What a great lake wedding this was with a truly gorgeous ceremony setting on a Smith Mountain Lake point that was perfect in every way. I loved the details everywhere and it’s so nice to have that casual and comfortable feel that comes with a family home wedding. Although there was a flirt with the late afternoon thunderstorm it glided by at a sufficient distance so that everything remained outside. And we got beautiful photos of everything up through the ceremony with that perfect combo of tree dappled afternoon light and warm reflected light from the water.

It was a great ceremony, too, with lots of laughter from a couple that is quick to enjoy a little humor that is a welcome aside during any wedding. I love it when people just make up their minds to enjoy the day and be themselves.

And one detail that I have to point out were the miniature pies. Nice little touch there. Putting that one on my list of faves. 

Here’s to another gorgeous summer 2014 wedding with Amber and Brian and their family and friends. Thanks for having me as a part of your day.
