We’ve known Ryan + Janelle for YEARS. In fact, Matthew has known them even longer than the five years that I have. Needless to say, we were HONORED to be part of their wedding day!

It was a gorgeous September Saturday in sunny Powhatan, Virginia. The weather had just begun to turn from summer to fall + it made for the absolutely wedding day. We had robins blue skies + the perfect amount of fall breeze!

The ceremony + reception took place at Federal Hill Club- a gorgeous place that Janelle + her family have been members since she was a little girl! It’s a place full of happy memories of summers that were well spent sitting beside the pool + enjoying the gorgeous atmosphere the club had to provide.

We may be a little biased, but I’d say Ryan + Janelle had a wedding that certainly made their dreams come true! We wish you two nothing but the best!! Enjoy the married life!!!

We LOVED being able to photograph Janelle’s gorgeous wedding dress while she got ready at her Mother’s home!

Look at this GORGEOUS tree Ryan + Janelle said I Do under at Federal Hill Club!

Fall weddings call for gorgeous yellow mum’s!

We LOVE capturing the groom’s first reaction of seeing his soon-to-be wife walking down the aisle towards him!

Look at that EMOTION!

The kiss that sealed the deal!

We love the navy, cowboy boots + gorgeous sunflower combination that the couple choose for their bridal party!

These ladies were absolutely the SWEETEST to work with!!!

We love sneaking in some time for stunning bridal portraits + Janelle KILLED it!

How could we not include Janelle’s pup in her bridal portraits!!

SOOOO sweet!!!!

YAY for bride + groom portrait time!! We are so thankful Federal Hill Club had such a gorgeous backdrop!!

Such a sweet Father + Daughter moment during their first dance!

What a CUTE idea!!! Ryan + Janelle had a doughnut bar set up for their guests featuring Sugar Shack Donuts!!!

They all looked SO delicious!

What a perfect way to end a gorgeous wedding than by having Janelle’s Aunt preform a dance from Grease!!
