Stunning Ellenbrook Mansion Wedding

Danielle Defayette Photography Ellenbrook Estate Wedding 21

Summer Ellenbrook Mansion Wedding in Lebannon, Virginia

Miranda and Stephen met on a blind date at this cute little Soda Shoppe in Abingdon. She hadn’t really wanted to go, but somehow she found herself sitting across from the man of her dreams. Since then they’ve laughed and loved, which was exactly how they spent their wedding day!

We came to the elusive Ellenbrook Mansion wedding in the mountains of Lebannon, Virginia for their first look. It could not have been a more beautiful backdrop for their wedding portraits! There was just the right touch of fall for late September and it was definitely a ton of fun watching Miranda twirl in the leaves! They tied the knot at Lebanon Community Fellowship Church and partied the night away at the nearby Russell County Community Center.

Stunning Ellenbrook Mansion Wedding Photos

This beautiful estate nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains is the perfect spot for a Ellenbrook Mansion wedding full of Southern charm. With a gorgeous white brick manor featuring high ceilings, big windows, and lots of natural light–you can’t go wrong with photos here! The house also has a massive garden behind the house, which is the perfect spot for bridal portraits and couple photos. We took Miranda and Stephen’s bridal party portraits out in the sprawling fields adjacent to the mansion, which had panoramic mountain views for days!

Thank you for subscribing!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.
