Remember these two? I photographed Jacob’s proposal to Kaylea back in November at this exact same spot where their ceremony was.

Kaylea and Jacob had to change their wedding plans quickly. Originally they were doing a backyard wedding in May with all their family and friends, but with groups being down to 10 or fewer, they decided to switch their date and location and it was just in time because a couple days later Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive closed due to Covid-19 (they’ve announced they are open again!!)

It was just their parents and their officiant. Jacob’s suit arrived quickly from an online order and fit perfectly (phew!) and Kaylea’s bouquet was picked by her mom there at their farm.

After their ceremony they took family photos and were given an envelope with their instructions for how to get to their Bed & Breakfast - it was like a scavenger hunt! We took couple portraits at a few overlooks, where they got some congratulatory honks from passersby.

It was wonderful and emotional and gorgeous, even if it was pulled together quickly and unlike their original plan - but at the end of the day they were married and still had some of their important people there to celebrate them.
