West Manor Estate Wedding, Forest, VA: Heather+Ethan

west manor weddingsWest Manor is every photographer’s dream wedding venue! Located in Central Virginia, it offers a wide variety of backdrops for photos, and the inside of the estate is just as dreamy: lots of natural light coming in, and the bridal suite is one of the most beautiful getting ready rooms I’ve ever seen.

This past weekend we had the privilege of celebrating Heather and Ethan’s wedding at the West Manor Estate alongside family and friends! Heather is Tim’s cousin and it was such an honor to be trusted by her to document such a special time in her life, her wedding! Her now husband, Ethan, is one of the kindest and most respectful people I have ever met and we couldn’t be happier to have him be a part of our family!

Heather and Ethan, we wish you a life full of happiness and many blessings! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your beautiful West Manor wedding!

Heather’s beautiful bouquet was carefully crafted by Cheryl’s Secret Garden who did all the flower arrangements at the wedding!

There’s nothing sweeter than a father-daughter first-look! It simply melts my heart every single time!

I might be biased, but isn’t she the most gorgeous bride ever?!

This very last photo was a must! Ethan has been a firefighter with Lyn-Dan Heights Fire Department for years, so a fire truck photo of the beautiful couple was in order!
