Caitlyn and Russell were married at The Homestead and we really enjoyed our time with them. This is a quick sneak peak of Caitlyn walking down the steps of one of our nations most historic properties, dating back to 1776. It was really nice for us to showcase the inside of the venue as Caitlyn descended, just before her nuptials.

Borrowed – my parents ring pillow, I love it! And my aunt’s diamond earrings. She passed away in February and we’re all still missing her very much. My uncle is letting me borrow the rings to wear for the wedding.
Something old – my grandmother’s pearl bracelet. The clasp is a little bit broken but I love it and wanted something of hers for the wedding day.
I’m also really into my shoes and all the groomsmen, ushers. Etc. have really cool socks.

We would love to know a little bit about the two of you (How you met, the proposal, your line of work, etc.):
We met when we were both students at The University of South Carolina. Russell proposed in our kitchen on a snowy Monday night in February, despite picking the ring up that day and claiming he was going to wait two weeks to do it, the ring was burning a pull in his pocket so he did it that night! Although we hope to return to VA or South Carolina one day, we both live in NYC. Russell works at a tech startup and until recently I worked at a PR/marketing agency. I handed in my two weeks notice about a month before the wedding with the hopes of finding out what I really want to do with my life (stay tuned for what that actually is!)
