stone manor b&b | virginia wedding photographer | keri + patrick

While on opposing trivia teams, Keri and Patrick met at the Ottobar, a neighborhood bar not far from where they used to live. Witty banter eventually turned into serious conversation as they spent more and more time together before, after and outside of trivia happy hours…
Patrick knew how much Keri’s close college friends meant to her, so he knew he wanted to involve them in his proposal. The rest of their sweet love story is summarized here, from our time during their Wyman Park engagement session!

The intimate and cozy Stone Manor B&B was absolutely perfect for a meaningful, relaxing way to celebrate with the people they love! I wish more couples would indulge in the luxury of a weekend getaway wedding (or maybe I just wish we had for our wedding!). 🙂

This moment where Keri’s mom helped button up the back of her dress may be one of my absolute favorite; Pride. Love. Joy. Excitement… as a mom myself, I’m no stranger to the emotion-filled ride that is motherhood!

 

I can’t get over how stunning Keri looked and how perfectly her lace illusion back Allure Bridals dress complimented the romantic, garden aesthetic of the manor’s grounds! I love that she left her curly hair untouched, other than a headband. Isn’t she absolutely breathtaking?!

As Keri and the girls were getting ready (in the largest bridal suite I’ve ever seen!), Patrick and his brother used the opportunity to make some final adjustments to his coral polka dotted pocket square and tie. #coraleverythingplease

Their first look was one of the most unique first looks I’ve ever captured… peeking out among a set of juliet balconies inside the manor!

 

Keri’s dad, a retired minister, performed the ceremony and her brother walked her down the aisle… cue the happy tears!

 

 

 

I was definitely drooling as I was photographing the cookie dessert table… not only were they delicious, but an extremely popular Pittsburgh tradition! Who knew!?!

I couldn’t get over the dancers they had in their presence!

We were so honored to capture each and every moment of your day and wish you nothing but the best as you continue to learn and discover more trivia facts about each other with each passing happy celebration. 😉

Cheers!
