Elopement at Walden Hall | Reva, VA | Michelle and Ryan

Michelle and Ryan had the sweetest elopement at Walden Hall in Reva, Virginia ❤️️ Located near Culpeper on 10 acres of rolling farmland in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Walden Hall is the perfect wedding venue for elopements and bigger wedding celebrations alike! Michelle and Ryan stayed in the main manor house, which also has room to accommodate up to overnight 18 guests. And the beautiful rustic barn can host wedding receptions up to 200 guests.

But with just the two of them and their officiant, Michelle and Ryan had the entire property to themselves! We had so much fun exploring the stunning grounds of Walden Hall on this incredible spring day. It was the perfect Virginia elopement!

Michelle got ready in Walden Hall’s gorgeous Walt Whitman bridal suite. She FaceTimed with friends and family members as she got ready, which is always a fun way to include the people who can’t be present for your wedding in person. I love how big her smile was when she finally got to see herself in the full length mirror!

One of my favorite views for a wedding - the Walden Pond! And these two had the sweetest ceremony and were cracking each other up the entire time. I love it when the photos are full of giant smiles and laughter!
