The Chapel at the University of Virginia, dedicated in 1889, no longer holds regular religious services, but is a popular site for weddings in Charlottesville... especially amongst students, alumni and anyone with a warm spot in their hearts for the University. This weekend I performed a beautiful ceremony in the Chapel for Mark and Annie, the couple you see pictured here. They had the chapel decorated with candles which gave it a warm and seasonal glow. Annie & Mark had spent time together at UVA, and having their family and friends experience a place that was so special in their history was very important to them.

The Chapel is just adjacent to the historic Rotunda, built as part of Thomas Jefferson's original academical village. The area right around the outside of the Chapel, the Rotunda and The Lawn, all provide beautiful and historic backdrops for photos and Mark and Annie enjoyed and took advantage of the beauty all around them before heading up to Veritas Vineyard for their reception.
