Ingrid & Alec's Love Story

 

 

 

Beside the peaceful waters of a beautiful Virginia lake, Ingrid and Alec celebrated more than their wedding day. They celebrated the people, connections, and moments that brought them together.

From Ingrid walking down the aisle with her father to the tender exchange of vows and rings, their celebration was filled with meaningful moments. As evening arrived, laughter, embraces, and a joyful sparkler exit brought their unforgettable day to a beautiful close.

These are the moments I love preserving—the quiet expressions, genuine connections, and spontaneous celebrations that allow couples to remember not only how their wedding looked, but how it felt.
