Such an incredible amount of care went into planning this Pamplin Grove wedding. The couple got ready at the groom’s Grandmother’s house. The pair hand made gifts for the bridesmaids, groomsmen and guests – resin bracelets, etched glass mugs and four leaf clover keychains. They were then driven to the ceremony by family members in vintage cars. Not to mention this was easily one of the most emotionally infused ceremonies I’ve photographed. Katee & Sky chose to get married in Pamplin Grove where Sky’s parents were married over thirty years ago. Every wedding is a celebration of love but when the whole community standing behind the couple is equally present… Yup. Magic.
