Allison + Briggy UVA Wedding

Allison and Briggy encompass the phrase “Virginia Is For Lovers”. Even after moving states away they decided to return to Virginia for their wedding day. They are both UVA alumni and wanted their wedding to pay tribute to the magic they had in Charlottesville. From the gorgeous intimate UVA chapel ceremony to the fun energetic reception at The Jefferson Theater.

Allison is one of the most kind-hearted gals you will ever meet. She has a joy that radiates from within and through her smile. She has a true natural beauty about her that emanates through out everything she does. Briggy is charismatic and bubbly through and through. When you walk into a room you can feel his warmth and generous spirit. He’s one of those people that make you smile simply by beyond around them. Joy. Joy. Joy. These two are full of it. When their eyes met during their wedding day there was an overflow of love that came out of the well of their hearts. Together they make some of the most kind, authentic and down to earth couples you’ll ever meet. Beyond that they are silly and playful with each other with is adorable to witness. You can never take life too seriously, and these two got the goofiness down.

Allison wanted her wedding to be “…intimate, full of life and full of wonder” and wanted the details to speak of the old Hollywood vintage glam and glitter. It was truly that and more. Their color pallet was perfection with ashy purples, sages and golds. The decorations either glittered or glowed when you looked at them. Every single soul in that wedding was brimming with warmth. All the smiles like sweet embraces. And beyond the support there was the HOO cheers bellowing out from all the huddled alumni spilling over with UVA spirit.

It is such a gift to capture two people who are genuinely treasured by the other. I for one am very excited to have witnessed their first day in an amazing life journey. Congratulations you two!
