The Virginian Hotel Wedding || Emily's Bridal Portraits

Oh I have been so excited to share Emily’s bridal portraits with you guys! We took these back when hurricane Florence was hitting the east coast, and everyone’s wedding and portrait plans got thrown for a loop! So we last minute changed up some plans and took her bridal portraits at The Virginian Hotel in downtown Lynchburg.

It was THE perfect place for her portraits- Emily made such a classy bride- the marble staircase at The Virginian was just the perfect backdrop! AND the rain held off so we were able to head outside for a few, and explore some of the other rooms in Virginian (how cool is their library?!)

Thanks again Emily for trusting me with these portraits for you! You are such a stunning bride!

Downtown Lynchburg, Virginia Engagement Session || Gabe & Meg

OH MY GOODNESS is downtown Lynchburg showing off this Spring!! It kept us waiting for so long- now that it finally seems to be here, it wants everyone to know! Hopefully that means the warmer weather is here to stay!! 

I was so excited to meet up with Gabe and Meg downtown this week for their engagement session! These two are getting married in October at Sorella Farms in Evington & I cannot wait! We had such a great time chatting & getting to know each other during their photo session! I love engagement sessions so much for this very reason! By the time the wedding comes along, we are all great friends & past that getting to know you stage so we can really have fun and celebrate together!!

Jim & Jennifer: Lynchburg, Virginia

I am so excited for Jim & Jennifer's wedding. They are getting married this Fall at The Trivium Estates,  in Lynchburg, Virginia.  They are such a fun couple, have an adorable dog, they love to dress up ;) and they are super laid back.  Jim & Jennifer live out of town, but grew up in the Lynchburg area and drove out for their session. About an hour before we were meeting for their session, it started POURING- thundering, and lightening.  So awful!  Jennifer texted me and said they were on their way, but she wished she brought her rain boots! Luckily, she's the same size as me and I grabbed my pair on the way out the door! 

We had a few minutes of sprinkles, and then it turned into a gorgeous evening, and it even cooled down the 90 degree day! They brought their adorable pup, Bijou along with them and we had so much fun! We met at Percival's Isle and then headed to downtown Lynchburg, for a few more shots, and ended the evening over dinner at Waterstone Pizza. yum!

Elyse & Jonathan: Downtown Winchester, VA Engagement Photographer

Jonathan & Elyse are getting married at the First Baptist Church in downtown Winchester and are going to have their reception at the beautiful George Washington Hotel in May.  I first met Elyse at her brother's wedding (remember the beautiful Missy?!) I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I remember loving Elyse's gorgeous long hair! She has this way of mastering the perfect natural wave- something I am so jealous of! I was so excited she called me earlier this year for her wedding- I love working with brides and feel so honored to get referrals from my previous clients! 

I fell in LOVE with downtown Winchester when Michael & I headed out to shoot Elyse & Jonathan's engagement session. It was so adorable- even in the middle of winter- with the freezing temps! There were SO many places to stop for adorable pictures! And can I just tell you how much of a trooper Elyse is? It was freeeeeezing out- and she rocked her dresses! Can't even tell she's cold! My hero! We walked down the mall to the church where they will be getting married- it's beeeeautiful by the way! SO excited! And enjoyed Thai dinner and chatting all about their upcoming wedding day! Enough talk... enjoy their beautiful engagement session photos!
