December Wedding at Glencliff Manor - Ben & Jenny {Virginia wedding Photographer}

Most December brides are hoping for a day where at least no one gets frost bite.  Well how about a 75 degree day.  That's what Jenny and Ben got last Saturday when they got married at Glencliff Manor.  It was a beautiful day.  A little warm actually, but no complaints.  That evening for the reception it was perfection.  No numb fingers or toes.  They kept the ceremony small with just parents and siblings with their families.  Then afterwards everyone else showed up for dinner and dancing.  

My favorite part was during the dances they invited married couples up to dance with them.  Then during the Bride/Father dance and Mother/Son Dance they invited Father/Daughters to dance and Mother/Sons to dance.  The floor was packed and it was very sweet.  I loved that they did that and loved it even more that everyone participated.  

Below you will see Jenny's daughter helping to tie up her wedding dress.  How sweet!  That's something Jenny will be able to look back on and show her daughter when she gets older.  What a special memory!

I love it when product comes in to deliver!  I know digitals are all the rage but pictures were meant to print and enjoy.  Place them all over, Desks, Bookshelf's, Walls, Refrigerators.  How often do you pull out your DVD, USB, or gallery and sit and go through your pictures?  Never right.  Print them!  Enjoy them!!!
