A beautiful October Wedding in Yorktown, VA

Laura and Joseph (JK) Calafiore were married on October 10, 2015 in Yorktown, Va. at the Freight Shed. She works for Property Management at Falcon Creek Luxury Apartments and JK works for the Shipyard.

Laura and JK met on a blind date on New Year's Eve in 2012 through the website Plenty of Fish, and had such great conversation that they decided to meet again. They talked for about three months before anything was official. Once JK met Laura's 4-year old daughter, Ellie, she knew right away that he loved her as if she was his own.

After 14 months of dating, they began to speak a lot about marriage and knew it would be the best thing for Ellie, too. In April 2014, JK proposed by taking Laura out to dinner at the same place where they first met. He turned to Laura and asked, "How would you like to spend forever with me?" And the rest is history!

After the engagement, the couple decided that October 2015 would be the perfect date. Laura's sister had told her about the Yorktown Freight Shed at Riverwalk Landing in Historic Yorktown and this was the only venue Laura and JK looked at! She fell in love with it the moment she saw the space.

Originally, Laura's heart was set on the colors Black, Gold and Champagne. Once meeting with Arlene at Morrison's Flowers (which she found through The Knot), a new vision emerged. Arlene recommended navy, a popular color for fall, with orange. Laura then began to have so many ideas with these great colors... Navy and Orange!

After 18 months of planning, Laura's vision finally came true. She said, "All my vendors did an absolute wonderful job! I could not have asked for a better day. I'm so happy and the pictures I have will be a constant memory of how wonderful that day truly was!"
