Classical Elegance Late Autumn Wedding At Woodlawn Manor in Alexandria, VA

weddings

A crisp late autumn day and a historic wedding venue set the stage for Thomas and Anne’s wedding day in Alexandria, Virginia. Bride, Anne, was a timeless beauty in a custom gown. After an intimate exchange of wedding vows, guests were welcomed into cocktail hour to custom cocktails and spiked cider. With a high emphasis on family, both cocktail hour and reception were full of warmth and connection, and the chilly November night couldn’t dampen the joy felt on the dance floor.
