Katelyn James was one of the first fine art wedding photographers I ever came across (thanks to my BFF!), and she is certainly one of the photographers who changed my perception of what modern wedding photography is. As most of y’all know, I’m a journalism student, so it’s no wonder that editorial-style wedding photography that tells a story is what makes my heart skip a beat, as well as one of the driving forces behind this blog! Today, I’m thrilled to be sharing the sweet love story of Nikki and Alex, who were married in the backyard of a private residence in my beautiful home state of Virginia. It is beautiful and sentimental, with the perfect amount of rustic chic, and the most gorgeous purple bouquets–all photographed to perfection by Katelyn James Photography. Enjoy!

The flowers, the cake, the cookie bar, the gorgeous bride and groom! If this wedding isn’t the sweetest, I don’t know what is. Thank you so much to Katelyn for letting me share this beautiful wedding!

Which picture is your favorite? I can’t get over the pictures from the bride and groom’s first look, or the shot of them kissing behind their darling cake!

Love,

Lisa
