Ben + Lyndsay: An Elegant Summer West Manor Estate Wedding + Virginia Wedding Photographer + Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

There’s something to be said about a wedding like Ben and Lyndsay’s West Manor Estate wedding. The entire day was simply spectacular in ways we never expected it to be. Of course, Entwined Events did a magnificent job on decor, as usual. West Manor Estate was stunning, as usual. Ben, Lyndsay, their families, and their friends were an incredibly fun group to be around, and I gushed over Ben’s chivalrous love for Lyndsay and just how gracious of a woman she is at all times. But the one thing that wasn’t ” as usual” for this West Manor Estate wedding. It was all the things that just made so many people go, “Wow. I can’t believe…” or “Did you see…?!”

The forecast said rain. In fact, the radar posted up red on phone screens, and it should have been downpouring. It said it was raining. There was wind. It smelled like rain. The sky was a dark, ominous grey-blue, and it flooded five minutes down the road from their wedding, and yet…

…not an ounce of rain came down on them. 

There were rainbows.

There were gorgeous flocks of birds overhead as they said their vows. It thundered. Loudly.

There was lighting.

Ben and Lynsday’s West Manor Estate wedding was filled with beautiful, momentous symbols of hope, faith, and promise, and it couldn’t have been for a more perfect couple than them. Thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of your day. It was truly a blessing to hear the testimonies and promises you made to one another, and I pray that your life is full of the blessings a love like yours deserves!
