A Football-Themed Fall Wedding in Culpeper, VA | Mountain Run Winery

Ginger and Joe are just a couple of football fans in love ❤ They got married on a beautiful fall day at Mountain Run Winery in Culpeper and I love how they incorporated their football passion into their big day. The invitations, programs, and guestbook were all football-themed, and they even entered into the reception to the NFL theme song!

I knew from their engagement session (check it out here) just how fun these two were, so I was not at all surprised when their wedding day involved lots of laughter, an amazing dance floor, and even a moon bounce!

Their adorable pup Cody was a big part of the wedding day, and he even stayed through the whole reception! Get ready for lots of cute dog pictures.

Ginger and Joe wanted to do a First Look No Peek (where they stand back-to-back but don't see each other). So Joe was equipped with one of the bridesmaid's shawls to make sure he didn't accidentally see Ginger!

Joe waited with his back to the aisle until he knew Ginger was there - I always love catching the moment of the groom's reaction, and this was such a fun way to do it!
