We had such a wonderful time getting to know Rachael and Jeff, who met while attending the University of Virginia Engineering School. Their UVA Mount Ida Lodge Wedding day started out at the Graduate Hotel located on the UVA Corner where the bridal party got ready and then they went over to the UVA Lawn to have their romantic first look. After capturing some iconic wedding pictures on the UVA lawn, everyone headed to the beautiful Lodge at Mount Ida Farm. The Lodge is Mount Ida’s newest wedding venue, and offers breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the perfect setting for Rachael & Jeff’s wedding ceremony!
The entire wedding day was beautiful with the perfect weather, a serene country setting, and of course an amazing band to party the night away! Congratulations to Rachael & Jeff! Thank you for making us a part of your wedding day, we wish you the best in life and marriage!
We just loved Rachel’s Hayley Paige wedding dress and Joanna August bridesmaid dresses!
Jeff’s Alabaster & Chess navy blue suit was very sharp!
We love capturing iconic bridal portraits with the columns at the UVA Rotunda!
Such a fun bridal party!
We loved the simple, yet elegant decor for this country chic barn wedding!
The Lodge at Mount Ida is so pretty! We love the drapery from the ceiling done by Blue Ridge AV and Lighting!
A soft and romantic wedding cake and dessert table by Cakes by Rachel!
