For this week’s #weddingwednesday, I’m sharing Esther and Daniel’s wedding from this past fall, which has also been recently featured on Magnolia Rouge! Just like many couples who had to navigate through the wedding planning process through the pandemic, Esther and Daniel had to change their plans several times leading up to their wedding day.

The original idea was to invite their family from near and far, but with the restrictions in place, they had to cut down their guest list to one-third of the original. Nonetheless, it was still a family affair, and they were able to celebrate with their closest loved ones whilst streaming the ceremony and part of the reception to those who cannot be there in person to celebrate with them.

Their wedding day was a perfect day in October - the sky was clear with a light breeze, and the temperature was just right to have an outdoor wedding and The Inn At Vint Hill in Warrenton, Virginia provided the perfect setting. The couple got ready with their closest friends at the venue, and we had the sweetest first look in front of the manor.

The ceremony took place on the side of the venue, where an old oak tree draped with linen was used as the backdrop. Esther and Daniel shared their personal vows in front of their family and friends, and they were happily blessed and married! We took some time during the golden hour to spend alone with them, and those were my favorite moments of the day!

For the reception, we continued with the celebration under the outdoor tent at the venue. Esther and Daniel danced the night away with a live band, DC Transit Band, and it was the perfect way to end the night!
