If this pretty, sentimental First Wedding Anniversary session doesn't tug at your heart strings, I don't know what will.
When Christina & Dylan got married, they couldn't fit a photographer into their wedding budget. Their first wedding anniversary gave them the perfect chance to document their vintage style & playful relationship. Enter the great Lauren of Lauren D. Rogers Photography & the rest is beautiful history.
The Staunton, Virginia train station not only provided vintage charm, it had deeply rooted meaning in the couple's relationship. Christina & Dylan's love story began when Christina kindly offered to pick up a fellow college student's brother, Dylan, from the train station. Sparks flew!!! Soon, Christina & Dylan were logging in many hours at the train station as they traveled back & forth to see each other. Now it holds an extra special place in their hearts as the location of their first wedding anniversary session!
I can feel & see the genuine love between Christina & Dylan in every single photo. Honestly, I got a little sad thinking about this great couple having no professional photos of their wedding day. But the more & more I look at these anniversary photos, the more I realize they have everything they need right here- a real & true documentation of their love story.
Happy First Anniversary, Christina & Dylan! Cheers to many, many more!

What do you get when you combine a lovely Bride wearing a Nicole Miller beauty, a sunny lakeside location & a dessert reception? Yes, you read that correctly- a dessert reception of cake & pie!!!! Cake AND pie. Well, it's a wedding dream come true. Let's enjoy the gorgeous photos from Lauren D. Rogers Photography:
Abigail & Bradley set out to plan an intimate wedding with a fun, casual vibe. They chose Clayton State Park, a picturesque waterfront location, for their ceremony & reception. Their spring wedding day dawned sunny, bright & beautiful.
The pretty Bride wore a charming Nicole Miller gown & carried a sweet bouquet of white peonies accented with blue flowers.
The Bride & Groom said "I Do" in a personal, interfaith ceremony in a lakeside gazebo surrounded by their nearest & dearest. The Father of the Groom played traditional Southern fiddle music as the couple walked down the aisle together. They stood under a huppah made from the tallish of two good friends & held by other close friends. After the stomping of the glass, it was time to celebrate the new Mr. & Mrs.!
The wedding guests were treated to a dessert reception of wedding cake & various pies. This is a wonderful, budget-friendly idea!! Just imagine those lucky guests sampling delicious pies, enjoying the stunning lake views & wishing the happy couple the very best. Like I said before, it's a wedding dream come true.
Congratulations, Abigail & Bradley!
VENDOR LOVE
