There’s a line from a special song that says, “If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down.” That lyric beautifully reflects the foundation of MaKayla and Josh’s marriage—their unwavering faith, their deep commitment, and their joyful love for one another. Their wedding day at Four Winds at North Mountain was nothing short of breathtaking, filled with laughter, tears, and the kind of moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.
The Venue: Four Winds at North Mountain
Nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Four Winds provided the perfect backdrop for MaKayla and Josh’s “I do.” The sweeping mountain views, rustic charm, and open skies gave their day a serene and timeless feel. From their heartfelt first touch by the barn doors to their emotional vows exchanged under a flower-draped wooden cross, every moment felt deeply intentional and rooted in love.
A Ceremony of Faith and Love
The ceremony was as moving as it was beautiful. Guests watched as MaKayla, radiant in her gown from Ashley Grace Bridal, walked down the aisle toward her groom. Surrounded by absolutely stunning florals by Honeybee’s Florist Staunton and the natural beauty of the mountains, their vows were a true reflection of their faith and devotion.
One of the most touching details was the way their families and friends leaned into the celebration—smiles, joyful tears, and applause filled the air as the couple sealed their marriage with a kiss.
Sentimental Details
One of the most meaningful touches was the bride’s bouquet charm, a tribute to family legacy and love. Details like these are what make a wedding truly personal and unforgettable.
Their beloved dogs also played a part in the celebration, adding warmth and uniqueness to the photos—a perfect reflection of the couple’s personalities.
Portraits in the Pastures
After the ceremony, MaKayla and Josh stole away for portraits in the rolling pastures. The sky was dark with storms but resulted in perfectly lit, romantic moments. Surrounded by horses grazing under open skies, the images perfectly capture their love in its most natural, romantic form. It felt like a scene from a movie—peaceful, pure, and deeply moving.
