Emily + Ian | UVA Chapel & King Family Vineyards | January 11, 2020

Once upon a time we found out we were expecting a baby and had no idea what that would look like for our family so we kept booking weddings as though we’d be ready to jump back into that life a mere 2.5 months postpartum. Clear evidence of divine intervention was that Emily and Ian were our first (and only for a while) wedding back in the game after Fields came along.

I could talk for days about what it meant to have the kind of support Emily and her mom gave us during those early months (and consistently ever since) but that would just make me weepy. Emily and her mom, Mary Jane, insisted that they wanted to meet Fields and that we were more than welcome to bring him to the wedding… so we did. My parents drove to King Family Vineyards so I could see my little guy and feed him while I fed myself during our dinner break.

Couples and families like these are truly what made this year possible. Emily and Ian were our only wedding before the pandemic hit and I’m so glad they got to enjoy this day the way they’d planned and dreamed. Happy Anniversary, Emily + Ian! I hope it is such a joy to celebrate together today!
