Confession: I always dreamed of having my wedding reception at an art gallery or museum. There is just something so elegant and sophisticated about celebrating a wedding surrounded by timeless paintings, sculptures and tapestries. After an afternoon of bow ties, lovely ladies in silk and lace dresses and a breathtaking church, I couldn’t think of a more fitting venue than the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to carry on Sara and Matt’s celebration. This wedding is the true definition of a traditional stunner with a big ol’ dose of take your breath away pretty.
Speaking of take your breath away pretty. Doesn’t the museum entrance make the perfect backdrop for this classy crew?!
John and I loved the bright, modern colors inside that set the tone perfectly for a night of dancing, fun and laughter.
Loved Sara and Matt’s grand entrance!
Matt’s mom was having the time of her life dancing with her son, but she did eventually hand him back over to his new bride.
I love how the youngest guests got the party started!
Sara’s father offered a heartfelt toast to the newly weds and even presented them with a very special Wedgwood gift from his personal collection.
A few of my favorites from taking Matt and Sara into the gallery…
We love a crowd that can cut a rug!
Sara and Matt: It was such an honor not only to share in your special day but to preserve it for you as well! I hope these memories live in your hearts forever because I know they will for us! We hope you had a fabulous time sailing around the Caribbean, and please drop us a line next time you decide to vacation out west!
Un abrazo fuerte,
Natalie
