Market at Grelen Photos | Charlottesville Engagement Photos

Before you scroll through Andrew and Jordan’s engagement session at Market at Grelen… Let me give you some context. It was mid-day, 90+ degrees, and Andrew was wearing his SUIT the entire time. When I say my AE Brides and Grooms are the BEST, I mean it. I’m just amazed. I was sweating so much my mascara was starting to run and these two looked like they stepped out of a magazine.

Before engagement sessions, I send my couples a little style guide for suggestions and help with putting together outfits. I don’t know about you but I always struggle with what to wear so this guide helps lessen some of that stress. You’d be surprised how much of a difference your outfit can make when it comes to photos! Andrew and Jordan followed the guide to a T!!! I LOVE IT!!

Okay now let’s get ready to scroll through some dreamy photos. I am so glad we ended up Market at Grelen. There is ENDLESS variety all around the venue. This location reminded me of how grateful I am to live where I do, there are so many Charlottesville engagement photo locations!

Two whole hours flew by and we didn’t even hit all of the locations!!! Some of my favorite photos are by the row of pretty blooms. I tried to stay near pinkish flowers so that the photos match Andrew and Jordan’s wedding colors (little tip: incorporate your wedding colors into your outfit so they match your wedding photos)!

 

Andrew and Jordan, thank you so much for making the drive to Charlottesville and for dealing with the heat!! I can’t wait for next July at Alturira Farm!

A huge thank you to The Market at Grelen for letting us walk all over the wedding venue!!! If you’re close to Charlottesville, it’s only a easy 30-minute drive. Next time I need to take a look in their garden shop (tons of cute decor)!
