A Dog Friendly Styled Shoot at Belle Garden Estate | Virginia Wedding Venue

Virginia Wedding Venue | Virginia Wedding Photographer | Outdoor Wedding Venue

Nestled on a back road, not far from Roanoke, Virginia is this stunning historical outdoor wedding venue. Previously known as Katherine Grace Manor, this Virginia wedding venue has not only a new owner but a new name. Now known as Belle Garden Estate, it continues to evolve into one of the best Virginia wedding venues I can personally recommend to clients. It’s full of personality, clean open space, offers accommodations and more, but my favorite aspect is that it’s dog friendly!

It might sound minuscule, but being a Virginia wedding photographer and dog owner has opened my eyes to a lot but especially this. Very few Virginia wedding venues promote they allow dogs on their property. When planning this styled wedding shoot at Belle Garden Estate, this was the main focus. To show just how much every family member can be involved on the best day ever! From the custom invitations, to cutting the cake (yep, keep scrolling), this elegant & bright styled shoot truly displayed this outdoor wedding venue to the fullest!

Along with including the pups, we focused on creating a clean, crisp color palette to accentuate the natural beauty of the estate. The simple yet intricateness of Emily’s A line dress had our jaws dropping & believe me, these pictures do not do it justice! With a fitted beaded under layer and an intricate bodice, her dress had our eyes dancing from one detail to another while Keaton complimented her with a fresh clean suit. To include them even more, the pups even fashioned their own floral collars before they figured out they could chew them up… let me tell you, we were on our toes the entire time!

For sentimental reasons, we tried to make this styled shoot feel as real as possible for Emily & Keaton. What could have taken a couple hours ended up being an entire day full of reflective moments, stolen kisses and sweet laughter. From beginning to end, in the house or in the pavilion, every vendor and detail played their part to make this Virginia wedding venue stand out!
