Stephanie and Alex were married at the gorgeous Dellwood Plantation in Chesterfield, VA.  This venue is one of my favorites from the beautiful home on the property to the gorgeous gardens and open spaces.  So many wonderful options for portraits!  Stephanie and Alex shared a special first look before the ceremony and it could not of been more adorable! Their smiles were so big and the excitement for their ceremony was at an ultimate high!  During the first look we found out that Alex in fact was getting deployed on Tuesday! We wanted to ensure we got so many amazing portraits for them, especially for Stephanie to stare at and cherish while Alex is overseas.

Before the ceremony, the clouds rolled in! They were able to complete their ceremony and a few family portraits before the down pour! We had a break in the rain to make it into the tent for their awesome reception! About an hour or so in the craziest storm rolled through with rain, hail and wind gusts.  Stephanie, Alex and their guests made the best of the situation and still had an AMAZING time! 🙂  I loved working with these two and will be thinking of them often over the next months to come!

Stephanie and Alex, I wish you a lifetime of happiness! 🙂

A special thanks to the vendors of this gorgeous day!
