May weddings in Virginia are always beautiful, but this one at The Osprey’s at Belmont Bay was truly something special. From the warm spring light pouring over the waterfront views to the vibrant cultural elements and the most fun dance floor I’ve seen all year, it was a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable energy.
The ceremony took place at The Osprey’s outdoor ceremony space, with the Occoquan River in the background and soft light illuminating the couple. After saying “I do,” they surprised their guests with a quick outfit change, stepping into a bold red ensemble that honored the bride’s cultural heritage and added a pop of color to their portraits.
The reception space was just as dreamy: soft spring florals, romantic red accents, and a soft sunset that made golden hour portraits so romantic. If you’re dreaming of a waterfront wedding venue in Northern Virginia with both charm and flexibility, The Osprey’s at Belmont Bay is an amazing option. The willow tree was such a perfect spot for many of the portraits!
After a sweet, slow first dance, the couple kicked things off with a surprise choreographed number that had everyone cheering—and then launched straight into a high-energy dance floor that never slowed down. One of the most memorable moments? Everyone singing along to “Love Story” and “Hey Stephen” (yes, the groom’s name is Steven!)—an iconic moment that perfectly captured the joy and connection of the night.
