When Jen Fariello sent us this intimate wedding at The Clifton Inn in Charlottesville, Virginia , I have to admit I had a really tough time selecting the pics to use in the feature.

Let me tell you what I love about Jen Fariello, the photographer behind today's great wedding. There is nothing fussy about her photographs. Each image is shot with a clarity that I crave...where you can see the absolute joy in a bride's eye, the sweet details that make a wedding unique, the unabashed happiness in a mother's face. She shoots each wedding as if it's the first she's seen and the result is usually magic.
