When Jessi & Dalton had to postpone their original wedding date, I was ecstatic that it would instead be an early fall wedding at Sinkland Farms in Christiansburg, Virginia. Fall in Virginia (I mean, fall in general, really!) is one of my absolute favorite things. And Jessi & Dalton’s wedding day was full of perfect weather, lots of laughter, and even a few happy tears (just wait til you see her dad’s first look with her!).
The day began with Jessi & her 10 bridesmaids sipping mimosas and getting all dolled up by Devin Brye Artistry. She then slipped into the most perfect, classic wedding gown that looked like it was made for her! Then, she did a first look with all of her bridesmaids that was full of laughter and some incredibly happy tears. Meanwhile, Dalton and his guys (and his groomsgirl) were having fun relaxing and hanging out before they got ready.
Jessi & Dalton said their I do’s in front of the gorgeous pond at Sinkland Farms. Dalton choked back tears as Jessi was walked down the aisle by her dad. And as soon as their promises were made, the two began their celebrating right back down the aisle!
As they headed into the reception area, Jessi & Dalton shared the sweetest first dance as husband and wife. Then, she shocked us all during her father-daughter dance and she and her dad had the best choreographed dance together! But, don’t worry…Dalton and his mom weren’t going to be outdone and they ALSO had a dance prepared!
This beautiful Sinkland Farms wedding in Christainsburg, VA was the perfect start for two incredible people. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Seat! I am so honored to have captured your day!
