Congrats John and Lise! - Midland, VA Wedding Photographer | Kelli Brewer Photography

My last wedding of the year! I'd been looking forward to the wedding of my friends John and Lise for months. We'd had 4 straight days of pouring rain and I worried their poor day would be washed out and pictures would be impossible, but the day of the wedding the sun was shining and it was a picture perfect day.

Their wedding was absolutely beautiful! The location was to die for - in the words of Rachel Zoe, "I die." John and Lise were married and had their reception at the Poplar Spring Inn Manor House. It was again, just beautiful. I am already planning a trip back with my husband to the small inn located in Midland, Virginia. Did you know they've cooked for the President?? The food was exquisite and overall the "old Hollywood, vintage" theme of the wedding was flawless.

It was a great wedding surrounded by friends and family. I've known Lise since the 1st grade and I am so happy for her and John! I also had the opportunity to partner with Chance Hammock for this event - he was a great help and a fabulous 2nd shooter. It's bittersweet that this is my last wedding of the year, but I am looking forward to all the upcoming sessions I will have through the fall!

Here are some highlights from the wedding of the new Mr. and Mrs. John Benoit =)
