Omni Bedford Springs Resort Wedding

As I’m writing this it’s so freaking cold outside (-16 degrees) that I don’t even want to think about leaving my warm office until spring! But these photos from Lauren and Tom’s Omni Bedford Springs Resort Wedding are warming my heart. The event took place in the middle of summer over the July 4th holiday. It was elegant, beautiful, classy, and filled with fun. Check out some of my favorite images from the day:
