Emily & Daniel: Intimate Rural Wedding in Amherst, Virginia

As soon as I met Emily and Daniel and their new puppy, Paisley, was in the car with them at our coffee date, I KNEW we were all going to get along so well!! (Total #dogmom supporting other dog mom’s over here LOL).

Emily and Daniel met online and spent several months getting to know each other. They never actually met, however, and each went their separate ways for a few months after they had met online. Emily ended up going back to the same dating site where she met Daniel about six months later. As soon as Daniel saw she was active again, he messaged her immediately and asked her on their first date!

For their first date, they went fishing on the side of the river and just were totally and completely themselves, hanging out and having fun! Daniel lived right next to where Emily worked, so after their first date, he often brought her lunch or randomly dropped in to see her (so sweet!!). After six months together, Daniel knew Emily was the one for him. He proposed and she (obviously) said YES!! They have been inseparable ever since! They’ve since bought a house together and are mom and dad to two precious fur babies!

I knew their story, but I loved being around their family and friends on their wedding day and watching them all gush over how perfect these two are for each other! I’ve never quite seen a groom smile so big at his bride the way Daniel did on their wedding day. It was the sweetest thing!!

Emily and Daniel, thanks so much for letting me capture both your engagement and your wedding day! I feel so special to have played a part in the best day of your lives and I’m so thankful to have met you both! xoxo
