Ali & Benjie

July was the perfect month for Ali & Benjie to exchange vows at the stunning Pharsalia estate in Tyro, Virginia. As the couple shared intimate glances, a gentle summer breeze swept through the lush greenery, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere for their celebration.

​

Their ceremony unfolded in a tranquil garden setting, framed by manicured hedges and fragrant blooms, thoughtfully arranged by Pharsalia. Ali looked radiant in a fitted lace gown with a plunging neckline, carrying a cascading bouquet of peonies, garden roses, and delicate wildflowers that perfectly complemented the venue’s natural splendor. Beside her, Benjie looked effortlessly dapper in a crisp navy suit.

​

Following the ceremony, guests gathered on Pharsalia’s picturesque grounds for a joyful reception, beautifully planned by The Evergreen Collective. Long wooden tables draped in elegant white linens featured rustic accents and vibrant floral centerpieces, highlighting the venue’s botanical charm. Guests dined on a delicious seasonal feast while sipping refreshing cocktails, indulging in cake and pastries from Albemarle Baking Co. As the sun dipped below the horizon, Ali and Benjie shared a romantic first dance beneath a canopy of twinkling lights, with Garland Studios setting the perfect musical ambiance.

​

The night ended with a dazzling sparkler send-off before the couple took a celebratory plunge into the pool—a fun and unforgettable finale to their magical day.
