I was down in Charlottesville last week for LOOK3 (photo nerd alert!), so Rachel and Dane and I thought it would be a swell time to fit in their engagement photo shoot. These two love birds are getting married on down in Lynchburg later on this year, at what should be the very height of fall colors (fingers crossed!). Last week, though, we braved the heat and skipped around Lynchburg’s really very pretty historic downtown area. And then we did trespassing and Dane found a tick on him, which embarrassed me more than when my car had a flat tire and he changed it for me. It was quite a day, all told. Rachel and Dane:
It takes something most don’t possess to turn a big ol’ field in the middle of the country into a ridiculously beautiful wedding venue. But that’s what Kate and Daniel and their families and friends did to the field of their very generous friends. Way out where no one could hear them, they tied the knot, then partied under the big stars. And the cicadas even left them alone, mostly. I’m about to make you jealous you didn’t get married here:
Margaret and John were married in the quiet, pretty courtyard at the Old Town Alexandria courthouse, right in the midst of downtown with its cobblestones and brick and very nice light. We traipsed around a couple of blocks and hit up the sweet cobblestones on Prince Street near the water. And hey – that chalk heart was still there!
