Maggie & Gabe’s summer wedding was a dream wedding and Maggie and Gabe are a dream couple! Not only are Maggie & Gabe truly the two kindest humans, but their love for one another is the most precious and genuine love. They could not have been any happier to be marrying one another! Everyone always tells couples that the marriage should be more important than the wedding and that the couple should take time to take everything in on their wedding day to help them remember the day. Maggie and Gabe could not have emulated that advice more perfectly. Every time I caught a glimpse of them during their day, their faces were light up with joy and pure bliss as they looked at each other and at their guests enjoying their celebration. I couldn’t stop smiling and declaring how happy I was for them as I watched them genuinely enjoying their wedding and each other.

Maggie & Gabe were married at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Lynchburg and held their reception at the Blackwater Creek Pavilion in Bedford. St. Thomas was such a beautiful church and the vaulted ceilings were stunning! Blackwater Creek Pavilion was beautiful also and the owner and chef provided the most amazing meal I have ever had at a wedding! The food was just immaculate; you have to go eat at the restaurant portion of the venue.

After the reception, Maggie & Gabe chose to take an extra hour for just couple’s portraits (a photographer’s dream!) We headed to a local park in Bedford for their portraits and it could not have been more beautiful! We had so many beautiful areas in the park to use during our portrait time; I have way too many favorites!
