This garden inspired wedding was a dream to photograph with soft colors and elegant details.
When it came time to plan their wedding, Ellie and Gavin knew they wanted a clean, timeless, and classic celebration surrounded by natural beauty. And Glencliff Manor in Rustburg, Virginia was the perfect spot for that!
The Wedding Day at Glencliff Manor
Glencliff Manor is known for its stunning grounds, and it was the perfect place for Gavin and Ellie to say “I do.” The ceremony was outdoors, surrounded by greenery and flowers. Guests sat beneath tall trees as Ellie walked down the aisle in her classic white gown. Just wait until you see Gavin’s face light up the moment he saw her! She looked absolutely beautiful!
Elegant Garden Details
Every detail of the day fit their vision for a clean, timeless, and elegant wedding. From the pastel bridesmaid dresses to the beautiful flower arrangements, everything looked like a garden dream. The reception space carried the same romantic style, with tables set under twinkling lights.
One of the most beautiful touches was the cake, decorated with fresh flowers to tie in the garden theme. Every part of the decor reflected their dream of a garden inspired wedding.
Celebrating with Family and Friends
After the ceremony, Ellie and Gavin spent the evening surrounded by the people they love most. They shared their first dance under string lights and the toasts from family and friends filled the reception with laughter and happy tears.
A Timeless Garden Wedding
Ellie and Gavin’s garden inspired wedding at Glencliff Manor was everything they hoped for. With the gardens as their backdrop and their closest friends and family by their side, their wedding day was a true reflection of their love story.
Why They Chose Alina Thomas Photography
Ellie and Gavin’s search for a photographer came full circle when they realized the Glencliff Manor images they kept pinning and saving were by Alina Thomas Photography. Ellie said:
I had gotten the folder from Glencliff Manor with some photography options and I was already leaning toward your style. Then when looking on Pinterest, TikTok, and Instagram for Glencliff photos, we kept coming across these gorgeous photos. I looked into the blog they were featured on, I recognized your name, but couldn’t quite place it at first. Later, I went back to the folder from Glencliff and realized it was you! We laughed when we saw that your photos were already all over our vision boards and Pinterest, so it felt like such a clear sign that you were the right choice!
How amazing is that? I love that they fell in love with my photos long before we even met!
Gavin and Ellie, it was such an honor to photograph your beautiful garden inspired wedding at Glencliff Manor. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
