Christen + Chris | Doe Creek Farm Wedding Photographer

What a perfect couple.

I first had the great pleasure of meeting Christine and Chris for their engagement session. It was a VERY cold day which is a big difference from the warm and sunny day they had for their wedding! If you’d like to see more from their engagement session you can here: Engagement Session

When I first arrived at Doe Creek Farm Christen and the girls were getting their makeup done in the main house while Chris and the guys were finishing up details around the barn. Everyone was so excited and the energy of the day was almost tangible! Sarah Hatch of At Last Hair Color Studio was working on Christen’s makeup. Sarah has been Christen’s hair stylist for years and travelled all the way to Pembroke, Virginia just for Christen’s wedding! She did a wonderful job helping to make Christen look stunning!

Christen’s dress was from Bridal Elegance and was just stunning! The flowers were from one of my favorite local florists, Jody Strum, of The Moss and Rose. The floral arrangements were simply works of art!

The ceremony was in front of the main house overlooking the apple orchard. It was just gorgeous. Christen and Chris said their vows in front of all of their loving family and friends. It was a very special moment to be a part of.

The reception kicked off after the ceremony in the Doe Creek Farm barn. This is a beautifully renovated space that was so beautifully decorated. Christen’s sister made the wood table number placards. Chris and Christen went to various antique stores and collected the glass vases. They also added in a little chemistry glassware as a nod to Chris’ work! I was super excited that The Element at Mikie’s 7th was the caterer! Mikie Nichols is a master at her craft and her food is always amazing! Christen and Chris’ meal was heavenly! The beautiful and yummy cake was provided by Our Daily Bread out of Blacksburg. And, of course, a Blacksburg wedding is not complete without some Carol Lee Donuts!
