Belle Garden Estate | VA Wedding Photographer | Laura & Austin

Laura and Austin’s wedding day was a beautiful celebration full of love. Their Belle Garden Estate wedding was filled with magic from start to finish. Every detail of the day was thoughtfully chosen to reflect the couple's style and personality. The estate’s charm and picturesque landscape set the perfect scene for their special day.

Laura began the day with her bridesmaids getting ready. Her hair was done by Megan Lorson. Shout out to her! The bridesmaids and bride held bouquets of soft pinks, purples and blue accents.

The Belle Garden Estate wedding ceremony took place in the estate's stunning outdoor space, where Laura and Austin exchanged vows beneath a beautifully decorated arbor. Surrounded by family and friends, their love for each other was evident in every glance. And the atmosphere was filled with joy. It was a truly unforgettable moment, with the couple radiating happiness as they began their lifelong journey together.

The bridal party was so excited for Laura and Austin!  The bridesmaids were in elegant blush gowns and the groomsmen looked dashing in coordinated suits. I captured every emotion from the intimate moments to the laughter-filled portraits.

Rain on the wedding day is said to bring good luck. Despite the unpredictable weather, Laura and Austin enjoyed their Belle Garden Estate wedding. They shared a sweet kiss under an umbrella with the raindrops adding an extra layer of romance to their wedding portraits. This moment was a highlight and such a fun memory to capture.  

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a lovely reception. The night was capped off with a cake cutting. The cake was beautifully decorated by Blush Baking Company. 

Included are some additional bride and groom photos we captured a couple of weeks later, on a warm and sunny day.  

Laura and Austin’s Belle Garden Estate wedding perfectly blended rustic charm and romantic gardens. We wish the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness, love, and adventure. Congratulations Laura and Austin!
