Briar Patch B&B Wedding

VA WEDDINGS

Just Patchy

Briar Patch B&B Wedding I The couple poses at sunset during cocktail hour in Middleburg, VA.

As anyone who has driven through the town of Clifton knows, it has a serious amount of allure. From the many homes with charming facades to the old-time General Store, one can easily appreciate the rustic appeal. I photographed Allie & Mark’s engagement session in the small town last year, as they were all about the pastoral backdrop (we even got to induldge in the ice cream at Peterson’s Ice Cream Depot – YES!), so I was eager to see what they had up their sleeves for their Briar Patch B&B wedding.

Allie & Mark brought the same rustic feel with them, with everything from Mason jars to antique furniture. This strikes a chord with Katye and I … we had Mason jars all over the place at our wedding in ’08, and we often say that next time we get married, (to each other of course) it’ll be at The Briar Patch. Congrats to Mark & Allie for a great party (and great taste)!
