An Intimate Outdoor Virginia Wedding with a Ceremony Tree Planting

Today's featured couple, Peggy and Nik, had a beautiful intimate outdoor wedding ceremony where they celebrated not only their love for each other, but their love for nature with about 50 guests. Their wedding was beautifully photographed by Crystal Image Photography. During the ceremony, they planted a tree to bring their passion for their outdoors into one of the most important days of their lives. They exchanged their vows they wrote for one another and then planted the tree they had picked out. Their wedding took place at The Mill at Fine Creek in Powhatan, Virginia with the reception being held in the on-site cottage. Along with cake for dessert - their guests were treated to cannolis and tarts piled high, followed by dancing.

A Hot Pink + Blue Arizona Wedding in the Middle of Thunderstorms

Today's featured wedding of Pam and Lanny {from Arkansas} took place in Sedona, Arizona at Cathedral Rock. The scenery at the ceremony site is absolutely breathtaking - which resulted in gorgeous photos from Taryn of Love My Life Photography. Even though mother nature had plans of her own - the couples joy and happiness never waivered. There was a severe thunderstorm before the ceremony, a severe thunderstorm warning during the ceremony, and buckets of rain poured down after the ceremony. There was a brief parting in the skies for the couple to be wed. After their ceremony - the couple enjoyed a romantic dinner at the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock.
