I’m so happy to bring you Howard & Stacy’s gorgeous wedding, today. You may remember them from their beautiful, woodsy engagement session, and their wedding day was every bit as awesome as I expected it to be. It was a true joy to witness these two commit their love to each other. They had such a trust in God as He crafted their love story, and they communicated that so beautifully throughout their special day.
The whole day took place on the beautiful grounds of Wheatland Farm in Purcellville, VA – and I definitely fell in love. Such a gorgeous venue!
Many thanks to Karen who shot with me for the day! She captured both of the next two lovely images!
It was such a pretty day, and isn’t Stacy just gorgeous??
These bridesmaids had great style. Aren’t their jewelry choices fabulous?!
The ceremony was held right in front of the lake – such a beautiful spot!
This was the cutest thing ever – they had Stacy’s nephew announce her entrance!
The bridal party knew how to woooork it!
As usual, these two rocked the portrait time. They’re so natural in front of the camera, and it was so easy to see their love come through the lens. I love it! :)
Gah, I just love all of these. Weeping willows are the best!
Annnd, of course, the reception decor was fabulous. All of the amazing florals from the day and much of the decor were done by Kelley at Event Studio, and a lot of the details were actually made by Howard, himself!
I loved how their place cards/photo display, guest table area, and the sign post all helped tell their story. So cool and personalized!
And there was delicious food, of course! Catered by Savoir Fare.
I LOVE that they had a strawberry shortcake!
It was such a seriously beautiful day, and I’m so glad I had the privilege of sharing in Howard & Stacy’s story! :)
I love the fresh colors of the wedding and all of the gorgeous backdrops you had to work with! Everything looked great!
oooooohhhhh, Tori. SO GORGEOUS.
Tori, the pictures look amazing! You really did a great job.
You captured the day perfectly! The pictures are beautiful!

I’ve never seen a more beautiful wedding party. Howard and Stacy looked perfect and really complimented each other. I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail that went into the wedding. Howard and Stacy thought of everything and were truly blessed with an impeccable wedding. The photographer did an exceptional job, but I’m certain with the cast of beautiful people and natural scenary she had to work with she couldn’t consider this work, more like fun! The bridal party was simply stunning and each uniquely beautiful, especially that tall brunet:)I’m sure if everyone came to an agreement, you could easily sell these photos to a few different magazines and get paid…
Lovely people, beautiful world.
What a glorious day for a picture perfect wedding! We are so blessed to have shared it with Howard & Stacy. Tori did an amazing job capturing the setting and emotions of the special gathering.
Awesome pictures! Great wedding, it was so much fun!
Tori, thanks for capturing this special day for Howard and Stacy in such a unique and romantic way.
Loved your pics, I didn’t know HOward could smile that much. You’ve got great memories just wish we could have been there.
Beautiful wedding. Enjoyed the pictures.

Beautiful wedding. Fabulous pictures. Especially the ones taken by the Willow Tree. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful wedding!!! And the photography is wonderful! Much happiness to the bride and groom!!!
My darling daughter Stacy & new son-in-law Howard,(that sounds nice) What a success! You both were very well organized, and your attention to detail was superb. Especially finding the right photographer. The afternoon was delightful and everyone had a wonderful time. I heard several compliments throughout the day on how beautiful everything was. Tori’s pictures captured it all. Tori, thank you so much. You did an absolutely wonderful job. Beautiful, beautiful pictures. I can’t say this enough. WOW! You are soooo talented. PS: I enjoyed reading Adley’s comments. Maybe Stacy & Howard should go on the road and model wedding attire as husband and wife. Of course, Tori would have to go too. Hee Hee
What a wonderful job! You can really feel the emotions of the event! Beautiful!!!
A beautiful wedding, and the images and memories are beautifully captured! Congratulations!
Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures. Happiness always.

Harold and Stacy first of all I would have to say that your wedding was breathtaking everything was captured so beautifully Tori did an amazing job but she had two people that was so photogenic I guess the saying a picture is worth a thousand words is so true you have great pictures that you can look back on and enjoy. Best wishes to you both, I hope you have a long and happy life together God bless you and keep you safe as you start your life together.
This is an exquisite wedding. So beautiful
It was amazing seeing just what can be created with such a few simple items such as burlap,wooden barrels, mason jars and wildflowers! Tori, your photographer captured every moment with such flare and clean lines, she made such wonderful decisions on your backgrounds, where your wedding took place was a beautiful property! I love your country theme! These pictures of one of the most wonderful days in your lifetime has been captured in such a beautiful way that every moment has been captured to hold in your hearts forever! Simply put..a beautiful couple, a beautiful day, a beautiful property and such very beautiful photography to catch it all!
The pictures are awesome!
Thank you everyone for all your sweet, thoughful comments! Howard and I had such a wonderful wedding day, and Tori did a fabulous job capturing every moment (and making me feel like a model). It would not have been possible without the help of all our wonderful friends and family who helped with the preparations and setup. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
What can I say the pictures are beautiful, maybe it has something to do with the couple being photographed, lol! I was very honored to have been a part of your wedding. Stacy seeing all the pictures from when we were kids brought back SO many great memories we had growing up on the farm! It was such an amazing day for a wedding and you guys couldn’t have picked a better place to have it. Also, I just wanted to let you know Howard that I couldn’t have asked for a better brother in law than you! I Love You both and can’t wait to bring Sherri and the kids down to see the house!

[…] A couple of months I had the opportunity to 2nd shoot with my beautiful friend Tori, of Marvelous Things Photography. We met up early, grabbed some much needed Starbucks on our way out of town, and drove the couple of hours to Wheatland Farm in Purcellville for the amazing wedding of Howard & Stacy! You definitely do not want to miss Tori’s pictures of the day, which you can see here! […]
