Emily & J.C. | A Doe Creek Farm, Burlap Wedding: Pembroke, VA Wedding Photographer

When I first met Emily and J.C. last year at Starbucks for their consultation…I knew immediately that I couldn’t wait for their wedding day. They were telling me about the music that they wanted to play and it was right up my alley. Over the last year Emily and I talked about all the details of her wedding and I have been so impressed.  Emily handmade so much of her burlap wedding décor is still amazes me. Boot bands, centerpieces, bouquets and bouts all made by her and her mom…I have to say that I honestly don’t think I have the patience for that. But she did it and it looked beautiful!

Emily and J.C. had so many personal touches to the day. Their pre-wedding gifts to each other…um, wow! I didn’t get to see it since he gave it to her at the reception dinner but J.C. hand crafted a hope chest for Emily to keep mementos from their new life together in, can you say sweet? But on the day of the wedding, she gave him a beautiful personalized key chain and customized his tie with a sweet little note. And he gave her a bracelet that captured a part of their life together…a policeman’s hat. You see, not only is J.C. handy with creating wooden chest but he is a State Trooper that serves and protects. 

A lot of the people following this wedding know Emily from her journey of weight loss and how she started an inspirational fitness Facebook page...Emily Vaught Fitness. And I am pretty sure all of them are just as proud of her as I am! But along with her fitness page Emily is going to start making burlap wedding decor for other peoples special life moments, so make sure you check out Autumn & Lace.

I can’t describe how happy I was to witness these two getting married, it was such an honor. 

CONGRATULATIONS Emily and J.C.
