Sylvanside Farm wedding venue: Purcellville VA wedding photographer: Amanda & Ryan

Happy April! No jokes today just a fun and gorgeous Sylvanside Farm wedding from last spring. We are living is such a strange time, with lots of time at home. Lucky for me, home is also work, and work that I love! So because all of the spring 2020 weddings have been pushed to later in the year, I’m able to highlight the weddings from the last year or so that didn’t get all the attention they should have.

First up is Amanda & Ryan’s lighthearted wedding at Sylvanside Farm. These two tied the knot last spring on May 4th. It was a beautiful day filled a landscape of blooming flowers, green trees, a gorgeous pastures. They had their first look on the sweet little dock surrounded by their wedding party. I thought that was so fun because they were far enough away to share an intimate moment together but also share the scene with their loved ones. The ceremony took place in the orchard, complete with a wine ceremony and special music. And lovely little moments captured of Amanda & Ryan as they changed vows. There is so much love and joy on their faces throughout the entire ceremony.

But the party really got started when we headed to the reception in the poplar barn. Where they celebrated their new marital status as Mr. & Mrs. with their family and friends. The first dance was one of a kind, they embraced the “force” completely with lightsabers. And they even brought local ice cream in for a special treat.

Congrats to Amanda & Ryan, they are about to celebrate year one of marriage coming up in May, and I was so beyond thrilled to have had the opportunity to capture this special chapter of their love story.
