King Family Vineyards Wedding | Blue & White Charlottesville Wedding

There’s something about a summer wedding in Charlottesville that feels inherently effortless — where the landscape sets the tone, and the day unfolds with a natural rhythm. Katie and Jon’s wedding at King Family Vineyards embraced that feeling fully. With a classic blue and white palette, layered textures, and a celebration centered around their people, the day felt warm, relaxed, and genuinely joyful.

Intimate Garden Party Wedding Reception at The Rectory on Princess Street | Old Town Alexandria Wedding Photographer

Some celebrations are quiet, deeply intentional, and full of meaning in the most effortless way. Josie and Ben’s intimate summer wedding reception at The Rectory on Princess Street in Old Town Alexandria was exactly that.

After previously eloping, the couple gathered their closest family and friends for a post-elopement celebration and vow renewal in the heart of historic Old Town Alexandria. The evening unfolded like a garden cocktail party — relaxed, joyful, and filled with thoughtful details that reflected their personalities.

For couples searching for small wedding venues in Alexandria VA or planning an intimate wedding reception in Washington DC, their celebration is a beautiful example of how meaningful a smaller gathering can be.

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET ANGELIKA

I love finding beauty in unconventional places. I always have.

As a young girl, I started playing around with my family's point-and-shoot camera. And I spent much of my free time looking for beauty in unconventional places. What started as a hobby eventually became a career. And 10 years later, my quest remains the same: To capture the beauty within—and around— us all. With warmth, kindness, and a refined, creative eye.
