Elegant Raspberry Plain Christmas Wedding | Andrea and Chris
Andrea and Chris said “I Do” on the most beautiful December day at the Raspberry Plain Manor in Leesburg, VA. Their elegant Christmas themed wedding was filled with the most beautiful décor, traditional colors of red and green, and so much joy.
When I first talked to Andrea and Chris, I knew we’d be the perfect fit, because when they started telling me about their wedding day vision, it included all things Christmas! I was just so excited, not only because they loved Christmas as much as I did, but also because photographing a Christmas wedding has always been a dream of mine! So, you can bet I was in heaven on their big day!
Their engagement session was on one of the coldest days in October, but they were champs! We crossed our fingers that their wedding day would be a little warmer and we got lucky. It was cold, but I don’t think it was as cold as their engagement session. Anyway, their wedding day was the most beautiful Saturday in December. The forecast a few days prior called for a big snow storm, possibly 6 inches, but their wedding day was filled with sunny blue skies!
A few of my favorite moments from their day:
- Andrea’s Mom saying a prayer over Andrea and her bridesmaids before she walked down the aisle. I don’t think there were a set of dry eyes anywhere in that room and it was one of the most beautiful moments of the day. I remember Andrea saying at one point, “Mom, you’re not supposed to make me cry yet!”.
- When Chris first saw his beautiful bride, he couldn’t take his eyes off her and it was the sweetest first look I’ve witnessed.
- Andrea’s Father’s speech. He brought along Andrea’s Christmas stocking and passed it on to Chris and mentioned that now he had to take care of filling it. Cue the tears!
Their wedding day was filled with so much love and joy. Andrea and Chris were meant for each other and that was obvious on their wedding day. With that being said, I couldn’t be happier for you both and I wish you a lifetime full of love and joy! Congratulations you two! I hope you have an amazing honeymoon in Jamaica! I absolutely adore y’all and I can’t thank you enough for asking me to be part of your big day! XOXO
