Jing & Jeff’s Charlottesville Wedding at the Boar’s Head Inn with DIY Details!

Charlottesville VA Wedding Photographer

We recently posted Jing and Jeff’s romantic proposal story, and awhile back we shared their gorgeous Richmond engagement pictures, and now we are so excited to show you a sneak peek of their Charlottesville wedding! Their wedding was held at the Boar’s Head Inn, who not only provided an amazing setting, but they also catered, coordinated, and made the cake for the event. Jing and Jeff’s wedding was full of friends, family, and beautiful colors, with no shortage of amazing DIY wedding details. They had personalized salt and pepper shakers, a vibrant “Just Married” sign made out of hearts, and, my personal favorite, miniature paintings that served as the place cards. Each one was HAND PAINTED by Jing, members of the bridal party and one of Jing’s incredibly talented friends! I am in LOVE with each painting, and incredibly impressed with the innovative idea.

Even though the day was a little rainy, Jing embraced the wet weather and sported cute yellow, polka-dot rain boots (and even got Jeff to hold a bright pink umbrella!) while they took pictures outside. There is just something so awesome about a bride who wears rain boots! However, I was also a big fan of Jing’s sparkly purple Kate Spade wedding heels which she put on for the ceremony and reception. The reception was beautiful, from the pink and yellow lantern lights adorning the ceiling to the stunning flower arrangements on the tables from Sugar Magnolias. The groom’s cake was one of the most original we have come across, with the Boar’s Head’s pastry chef Erinn making a cake that looked like a Starbucks Coffee Cup! We loved everything about Jing and Jeff’s wedding, and there are many more of their wonderful wedding pictures to come, so be sure to keep an eye out!

Charlottesville Wedding Videos – Inspiration Shoot at Mount Ida Farm

We are so excited to share the wedding video we put together from a favorite inspiration shoot of ours at Mount Ida Farm! We wanted to showcase the beauty of Mount Ida, and let everyone see all of the unique things Mount Ida has to offer their couples. We were fortunate to collaborate with some amazing vendors, who made it a breeze! West Main Bridal clothed our models with gorgeous dresses, Amanda Gray of Ashley Baber Weddings coordinated and helped style the shoot and Blue Ridge Light Forms blew us out of the water with their amazing lighting setup under the gazebo and in the beautiful reception barn. Festive Fare and Couture Designs teamed up to create spectacular tablescapes for the reception, and Milicent got the most delicious cupcakes from Too Sweet Cupcake Boutique for everyone to enjoy after they played their part on the dessert table. There were so many terrific vendors who contributed, a huge thanks goes out to everyone! (There is a complete list of the vendors underneath the video).

The first day of shooting we concentrated on the gazebo and the fantastic stone staircase leading down to it. Our handsome models, Whitney and Logan, did a fabulous job of being in love and letting Aaron capture it on camera. Their love made the beauty of Mount Ida glow, figuratively and literally, as Amanda and Milicent lit hundreds of candles on the staircase for Whitney and Logan to stand amongst. We wanted everyone to get caught up in the romantic fairytale of a Mount Ida wedding, so we threw in a little twist and asked members of the Richmond Ballet to be models for the second day of shooting. Their grace and talent went perfectly with our fairytale theme! We are so in love with all the wedding pictures from this inspiration shoot which we have already shared, and we are very proud to show you more of this fabulous shoot through the video!

Love,

The Bridal Show and Aaron Watson Photography “Love” the T-Shirt Contest

We had a blast seeing everyone at the Omni Bridal Show on Sunday! It was so much fun walking around and checking out the amazing vendors in the Charlottesville Wedding Industry. We made sure to sample every bit of food we could (it was all delicious), and we loved watching the Fashion Show put on by Amanda’s Touch Bridal!
We had a ton of beautiful brides stop by our booth and chat with us, and a bunch of them put on our “Love” T-Shirt to enter the Aaron Watson Photography Facebook Contest! We took photos of each bride with her T-Shirt on and put the pictures in an album on Facebook. The bride with the most liked picture from the bridal show will get a FREE Engagement Session with Aaron and a 16×24 print of her favorite photo! Now all the brides are in the process of rallying their friends and families to go to the Aaron Watson Photography Facebook page and like their picture. Make sure you check it out! Feel free to join in and like a bride’s photo, she will definitely appreciate it!
Here is a picture of the Aaron Watson Photography crew with our booth. Please notice the gorgeous flowers provided by Hedge Fine Blooms, which added beauty to our booth, and smelled terrific! Also, big thanks to West Main Bridal for lending us one of their mannequins to model our “Love” t-shirt!
