On a Saturday that was forecast to be filled with downpours and storms, Nissa and Mike hoped for the best. Better than best; what they got was a gorgeous mountain side wedding day, filled with perfectly soft light and plenty of love to go around. Nissa had planned a ceremony that was not only was it one of the sweetest we’ve ever seen, she made it look effortless. We know and love Nissa from our days in art school, and true to form, her wedding was nothing short of magical. 
We started our afternoon exploring the enchanting property they reserved for the weekend. Words can’t describe what a gem this location is: both elegant and modern, the building feels like it was always meant to be a part of the landscape. (you can read more about it’s sustainability and history here). 
Nissa & Mike, we feel so lucky that you chose us to photograph such an enchanting day!
The locations were endless; we could have photographed this sweet couple for hours!
Nissa’s handmade floral crown was the perfect touch.
With the rain holding off, Nissa and Mike were able to hold their ceremony in a small clearing in the woods. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, it felt like moment straight out of a fairy tale…
The sweeping mountain views were breathtaking to behold…
Beautiful wedding rings; we especially love the details on Nissa’s wedding band!
Nissa & Mike spoiled their guests with a delicious meal served on vintage oak family style tables, and of course, plenty of wine!
We have to leave you with a photo these adorable wedding crashers we caught on our way out!
Nissa & Mike, we wish you a million happy years together!

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for some much for this post – I’m recently engaged, live in DC, and trying to get married outdoors and on a budget and these pictures feel like a meant-to-be find for me. Do you know how many people they had at the wedding / how they worked out hosting the wedding at the AirBNB… If possible, I’d love to get in touch with Nissa if it’s OK with you and of course with her.
did the place come with a Tent and tables? this is super gorgeous….. Love everything. Pictures truly captured everything
Wow what an amazing house and I LOVE her dress. So gorgeous!
What a unique idea for a wedding venue!! Love it!!
