Lynchburg, Virginia Fall Wedding || Levi & Chelsea's Wedding at The Trivium Estate

Guys! My wedding season for 2017 wrapped up last weekend and OH MY GOODNESS! It was a perfect wedding to wrap up my year! Chelsea & Levi got married overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains at The Trivium Estate, in Forest, Virginia.  It was a chilly day, but so worth it! The views, the last remaining trees with fall colors- heaven!! They provided blankets, hot chocolate & cider for their guests while they exchanged vows! 

Chelsea & Levi seriously made this wedding 100% theirs! I mean- wait until you see her engagement ring to know that she's not your fully traditional bride, which I loved! They really personalized things to make it exactly what they wanted for their big day! Her bridesmaids all wore different color jewel tones for their dresses, they included their dog Skully in their first look photos, and they even had a cookie table at their reception! 

Levi & Chelsea knew photos were a priority for them, and my goodness were they troopers! As the sun started to set, the chill really set in, but neither of them complained once! We pretty much couldn't feel our fingers by the end of their portrait time, but we all warmed up quickly inside the gorgeous reception hall where all of their guests were dancing and having a blast! 

I am so excited to share these gorgeous photos! Her details, this dress, and their love for each other made this day such a dream for me! Thank you Levi & Chelsea for choosing me and hand designing the perfect wedding day to wrap up my season!! I hope you are having a blast on your winery honeymoon in the mountains!!

Central, Virginia Engagement Session || Mike & Haley

Oh this engagement session was so much fun! Mike & Haley met me in downtown Lynchburg for their session, where we hung out in downtown Lynchburg, Virginia and then headed to the Old City Cemetery for their engagement session.  We had the most perfect weather- I love how warm our Spring has been so far!! It's made this engagement photo season a whole lot more fun- for me at least! I hate bundling up and having freezing cold fingers!

This adorable couple is getting married at The Trivium Estate in just a few weeks, and I'm so excited for them! Their wedding sounds so beautiful with tons of natural elements and lots of friends & family around!

Charlottesville, VA Wedding Photographer || Dannie & Evan's Keswick Vineyard Wedding

I don't think I've ever cried throughout the entire toasts portion of a wedding, but after Evan & Dannie's wedding, I can cross that off my bucket list. These two had so many friends and family around supporting them, and hearing about their unique love story from their best friends was so special.  They had a giant bridal party- you could just tell these two had SO many people there that love and support them! 

Evan & Dannie's wedding day was absolute perfection.  The perfect weather, the most gorgeous venue, and the cutest couple ever! Keswick Vineyards is seriously so stunning. There was a photo-op at every single corner! Their ceremony was stunning, with the fountain and the vineyard as the backdrop! We all headed out right at sunset and had THE most perfect lighting for romantic portraits! We walked throughout the stunning vineyard, and the property before joining their guests for one of the most fun reception parties ever! 

So thankful for all of the fantastic vendors that Dannie choose for her wedding day! This day was absolutely GORGEOUS thanks to all of your hard work!

Rachael and Dave are self-proclaimed wine lovers (my kind of people!) and I was so excited to be able to join them before their wedding at the Keswick Vineyard and Winery.
