Garden Wedding Reception: Hunter+Karen

bride and groom walking at their garden weddingHunter and Karen had a gorgeous garden wedding reception and ceremony at Glencliff Manor! I had been looking forward to their wedding for the past few months because, after photographing their engagement session, I knew their wedding was going to be absolutely amazing. And it truly was a special celebration! Their family and friends all gathered together at the beautiful Glencliff Manor in Rustburg to celebrate Hunter and Karen’s big day.

What I love the most about Glencliff Manor is that it is the perfect venue for an intimate garden wedding reception. The english moss and the outdoor lights hanging from the trees make this Virginia wedding venue a dream location for brides who love outdoor weddings. Just take a look at this gorgeous ceremony site below and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about!

Although it was sunny for the most part, the clouds let in some rain during the reception. Thankfully, it stayed clear during the ceremony and the photos following. The rain, however, did not dampen the love and joy of this sweet couple. They embraced it and made the best of it!

Hunter and Karen, no one deserves this perfect day more than the two of you! I am so honored to have been able to document your first day as husband and wife. Thank you for being so amazing to work with! Wishing you both a marriage even more beautiful than your wedding!
