Zach & Camille’s Rainy Wedding at The Manor at Airmont | Northern VA Wedding Photographer

Zach and Camille had one of the most charming wedding days at The Manor at Airmont. Despite scattered bouts of heavy rain, they truly made the most of every second and enjoyed a day full of love and warmth surrounded by their dearest relationships.

No bride wants to wake up to forecast of rain on their wedding day. I certainly didn’t, but it poured without ceasing my entire wedding day. But if I learned anything from being a “rain bride” it was that trusting your photographer can still help you achieve gorgeous, colorful, romantic wedding photos no matter the weather. I was determined to give that to sweet Camille and Zach.

Luckily, they planned such happy, colorful, spring details into every part of their day. From Camille’s flower petal embroidered wedding dress to the flowers that the venue owner Natallia and her daughter Aleyna designed, you felt like you were in a sunlit garden despite overcast skies.

Applauding The Manor at Airmont Team

On that note, I have to give a big shoutout to The Manor at Airmont team. Not far from the beautiful towns of Purcellville, Leesburg, and Middleburg, this venue is immaculately kept by the Francis family! Natallia and her husband Anthony were such hospitable hosts. They live on the property with their three children. The family-run operation made everyone not only feel at home, but confident in the service and quality available. You felt like a welcomed guest as they bustled around making every detail perfect. I highly recommend this team and venue to any couple looking for a Northern VA wedding venue.

Emotional Moments and Rain Solutions

Back to Zach and Camille, their day started with a flury of activities to get ready. But soon enough we were having Private First Looks, first with Camille’s dad then with Zach. Camille and her dad barely held back tears as they hugged at their Daddy-Daughter First Look. It was so precious.

And when Zach saw Camille, his entire face brightened! We found just enough of a break in the rain to do their First Look in the open field. They read their vows to one another in private, then welcomed their wedding party over for portraits. But right as I took that first group photo, the rain let loose. We all scurried inside to meet on the porch instead. I stood out in the pouring rain to capture the bridal party standing on the porch to stay dry. I’d do anything to give my clients amazing photos! 🙂

Bonus Tip: If you’re worried about rain on your wedding day, you just need one covered porch or rooms with enough windows to still get beautifully lit images. And download a radar app! I’ll be using one the entire day to find pockets of clear to take you outside and capture outdoor backdrops for your portraits. Flexibility and trust is so key!

Camille wrote a beautiful poem to thank her guests and family. There were many emotional reactions. Probably my favorite “welcome/thank you” speech by the bride and groom!

Every detail of the Madelyn Tenney Events Spring Design Showcase 2025 was pure magic. As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I had the joy of being invited to capture not only the beautifully curated spaces but also the intimate behind-the-scenes moments that made this spring showcase possible. From lush florals to elegant table settings, the event was a treasure trove of spring wedding inspiration for brides dreaming up their perfect day.

Hosted at Nova Studio in the heart of Atlanta, this carefully crafted experience was designed to set the tone for the upcoming wedding season—and it did not disappoint.

Spring Wedding Inspiration for Modern Southern Brides

The design vision for the showcase–Prima Flora–embraced soft pastels, delicate textures, and fresh seasonal styling. Think romantic blush tones, textured linens, and floral-forward installations. Madelyn and her talented team created a setting that felt simultaneously elevated and welcoming. It was truly a perfect exhibition of what sophisticated spring weddings can be in Georgia.

As I arrived early to document the event setup, I was able to photograph the team in their element: adjusting linens, styling stationery, and rehearsing the layout one last time. These behind-the-scenes moments revealed just how much heart went into this event. It’s easy to see why so many brides trust Madelyn Tenney Events to bring their dream weddings to life.

Behind the Scenes with Madelyn Tenney Events

Before the doors opened, I had the privilege of capturing team headshots for the women behind Madelyn Tenney Events. Their energy, collaboration, and vision made it clear this wasn’t just a design showcase—it was a heartfelt celebration of creativity and community.

The environment was buzzing with excitement as florists arranged final stems and vendors fluffed the final cushions. The team’s chemistry was undeniable, and it translated directly into the seamless flow of the event itself.

The Madelyn Tenney Events Spring Design Showcase

At the heart of the showcase were the intentional design vignettes. Each space told a story, offering spring wedding inspiration tailored for modern Southern brides. One standout element was a centerpiece floral installation by Marigo Flowers, assisted by Pollen Floral Company. It floated above a table layered with blush-toned linens from BBJ La Tavola, catching the light beautifully throughout the afternoon.

An eye-catching ice sculpture by Ice Sculpture Inc. ATL added a playful, elevated touch to the scene, while live entertainment from Jewel the Ballerina captivated attendees with ethereal movement, bringing life to the experience. Glasswing Rentals curated tableware that sparkled under the natural light of Nova Studio, and JC Rental Collective and Party Bound contributed pieces that gave each setup personality and polish.

Why This Event Matters for Atlanta Brides

If you’re a bride planning a wedding in Atlanta, Savannah, or North Georgia looking for fresh spring wedding inspiration, events like this one are invaluable. They don’t just showcase trends—they display the talent of local, trustworthy vendors who are passionate about what they do.

Every vendor at this showcase brought their A-game. Seeing each one’s work in person—and getting to document it as a film-inspired wedding photographer—was such an honor.

What I Loved Most as an Atlanta Wedding Photographer

Photographing this spring wedding inspiration at Nova Studio was a dream. The soft filtered light made the colors pop in a way that felt timeless and true-to-color. My goal is always to deliver film-inspired wedding photos that feel both editorial and authentic. The setting created by Madelyn Tenney Events was ideal for that.

Being trusted to document the designs and the passion behind them—team portraits, set-up, genuine laughter—reminds me why I love this work. These are the moments that couples don’t always see. These are the images that reveal the effort, energy, and heart poured into a couple’s day long before they say I do.
