Matt + Jordon: A September Wedding at the Preserve at Crooked Run | Virginia Wedding Photographer

Tucked away in the heart of Virginia’s countryside, where the trees whisper in the breeze and the creek flows softly nearby into the lake, Jordon & Matt’s September wedding at The Preserve at Crooked Run was nothing short of different. Having traveled for their destination wedding, their black-tie dress code and handmade signage made it the kind of wedding that made you stop and soak in every little detail.

And speaking of details, their wedding was the perfect mix of understated elegance and modern romance. White florals kept things classic, while delicate bows were everywhere—from the bridesmaids’ dresses to the handmade oyster name tags at dinner, tying (literally) everything together. Jordon was a vision in her sleek, timeless gown, and Matt? Well, let’s just say he gave James Bond a run for his money in his sharp black tux. But the most intimate part of the day? Their private cocktail hour by the creek. Just the two of them, a quiet toast away from the crowd, taking in the weight of the moment before the night kicked off.

And oh, did it kick off! A candlelit reception, heartfelt speeches, and a dance floor that stayed packed until the very last song. If you’re looking for the dreamiest countryside wedding inspiration, Jordon & Matt’s day at The Preserve at Crooked Run was absolute perfection.
