Jennifer + Todd | Roanoke Wedding Photographer | Hotel Roanoke Wedding
This was such a wonderful day!!
Jennifer and Todd make such an adorable couple. They are so clearly made for each other that you just knew they needed to be married!
The Preparations
I first met up with Jennifer at the Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke, Virginia. The girls were getting ready for the big day! The very talented Nicole Hall from Up Towne Hair and Nail Salon in Roanoke, Virginia. She was so talented and the girls looked amazing! The ladies also had their nails done byt Amanda Vasold at Polished by Claire.
Jennifer’s dress was designed by Essence of Australia and she picked it out at Studio I Do in Roanoke. Isn’t it stunning? She looked flawless! The beautiful flowers were from The Flower Shoppe on Main and the bouquets were just perfect!
Todd and the groomsmen all chose their attire from The New Fangled Bride and they looked sharp!
Once Jennifer and Todd were all ready they met for a first look. I just LOVE shooting a first look and getting to document the joy and emotion that comes out when they see each other. This moment was beautiful!
The Ceremony
Due to an afternoon thunderstorm, the ceremony was moved indoors. While Jennifer and Todd were disappointed that they didn’t get to have their ceremony on the patio, it was still a beautiful ceremony and they were surrounded by all of their friends and family. Their vows were awesome too! They made me laugh and cry!
The Reception
Once the ceremony ended the guests enjoyed cocktail hour and then the reception began. What a great party it was! Food was catered by the Hotel Roanoke and the guests were served an amazing meal. The beautiful cake and cupcakes were provided by Cakes by Lisa. The AWESOME Russell (aka “DJ Flex”) kept the party hopping! I am always excited when I see that RSP Entertainment is DJ-ing because I know it will be a fun reception! These guys do such an awesome job. So much dancing and fun was all around! The photo booth was a big hit too! The lovely ladies from Clear Choice Photo Booth kept guests entertained with fun props and photos that could be shared on guest’s social media right away! That was a cool feature! And, yes, I did have to get in on the fun!
The night ended with a sparkler exit and then the guests headed out to the afterparty for even more fun! This was one fun group!
