Let me tell you guys, Erin and Tom were some dream clients. They were kind, adventurous, uplifting, goofy, gracious, and so in love. The kind of love you don’t see all the time, even as a wedding photographer. Their fall wedding took place during Hurricane Florence at the Rust Manor House in Leesburg, Virginia, yet it was still so beautiful and barely ended up raining!

Erin and Tom were actually friends for a few years before they started dating, and their friendship eventually grew into love. One day Erin realized that everything she had wanted in a partner was right there in front of her, and the rest is history! They told me that they really connected on their individual pursuit of self-work and striving to be the best version of themselves, which I love and completely vibe with. 

I loved the addition of the white Hunter Rainboots for the potential storm!

Erin started crying when she saw her mom!

When Erin started walking down the aisle, Tom’s dad emotionally turned to watch his son lovingly gaze at Erin, which in turn moved Tom’s mom.

Tom is also a musician, and surprised Erin with their song. It got emotional real fast.

Bubble exit!
