Pack your bags, readers, because we’re headed to Lexington, Virginia!!  A few weeks ago Misty and I made the trek to the gorgeous House Mountain Inn and Irvine Estate, where Nicole and Tyler tied the knot among the gorgeous fall colors and breathing mountain views! It was so great to see so many family and friends travel from all over to be with Nicole and Tyler on their big day! Even though the weather was a bit chilly it didn’t stop everyone from having a great time!!

As I looked through the images to prepare for the blog I was struck with a common thread – Nicole’s infectious smile and laughter.  You just can’t help but smile when you see how truly happy she is!  And Tyler knows how to make her laugh! I loved it!!

Now one thing I must prepare you for…if you hate snakes there are a few images you may want to scroll quickly through.  As we were setting up for their First Look a water moccasin who was basking in the sunlight made a move on Tyler and came VERY close to getting him.  It caused quite some excitement and I felt that is just had to be included in their story! But other than than, sit back and enjoy the breathtaking views and this gorgeous couple!!

Tyler is super talented with his craftsman skills and handmade each of these for his groomsmen! What an amazing gift!!  And this is where you may want to scroll quickly.  Look at the SIZE of that thing!!  That smile and that laugh!!! I love it!!!  All of Nicole’s florals were from Wegman’s and they were stunning!  Gotta love a groom with a good sense of humor! How beautiful are these girls and their gorgeous shades of blush?!?!

These two had an awesome bridal party that was game for anything and everything. I love these shots we got of the whole crew:

OMG such a sweet moment!!  You seriously couldn’t ask for a more stunning or beautiful backdrop for your wedding!

So let me take a moment and tell you about this band!! They are called Liquid A and they are from Philadelphia.  They were KILLER!! Probably one of the best I have heard in all my years of wedding receptions! 

Congratulations Nicole and Tyler! It was definitely a celebration to remember. Now if only I could figure out how to transport those gorgeous mountain views to Virginia Beach!
