Kendra and Chris were married on a beautifully sunny September day at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, one of the most iconic and luxurious wedding venues in the state. Known for its timeless interiors, grand architecture, and rich history, The Greenbrier created an unforgettable backdrop for a wedding day filled with thoughtful details, refined style, and elegant celebration.

The day began with a calm and beautifully curated morning as Kendra prepared for the celebration ahead. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, reflecting her impeccable taste and elevated vision for the day. She gifted her bridesmaids luxurious pieces, including Chanel gifts and signature red-bottom pumps, setting the tone for a wedding that felt sophisticated from the very beginning. To complete her bridal look, Kendra flew in a hair and makeup team from Canada, ensuring she remained polished, radiant, and picture-perfect throughout the entire wedding day.

Kendra and Chris exchanged vows in The Greenbrier Chapel, a beloved ceremony location at the resort and a beautiful setting for such a meaningful moment. The chapel was decorated to perfection by Gillespie’s Events and Floral, whose floral design and styling added romance and softness to the already elegant space. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple’s ceremony felt timeless, heartfelt, and beautifully in keeping with the classic atmosphere of a Greenbrier wedding.

It was such a meaningful pause in the day—an intimate, quiet moment for the two of them to take in the significance of what had just happened before the celebration continued. Private first dances always bring a unique kind of emotion to a wedding day, and theirs was especially memorable in the elegant setting of The Greenbrier.

Afterward, we stepped outside for portraits at the front of the resort, where Kendra and Chris posed with a vintage car in honor of the classic history of The Greenbrier. These portraits were such a fitting tribute to the property’s enduring legacy and old-world charm. With the resort’s iconic exterior behind them and the vintage car completing the scene, the images felt elegant, editorial, and unmistakably tied to the history and beauty of this West Virginia wedding venue.

It was such a fun and unexpected addition to the day, and a perfect way to lean into the nostalgic charm and one-of-a-kind experience The Greenbrier is known for. Moments like that made the day feel not only luxurious, but deeply personal.
