If you’re a fan of timeless wedding traditions and charming vintage decor, you’re in for a treat. Alexandra and Porter’s wedding day had all the trappings of a refined southern soiree. The Country Club of Virginia Westhampton served as a fitting setting for their special moments. There’s so much inspiration to draw from this wedding day. It’s especially inspiring if you are looking for ways to plan an intimate feel to pair to luxury wedding tastes.

Impactful Wedding Planning for an Intimate-Feel Event

Alexandra and Porter proved on their special day that tastefully planned details can make such an impact in small decisions. First, the bride and groom’s attire nodded toward traditional formality with little fuss. Alexandra’s simple ballgown with a plush satin bow on the back fit her so beautifully. It complimented Porter’s black-tie tux paired with a white dinner jacket to bring the style up to a new level.

Their florals, mostly leaning into lush white hydrangeas and blue delphiniums, made such beautiful statements inside porcelain chinoiserie vases.

The wedding reception was set as a cocktail & hors d’oeuvres format. I loved how it allowed guests the option to sit or stand and mingle! Food was served at different buffet stations throughout the spacious ballroom. All was capped off with servings from the couple’s all white lambeth wedding cake.

Golden Hour Portraits at Country Club of Virginia Westhampton Wedding

But if you know me at all, you know what I loved most was our portrait time. Porter and Alexandra just glowed — not just in beauty but in love! They were so delightful to work with. And they did anything they could to follow along with us to get the shots we were envisioning. They had full faith in us, which helped us produce some of the dreamiest golden hour portraits!

Their beaming attitudes were contagious, and made their wedding feel so personal. I had the absolute pleasure working with them as their second shooter (shooting alongside my sweet friend Stacie of Marshall Arts Photography). I am proud to share some of my favorite captures from the day! If you want to read more about the couple, check out Stacie’s blog post.
