It poured the morning of Rhen and Erin’s Paynefield Farm wedding in Tappahannock last month, but you wouldn’t have known it by the time the ceremony hit.

I can’t say enough good things about Lindsey and Nathan’s fall, farm Spotsylvania wedding. With the autumn hued leaves in the background and the golden fields swaying in the breeze, Lindsey and Nathan said “I do” in front of their family and friends on a perfect Saturday. Their wedding was a reflection of them, with […]

I imagine brides will love the location, […]
