Lauren & Jacob
October Autumn Elegance at Long Branch Farm
As the crisp autumn air settled over the Shenandoah Valley, Lauren and Jacob exchanged their vows at the historic Long Branch Farm in Millwood, Virginia. Surrounded by the venue's elegant colonial-era architecture, serene meadows, and warm wooden accents, the couple's natural, autumnal celebration brought together rustic charm and refined style.
Floral designer Rachels Bloomers created a captivating ceremony arch dripping with lush blooms in shades of peach, rust, and burgundy that complemented the warm neutral tones of the venue's brick and wood details. As the newlyweds said their "I do's" beneath the arch, the sunlight poured in through the surrounding trees, casting a golden glow over the intimate outdoor ceremony.
Following the vows, photographer Anna Greyson Photo curated a stunning collection of portraits that highlighted the couple's affectionate connection and the beauty of the Long Branch Farm estate. The couple strolled hand-in-hand through the manicured gardens, pausing to admire the vibrant fall foliage and backdrop of the historic manor. Intimate close-ups captured the delicate lace details of Lauren's gown and Jacob's dapper attire.
The Catering Company set the stage for a lively reception within the venue's twinkling tent pavilion. Draped in sheer white fabric and illuminated by a sea of lights, the space effortlessly blended rustic and refined elements. Guests dined on seasonal fare and sipped signature cocktails as they were transported to the heart of Virginia's wine country.
