Virginia Wedding Inspiration- El Fresco Charm

Styled shoots are a creative way for photographers, stylists, and other wedding pros, to show off their visions and to inspire readers for their own wedding planning.

Today’s featured shoot, part 1 of 2, is a focus on the charm of an el fresco wedding ceremony with seriously elegant details, and was the vision of Engagements RVA staged at Historic Leafwood in Saluda, Virginia.

Be sure to check back next week to see the reception details!

What we love:

The organic, natural surroundings of this venue, is just perfect for an outdoor wedding, with the beautiful arbor and giant old trees.

The romantic setting as the bride prepares for her big day in the circa 1783 southern manor, penning a note to her beloved at an antique desk adds to the  southern traditions.

Then, the bride to be, walks out the door to a mix of magnolia swags, and roses.

Swoon worthy!
