2019 Fall Mini Sessions || Family Photos at The Trivium Estate in Forest, VA

Now that Christmas Cards have been sent, I finally feel safe to share these photos! I hate to be the one that shares THE Christmas Card photo before the family gets to share them! In October, I hosted a fall-themed mini session day at The Trivium Estate, and oh my gosh, I love the final images so much!

I really wanted a neutral fall theme (no surprise there from this neutral-loving girl!) with whites, creams, sage greens, and slight touches of an orange! It turned out exactly as I was envisioning, and even though it rained that morning, the sun ended up coming out and we had a GREAT time! I can’t wait to make this an annual family photos event!

BIG Thank you to The Trivium Estate for allowing us to shoot mini sessions at their gorgeous Forest, Virginia venue and to Foraged & Cut for supplying eucalyptus to help complete the look!

Engagement Session at The Trivium Estate || Noah & Allie's engagement photos

I’m playing catch up from the past few months of photos that I wasn’t able to share in the midst of my busy season! It’s so much fun to look over older sessions again!

I am SO excited for Noah & Allie’s wedding this upcoming Fall! I met Allie a few years ago at The Trivium Estate, and now it’s her turn & I cannot wait! Is she not going to make the most gorgeous bride or what?! For their engagement session, we had a gorgeous warm fall day, and met at The Trivium Estate in Forest, VA for their photos! I loved getting to know Noah more and chat upcoming wedding details and plans! Can’t wait for their big day!!

Ross & Shelley: A Trivium Estate Wedding in Goode, Virginia

Shelley is one of those brides that I wish I could clone! She's so sweet & laid back, absolutely gorgeous and cannot take a bad picture! Walking into the bridal suite that morning, her and her friends were getting ready together, laughing and so joyful for their friends! There wasn't any tension or nervousness in the room, at all! Even as she stepped into her elegant gown and the clouds started rolling in, she took it in stride and made the call to move the ceremony to the backup plan. One of the great things about The Trivium Estate is that their ballroom is so beautiful, even with having to move to an indoor ceremony, you're getting a gorgeous setting! 

After the ceremony, we grabbed some clear umbrellas and headed outside. Luckily, the rain ended up stopping and we laughed and enjoyed our portrait time together. After dinner, we ducked quickly outside for a few minutes and were greeted with a gorgeous sunset overlooking the Peaks of Otter Mountains.

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!!

Weekend Update || Wrapping Up my 2017 Wedding Season

I am SO excited to have wrapped up my 2017 Wedding Season this past weekend! I LOVE my job, but look forward to a break, especially after the busy season and it's been almost two months without a weekend off! 

On Friday, I second shot with the oh so talented Lindsay Fauver at Stone Tower Winery! It was SO beautiful there! I just have this shot I grabbed with my cell phone, but someone please hire me to shoot their wedding there! So stunning!  While we were in the Leesburg area, we hit up the outlets and enjoyed some family time away! I love little getaway trips like this where we can spend some time together as a family! AND I'm super thankful for Michael driving us home after the wedding so I can be well-rested and ready for my Saturday wedding! 

Then on Saturday- oh my goodness Saturday! My last wedding for the year! It was everything I needed the end of the season to be! The sweetest Bride & Groom, a unique wedding & everyone having such a blast! I cannot wait to share the blog post from this one!! 

We're still not in the clear for busy season, and we've got lots and lots to share coming up! But yay for weddings wrapping up for 2017!
