This wedding was absolutely Gorge(ous)!!! See what I did there ;)
The day started at Martha's Place, a gorgeous cabin/cottage at the New River Gorge. Mandy and her bridesmaids got ready downstairs.
The guys got ready at a separate cabin at the New River Gorge Preserve. The ceremony location was just across the road, so we headed there next.
The ceremony backdrop was what West Virginia wedding dreams are made of!! #Swoon! Mandy and Arturo exchanged the sweetest vows. They laughed at each other's words and gushed about the love they share <3
After the ceremony we went on a drive around some gorgeous scenic overlooks. This wedding was what a photographer's dream looks like. Seriously, could they be any more photogenic?
And kudos to the bride & groom for hiking through the forest to Beauty Mountain for some gorgeous couple's shots.
After a couple of hours, we headed back to the reception where the guests were waiting. The table settings were so unique.
The reception was so much fun and completely non-traditional. It was basically a house party with close friends and family, inside a huge gorgeous cabin!
This wedding is one that I won't soon forget. These people were beautiful, and not just on the outside. I'm always thankful for weddings where the guests make me feel included and like I'm part of the family. And they did just that. Congratulations Arturo & Mandy, may your marriage be as beautiful as your wedding day!
