Geoff & Genna: Afton Mountain Engagement at Blue Toad Cidery

Blue Toad Cidery in Roseland, Virginia

Oh man did I have so much fun with Geoff & Genna at their engagement session! I think we spent most of our time together just laughing like the oldest friends! I cannot wait for their wedding this fall- it’s going to be so much fun!

We started their session including their sweet fur babies at her Mom’s house in Roseland, Virginia and then headed over to the Blue Toad Cidery- with the most beautiful stream and champagne toast! I am not lying when I said we had the best time! We chased the light and I shot her ring details after sunset! We had so much fun!

Cannot wait for y’alls Bold Rock Cider Wedding this Fall! If your engagement session was that much fun, I know your wedding is going to be a blast!!

Bullock Family: Lynchburg, Virginia Family Photographer

Oh I am so excited to share this sweet family with you today! The Bullocks are our neighbors and we are so excited for them as they have welcomed their sweet little guy into the family! He is so sweet and oh so precious! And their daughter is just THE best big sister! We had so much fun getting some updated family photos for them at The Trivium Estate in Forest, Virginia!

Early Mountain Vineyard Wedding || Romantic, Sunset winery Wedding || Robert & Shannon

It's not a secret that I love taking a couple out for extra portrait time during sunset, but oh my goodness- this wedding was an amazing exception! They had a sunset ceremony overlooking the Vineyard at Early Mountain Winery in Madison, Virginia.  

The Charlottesville area has some amazingly gorgeous vineyards- and the Early Mountain Vineyard is no exception! The views, open skies, and vineyard is the perfect backdrop for a wedding ceremony! The reception hall is unreal- especially for a wedding taking place in the fall! Those fireplaces! 

Robert & Shannon and their friends and family all traveled from all over the United States to the Charlottesville area for this event! It really seemed to add to the celebration and joyfulness of the day seeing everyone step away from their crazy lives to celebrate with these two!

Weekend Update || Keswick Vineyards & The Trivium Estate Weddings

I'm a little slow getting started this morning after a super busy & full weekend! 

We started off the weekend on Friday afternoon at the GORGEOUS Keswick Vineyard, in Orange, Virginia. I LOVED celebrating with Andrew & Melissa! Their Oktoberfest themed wedding was seriously such a blast and these two are the most laid back, fun couple ever! 

Then on Saturday, we stayed a locally and photographed AJ & Kimberly's wedding at The Trivium Estate in Forest, Virginia.  They were surrounded by so much love and joy on their big day, it was impossible not to get swept up in the excitement! 

As you can imagine, Sunday was spent with my feet up and resting and eating everything in sight!! Double headers are no joke! I cannot wait to share more from this weekend full of gorgeousness!!

Summer Trivium Estate Wedding || Nathan & Mason's Lynchburg Wedding

This wedding makes me feel totally old! You see, I used to babysit Mason, and there are some super embarrassing photos floating around out there of us singing on stage together at church! Let's just hope those stay packed away and hidden! ha! I took Mason's senior photos, some family portraits for them, and their engagement session out at Sierra Vista and I have some gorgeous bridal portraits to share as well! But there was something so special about being a part of their wedding day! I absolutely loved every minute of it!! 

Nathan & Mason's wedding day was so beautiful! She made such a stunning bride- and was so calm and joyful the entire day! Their Trivium Estate wedding was timeless and beautiful! They had a gorgeous no peek moment where they shared sweet letters, we all shed tears, and then she had a first look with her Dad. Talk about moving! To top off the evening, we headed out for sunset photos overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains! 

Thank you to the vendors that made this day so perfect!!
