A few favorites above… now onto the full experience. This couple chose to host a weekend long celebration with two days of photography coverage, all of which took place at the magnificent Omni Homestead Resort in Virginia


The weekend kicked off with a beautiful Havana Nights themed Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party. The latin theme tied in Felipe’s latin heritage as well as his background as a professional ballroom dancer. Fun was had by all!
















It felt like things couldn’t possibly get any better after that first night. But then the next morning, we woke up to beautiful blue winter skies and a fresh day awaiting whole new memories- starting out with Tom and Felipe getting ready together in their suite.


You may have noticed Tom and Felipe’s custom crest, which was so beautifully woven into their wedding day – on their cufflinks, embroidered onto their shoes, printed on their invitations, and even incorporated into their bar.






We had a little fun! Especially with the cologne spritz before we headed out to take a few pictures alone before festivities got started



















The start to the day was nice and relaxed. Then it was time to get these guys married! Their ceremony was held in the beautiful Omni Homestead Resort’s Crystal Ballroom. The classical pillars were covered in greenery, and the aisle was lined with candles.















Now party time! The Crystal Ballroom was transformed for the reception where Felipe, Tom and their guests danced the night away!





























Thank you so much Felipe and Tom for allowing me to capture these incredible memories for you! Just adore you both! XO Michelle
