's time for Amanda {aka Mandy} and Cameron to meet for the first time on their wedding day :)

I'd definitely say that the mother and daughter team {Mindy and Joriana} of Ever After Visuals made the best out of the rainy day. Aren't the two photos above amazing?
