Claire & Connor

Claire & Connor’s wedding felt like it stepped right out of a Nancy Meyers film—charming, polished, and full of heart. On a beautiful August day in Charlottesville, VA, their story unfolded across two iconic locations: the timeless elegance of Farmington Country Club and the newly renovated UVA Chapel. Claire got ready in the light-filled rooms of Farmington, with the soft hum of anticipation and laughter among her closest people. Connor, dressed to perfection, was counting down the minutes until he could see her — and when he finally did, there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.

Their first look was one of those quiet, emotional moments that says everything without words. And Claire’s first look with her father? Pure magic — His face lit up with such pride and amazement, you could almost hear Steve Martin’s voice from Father of the Bride saying, “You look like you belong in a movie.”
The ceremony at UVA Chapel was also filled with sentiment, being where Claire’s parents and sister were married before her, and there was a gentle beauty in carrying on that tradition. 

Back at Farmington, guests enjoyed an elegant cocktail hour on the lawn — held rain-free thanks to some planner magic from Details & Lace! Blue Ridge Floral created arrangements that were soft, stunning, and sophisticated. The specialty bar brought a touch of glam, and somewhere in the mix… a spontaneous celebrity sighting? Only at a party like this.

But perhaps the most anticipated moment: the first dance. Claire and Connor had practiced their choreographed routine to perfection, and when the music started, they absolutely glided across the floor. It was graceful, joyful, and the kind of moment you’ll want to replay again and again.
