I had not had the pleasure of photographing an outdoor ceremony at Stonegate Mansion before, but the site coordinator assured me the light would be magical. And it was just that.

Valery’s & Matt’s deep purple theme (with touches of black and white) was carried out through the entire wedding, from the sign in table to the unity candle.
