There’s something so special about being a Virginia-based wedding photographer. Living right outside of Washington DC, I have the privilege of experiencing the extravagant historic DC wedding venues as well as the hidden gems sprinkled throughout the mountains and small towns of Virginia. Abigail and Michael’s wedding was the quintessential Virginia wedding, and I can’t wait to guide you through The View at Bluemont wedding photos.

About the Venue

The wedding took place in the heart of Bluemont, Virginia, where everything seems to slow down as you settle into the sights of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Nestled atop a hill overlooking the beauty of those mountains, The View at Bluemont is exactly what its name implies: A venue with a stunning view.

The venue’s manor house holds 9 beds, and able to accommodate a total of 18 guests overnight. Also, there’s a fire pit and pool outside for pre- or post-wedding festivities.

The ceremony space is the highlight of the venue. The lighting is perfect for afternoon ceremonies, with beautiful backlighting during the bride’s entrance, and soft yet direct sun facing the altar. The clouds added to the ambiance, providing a perfect outdoor wedding ceremony experience.

The reception took place in a grand ballroom with large windows to let lots of light in. Even flash reflected beautifully on the dark wood floors and sparkling chandelier. If you’re looking for a classic Virginia wedding venue, The View at Bluemont is the perfect place!

The Wedding Day

The day started with little getting ready moments at the View’s estate house. Abigail and Michael spent time apart to take in the day before meeting for their first look in front of the house. We took a mix of candid, classic, and editorial style wedding portraits to paint a full picture. After, the wedding party and families joined for formal group portraits, and then they all went back inside to prepare for the ceremony.

The ceremony was where it all came together. Decorated with florals from Mountain Mama Florals and signage from The Simple Script, a classy and beautiful atmosphere brought guests together. My team captured the ceremony from the ground and the air – I highly recommend a drone for aerial wedding ceremony photos! Abigail and Michael shared vows and exchanged rings, framed by the stunning mountains and blue sky.

Afterwards, we captured some fun newlywed portraits with the setting sun as the backdrop, before heading up to cocktail hour. The reception was spent full of cheers, tears, and laughs during special dances and heartfelt speeches. We ended the night with a cake cutting, dancing, and donut truck (which was absolutely delicious). I could not have had a better time capturing this beautiful Virginia wedding day!
