Cat's Bridal: Bedford, Virginia Bridal Portraits

It was POURING as I drove out to meet Cat and her Mom at The Historic Avenel in Bedford, Virginia. Is there a word for more than pouring? Because that's exactly what it felt like! I was certain I was going to make it to the venue and we would have to reschedule, or do all the photos inside. The Avenel is beautiful inside, so we could have totally made it work, but the outside is beyond gorgeous! But, oh my goodness, it was meant to be because as I pulled onto Avenel Avenue, the rain stopped and the sun started shining! It turned into a beautiful evening- not too warm, the light! It was a night meant to be photographed! I loved it! Cat looked absolutely gorgeous in her bridal gown, and we had so much fun around the gorgeous property! 

Venue: The Historic Avenel in Bedford, Virginia

Bedford, Virginia Wedding Photographer: John & Loran's Wedding Day

I love weddings where the joy of the day just radiates throughout the entire event! Everyone from family members and guests to the officiant to the vendors! John & Loran's wedding day was exactly that! Everyone was SO excited for them, their own happiness was felt by everyone! 

John & Loran got married at The Historic Avenel in Bedford, Virginia. Bedford is just a short drive from the Lynchburg, Virginia area, and has some amazing wedding venues, including the beautiful Avenel! This historical home has some amazing significance to  the groom, and it was so awesome to take photos in and around the bushes he grew up playing hide and seek in! 

John & Loran have 2 little boys and they truly make the most adorable family!! I mean- look at these beautiful boys!!! <3 

LORAN!!!! You are such a stunning bride!!! I agree with you that you HAVE to wear this dress every single day of your life!!! 

Thanks so much John & Loran for having me be a part of your amazing day! We LOVED being such a part of your day!!
