Historic Jasmine VA Wedding Photographer: Wes + Anna-Lisa’s Wedding Unforgettable Day

As a Historic Jasmine VA Wedding Photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing many beautiful weddings, but Wes and Anna-Lisa’s celebration stands out as one of my absolute favorites in the past 12 years. It’s fascinating how Historic Jasmine seems to attract such wonderful couples; their joy and love truly light up the space.

A Rock Climbing Love Story

Wes and Anna-Lisa’s wedding was a stunning showcase of their personalities and passions. They first connected on Bumble, and their shared love for rock climbing quickly brought them together. It’s no surprise, then, that their wedding featured rock climbing elements woven into the decor, reflecting their unique bond and interests.

Country Line Dancing

A delightful surprise at Wes and Anna-Lisa’s wedding was the addition of a country line dance instructor, who brought a lively and fun-filled energy to the celebration. The dance floor was soon abuzz with guests learning new steps and joining in on the country line dancing.

Elegant Blue and Gold

Their wedding colors were a beautiful palette of blue and gold, with a predominance of blue that perfectly complemented the elegance of their day. This thoughtful choice added a personal touch, highlighting their love for each other and the scenic elements that played a part in their story.

Personal Touches at Historic Jasmine

One of the many things I adore about being a Historic Jasmine VA Wedding Photographer is witnessing how couples incorporate their personal touches into their celebrations. For Wes and Anna-Lisa, it was all about celebrating their love for rock climbing. From the rock climbing bags used by flower men to the stunning decor, every detail was  planned to reflect their shared passion.

A Grand Celebration

The wedding was a grand affair with over 250 guests, showing the couple’s wide circle of friends and family who adore them. It reminded me of another memorable wedding we had at Historic Jasmine a few years back, proving that this venue is indeed a magnet for grand and heartfelt celebrations.

Magical Moments

The ceremony was nothing short of magical. The flower men, perfectly in sync with their rock climbing bags, set the tone for a day filled with joy. The vows exchanged, filled with laughter and heartfelt words, created an atmosphere of pure happiness. It might just be my favorite ceremony of all time.  And I’ve been to a lot!

Emotional Highlights

Anna-Lisa’s mom was absolutely stunning, and her bridesmaids radiated warmth and kindness, reflecting the deep love they have for her. Seeing this love and joy in action was truly up-lifting.

The first dance was an emotional highlight. Wes lifting Anna-Lisa into the air and their synchronized movements left me, after all these years of photographing weddings, actually moved to tears. It was a amazing moment & the crowd clapped with joy!

Heartfelt Speeches

The speeches, too, were memorable. Wes’s best man, Snead—whom he met on Craigslist—gave a heartfelt tribute that brought him to his knees & tears to his eyes.  It was a a beautiful testimony of how much Wes and Anna-Lisa are cherished by those around them.
