Yoko & Andrew – Wedding

This weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing Yoko and Andrew’s intimate wedding. I was looking forward to their wedding for a long time! When Yoko emailed me last year, she totally stole my heart when she complimented my work with such beautiful words.

Even though it was a little chilly, thankfully the rain held off and we did have a couple of bursts of sunshine throughout the day at both The Lafayette Inn (for getting ready and reception) and Lydia Mountain (for the ceremony).

It was truly a lovely wedding and I can honestly say that this wedding was especially meaningful to us. Yoko and Andrew went out of their way to treat us like part of their family and we were so honored by them.

A few of my favorites from the day:

Yoko made their cake topper and it was so charming! Their cake was probably one of the most delicious cakes I have ever eaten!

Yoko’s father gave an especially touching speech…quite a few tears were shed!

Andrew has really great eyes:

Thank you Yoko and Andrew for including us on your day. We love the coffee and especially the chocolates!

Congratulations to you both. I wish you two many happy years together.

  1. Hi Vera! It’s Lauren, Andrew’s sister– the one who sat on your left for dinner. These photos are LOVELY! I mean, REALLY, you did a fantastic job! Thanks so much for your hard work, and for sticking around through dinner. It was really nice to meet you (and great to talk to you, I was pretty nervous and talking to you helped a lot), and good luck to you and your husband in the future. Thanks again!

  4. Hi, Vera and Brian! This is yoko. Thank you so x 1000000 much for joining our wedding! Your photos are absolutely gorgeous, and I love them all! I sent out the link of your web site to my family, so they can enjoy them in any minutes! How you delivered such clear photos in limited lighting was just amazing. I am so going to move to VA, so I can visit your studio for every special event :) Thanks again, and talk to you soon!
