Andrea and Matthew’s Black Horse Manor Wedding was the definition of a romantic garden dream brought to life. Located in Virginia, just a short drive from Washington, DC, Black Horse Manor offers a perfect mix of elegance and natural beauty. The venue’s manicured lawns, white columns, and lush surroundings create a peaceful retreat away from the city, ideal for couples who want an intimate celebration surrounded by greenery and light.
From a photographer’s point of view, this venue is a treasure. The ceremony space is filled with soft natural light that pours through large windows, while the garden exteriors are lined with tall trees and colorful blooms that make every photo glow. Our Washington, DC. wedding photographers love how Black Horse Manor combines classic architecture with the gentle charm of the outdoors. It gives us endless opportunities to capture soft, airy wedding photography that feels timeless and romantic.
Andrea and Matthew’s story began when two friends set them up on a blind date three years ago and they immediately clicked. After just six months, they moved in together, and the rest was history. Their wedding was designed to reflect that same effortless connection. With a theme of “lush romantic garden,” the couple chose deep forest green as their main color, complemented by soft blush and lavender tones. Sweet peas and garden roses filled the ceremony arch and reception tables, creating a floral atmosphere straight out of a storybook.
The ceremony took place indoors, surrounded by greenery and warm candlelight, followed by a joyful celebration in the grand ballroom. Guests enjoyed laughter, dancing, and heartfelt toasts as the evening unfolded. Our professional wedding photographer captured every detail, from the blooming arrangements to the intimate glances shared between the newlyweds. Every image tells a story of joy, romance, and timeless beauty.
