Kristen & Alex | Silver Hearth Lodge Wedding Roanoke Virginia Wedding Photographer

You know how sometimes you meet someone, and you just KNOW you are going to get along perfectly?!?!  Seriously, within 5 minutes, I knew Kristen and Alex were going to be lifelong friends!!  Their wedding was in Roanoke Virginia at Silver Hearth Lodge on Bent Mountain…and it was a BLAST!  I absolutely LOVE the way these two are together!  Just in our first meeting, I could tell that they are truly meant for one another!  They build each other up by using each others strengths.   Alex is meticulous with details and making sure everything is running as it should…and Kristen knows exactly how to make Alex not sweat the small stuff.  Alex has an awesome sense of humor…and makes Kristen throw her head back and laugh heartily!  They are both brilliant, fun, beautiful, hilarious, amazing Women…and I am so freakin honored that they chose us to be part of their wedding day….even though I had never seen Doctor Who!  (I will work on my homework Alex, I promise!!)  XOXO you two!!  Thanks again for the amazing day!
