I’m really excited about the newest thing happening over here at Aaron Watson Photography! UVA Children’s Hospital helps hundreds of children each year and we could not think of a better way to celebrate family, Father’s Day, and the start of summer than by partnering with them to help raise money to support the children in our community.
From now through June 20th you will receive a free 90-minute family portrait package valued at over $280, for your donation of $150 to UVA Children’s Hospital! 100% of proceeds from the donations go to UVA Children’s Hospital! You may use the session for your own family or gift it to someone else (it could make a great Father’s Day gift)! Donations need to be made by June 20th, but sessions are redeemable through December 31st, 2012!
Call us today at 434.202.8031 to receive your free portrait session and help us support this great cause!

When I mentioned in my last post that Mary and Anthony put a lot of thought into the details of their wedding, I wasn’t kidding! Who wouldn’t love to go to a wedding reception that has cotton candy, Root Beer, a whole candy bar, and yummy Southern food!? Mary and Anthony were so creative in planning their big day and it was an awesome time! They danced under a tent into the night with the people they love. The location was incredibly beautiful so they made sure to take a walk around Pharsalia to get some great pictures with the mountains in the background (one of the perks of a Virginia wedding!) One of my favorite things they made is a sign that reads, “This is how our story begins!” They are SO excited about living life together and we were honored to be a part of that and document their day!

I am SO excited to share with you some pictures from Becca and Steve’s gorgeous wedding the other weekend. Just this week their engagement session was featured on the Charlottesville Wedding Blog, so make sure to head over there and read about how they met (it’s a hilarious story)!
It was raining on and off all day, something no bride hopes for. Fortunately, Aaron had a few great ideas of how to take advantage of the weather and get some awesome portraits of the two of them. I especially like the last photo of Becca and Steve holding an umbrella in front of Keswick Hall. The clouds looked so dramatic and made for an epic picture! The rain didn’t lower anyone’s spirits. Everyone there was smiling and celebrating the whole time! Becca and Steve are so funny and they always know how to make people laugh. Their happiness is contagious, so naturally, their wedding ceremony was full of joy! The whole day was beautiful and I can’t get enough of the flowers, the bridesmaid dresses, and especially Becca’s wedding dress! I can’t wait to share Part 2 of their wedding pictures. Their dinner and reception was so detailed and unique (including a skit and a mummers parade)! I don’t want to ruin it for you, so make sure to check back tomorrow and see the rest!

Yesterday we gave you a preview of the first half of Becca and Steve’s wedding, complete with an intimate first look in the wine cellar and a beautiful ceremony. Today I’m excited to show you the rest of their amazing celebration!
Following the ceremony, they headed to dinner which was was held under a tent at Keswick Hall, lit by cafe lights. The table decorations were perfect and everyone was having a great time. This, however, was no ordinary wedding reception. After a few sweet toasts from their friends, some of the guests, along with Becca and Steve, preformed a hilarious skit! By the end of it, Steve ended up with his princess (Becca!) and it was a happy ending
I love what happened next…Steve’s family is from Philadelphia where they have a New Year’s tradition called a Mummers Parade, which includes fun costumes and music. After the preformance, every guest received a parasol and, led by Big Ray and the Kool Kats, they all paraded onto the dance floor! I love when couples incorporate traditions into their wedding that are unique to them. With the trumpet playing and brightly colored parasols twirling everywhere, they danced their way inside. It was such an awesome sight! Becca and Steve and their guests were not only super fun, but also super fit…they danced non-stop!
Becca and Steve, we had so much fun at your wedding and could not be happier for you two! Thank you for letting us be a part of your day and we wish you all the best!
