Congratulations to Madison & Trent on becoming husband and wife! 💍✨ These two have known each other since 9th grade, and after 9 beautiful years together, they celebrated their anniversary by officially becoming one. 🤍 Their ceremony was filled with laughter, love, and the perfect touch of personality as they sealed it all with a unity shot of whiskey 🥃… a true toast to their forever!

Cheers to a lifetime of love, adventure, and many more anniversaries together. 🥂

✨ Supporting Local ✨
As a wedding officiant, I love finding unique touches that make a wedding day even more personal. My sweet friend owns Pradasi Designs LLC at River Ridge Lynchburg, and she’s now handcrafting the cutest wedding-themed cowgirl boot tassels 🤍👢. Perfect for brides, bridesmaids, or even a fun reception look!

I just ordered a custom set for my daughter-in-law’s fall wedding, and I can’t wait to see her rock them. If you’re planning your big day (or just love a good accessory), stop by her store and check them out!

Sandra & Kevin’s love story found the perfect backdrop today at Ravens Roost Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. 🌄💍 On their way to the ceremony, they stopped at a local farmers market where Kevin picked out flowers and lovingly arranged a bouquet for his bride… such a heartfelt detail that made their day even more personal. 💐

I was so honored to stand with them as they promised forever, and even more excited to work alongside the incredibly talented husband and wife duo, Kanded LLC. 📸 I cannot wait to see the breathtaking way they captured every moment of this sweet elopement. ✨

Congratulations to this sweet young couple, April & Alberto, who made it official last night! They already had their celebration at The Aviary in Lynchburg with their family and friends last weekend so just wanted something small and intimate to make it legal. 🥰

Yesterday I also had the joy of officiating Kimberly & Warrick’s 20th wedding anniversary vow renewal. 🤍 High school sweethearts who have built a beautiful life together, they’ve been blessed with six beautiful children and a loving home filled with memories. 🏡✨

Their ceremony took place right in that home, with their daughters playing a sweet role in the celebration. It was such a heartfelt reminder of the love, commitment, and family they’ve nurtured over the past 20 years. 💍

Congratulations, Kimberly & Warrick, what a legacy of love you’ve created together! 🥹

Yesterday I had the honor of officiating Lorraine & David’s 19th wedding anniversary vow renewal at a peaceful spot on Smith Mountain Lake. 💍✨ After reaffirming their vows, Lorraine shared a heartfelt poem she wrote for David, and in return, he serenaded her on guitar with the very same song he played on their wedding day 19 years ago. 🎶🤍 Such a beautiful reminder that true love only grows deeper with time.

This was the first of two vow renewals I was blessed to be part of yesterday… what a meaningful day!

Congratulations, Lorraine & David! Here’s to many more years of love and music together. 🫶🏼

Congratulations to Amanda and Jereth, who said “I do” today inside the beautiful Vaughan House Micro-Weddings greenhouse! 🌿✨ They chose such a meaningful ritual for their ceremony, a unity sapling planting. Using soil from each of their childhood homes, they combined it in the tree’s pot as a symbol of their roots, their families, and the new life they are growing together. 💍🪴

Wishing you both endless love, strength, and growth in this new chapter! 🤍
