As we began photographing Grace and Anthony’s details on the morning of their spring wedding at Farmington Country Club, we noticed a small, beautifully wrapped gift. We didn’t realize then just how meaningful it would be. When Hunter entered the groomsmen’s suite an hour later, Anthony spotted the gift in his hands — a surprise from Grace — and immediately began to cry.

At their rehearsal dinner the night before, we’d learned that Grace was an incredibly intentional gift-giver. So before Anthony even unwrapped it, he knew it would be something special. Inside was a leather-bound journal. As he opened it, tears streamed down his face. Page after page was filled with Grace’s handwritten notes — thoughts, prayers, and love letters she had written to him over the years, beginning long before they were engaged. As Anthony read, Grace’s brother began to cry… and soon Hunter and a few groomsmen joined in.

That same intentionality was woven throughout every detail of the day — from Grace’s heartfelt gift to the glow-light batons lighting up the dance floor. It was a day full of laughter, tears, and pure joy! As Grace and Anthony made their grand exit through cheering guests toward their vintage Rolls-Royce, the emotion of the moment caught up to Grace. Her parents waited by the car to say goodbye, and for the first time all day, she let the tears fall. Their spring wedding at Farmington Country Club couldn’t have been more perfect — the kind of day most couples dream of!

 

Grace & Anthony,

We feel so honored to have been on this journey with you two! We had no idea when we captured your double-surprise proposal almost 18 months ago that we would have the privilege of joining you guys through your walk into marriage, and we hope the images we captured over this time will forever bless your families! And we hope to continue to bump into you two around Charlottesville in the years to come!

 

With love,
Sarah + Hunter
