Nicole & Chris |Christina Barnum Photography, Virginia Wedding Photographer

When Nicole contacted me earlier in the year, inquiring about wedding coverage, I was SOOOO shocked. At the time, I didn’t have much of a wedding portfolio, and I wasn’t promoting them, but she still asked… and I was on it like bread on butter, baby! I LOVE love, and when I heard how excited she was to marry her best friend and all the awesome details about what they were planning, I was IN IT TO WIN IT! 😉

I got to hang with them in the spring for a tour of the farm & for engagement photos, and seeing the two of them together, along with the venue (Bay View Farm)  REALLY.GOT.ME.PUMPED! I’d been looking forward to their special day almost as much as they were. haha!! See their engagement session here!

Well, *their* day finally arrived and I’m pretty sure I was more nervous than the bride! haha! But, those nerves were at ease as soon as I arrived to the farm. Everyone was so happy and relaxed — ESPECIALLY Nicole. She was glowing, and just soooo relaxed and excited.

Everything was perfect… But not quite as perfect as Nicole & Chris are for each other. I know it’s said often, but I MEAN IT. You can just feel their energy. I got goose bumps listening to their best friends speak so highly of each of them as individuals and then as a team. Everyone around them sees it & feels it… like maaaagiiiic 😉

Congrats you two!!  THANK YOU for letting me be a part of your day!! You’ll never know how much it means to me that you trusted me to capture this moment in your lives.  I hope you LOVE the memories captured below!
