Aaren & Michael's Boho Inspired Wedding

You wouldn’t know it from looking at these images, but Aaren and Michael’s wedding day was up in the air because they were married the weekend of Hurricane Florence (lots of flooding & power outage concerns). In the end there was only about 30 minutes of rain on their wedding day! Because the forecast was much worse we ended up doing a first look and some of their portraits on the Thursday before their wedding.

It was so much fun, and such a relief for Aaren to get some of the images she wanted done before the big day so she could be stress free about the rain. These images are a mix of some taken on Thursday and others taken on the day of Aaren and Michael’s wedding.

Katriel & Grant's Classic Wedding

Kat & Grant were married a perfect June day in Virginia at the Trivium Estate. The beautiful outdoor ceremony gave way to a ballroom reception. I loved Kat's all-lace dress with her classic veil. She lit up every room she was in with the most contagious smile. This was such a great day filled with many happy tears! I feel so privileged I was able to capture your day Kat & Grant! 

Ps: They also had the coolest getaway car (scroll down to see it!)

Avery & Tyler's Garden Wedding

Avery & Tyler were married on a beautiful July afternoon at Glencliff Manor in Central Virginia. Avery's bridal look perfectly matched the garden feel at the venue. I couldn't stop taking portraits of her, she was so stunning! The entire wedding was outdoors, including the first dance and dinner. An all-around perfect day. Congrats Avery & Tyler!

Brensley & Matt's Sierra Vista Wedding

Brensley & Matt's wedding day was extra special for me because I've known Brensley since the beginning of her and Matt's dating relationship. I've seen it grow, and I know them each individually and as a power couple. Their wedding day was just as amazing as they are!

And of course Sierra Vista has one of those views you can't compete with, so the whole day was surrounded by one of the best backdrops around. Many happy tears were cried. Congrats you two!

Milka & Christopher's Tea Room Engagement

When Milka & Christopher wanted to do an engagement session over a hot cup of tea I jumped at the idea. The Ploughcroft Tea Room in Lynchburg, Virginia is one of the places they visited for dates, giving it special significance in these photos. I love trying to incorporate pieces of a couple's story into their session! After tea we headed to the park for a gorgeous sunset accompanied by some wine.
