2019 Weddings in Review

This is one of my most favorite blog posts to put together each year! Because I get to look over every single wedding from the year and truly remember the joyful days of each and every one of my amazing couples! It’s just a reminder of how quickly time passes and how much of a blessing it is to be able to celebrate with these couples on one of the biggest days of their lives!

2019 was an amazing year! I was able to schedule all of my weddings within Lynchburg and the surrounding areas, which was very needed with a little one at home! I loved shooting at venues from The Trivium Estate, The Virginian Hotel, Wintergreen Resort, Sorella Farms, The Glass Hill Venue, and more!

Thank you to each and everyone of my amazing couples that trusts me with something as important as their wedding photography! I do not take this job lightly and am so appreciative of you!

Getting Married?! I would LOVE to talk to you about your wedding day! I am currently booking a limited number of weddings for 2020 and 2021. Let’s chat!!

Autumn Trivium Estate Wedding || Bradford & Lauren

This Trivium Estate wedding was seriously perfect! I love Fall weddings- the light, the weather- it's all We left the night saying to each other how nothing seemed to go wrong the entire day! But that's not surprising to me considering all the amazing vendors set into place with the all-inclusive package that Lauren & Bradford booked with The Trivium Estate! 

The morning started with Lauren & her best friends in the bridal suite getting ready together and laughing together! And their ceremony was so beautiful! They chose to get married down at the gazebo overlooking the pond and the trees starting to turn! So gorgeous!! During their ceremony, they chose to plant a tree together- each providing dirt from their childhood homes. How precious is this?! I've never seen this as part of the ceremony, but I loved it! 

These two are both pharmacists and their chemistry was mentioned in their ceremony and the maid of honor reception speeches & you can see it when you watch them together! Smiling and Laughing all day! The best!! Their reception was a blast! The band did such an excellent job getting everyone up and on the dance floor the entire night!! A good band is so much fun at a wedding!

Sierra Vista Mountain View Wedding || Central Virginia Wedding Photographer

Ben & Brooke's wedding day was so beautiful & perfect. They started out the day with mimosa's in Sierra Vista's brand new bridal suite- which is SO gorgeous! Everything about this new room is perfect! Brooke had such a gorgeous dress picked out- the layers of tulle and the amazing back on this thing!! 

These two were so cute- they had the sweetest no peek moment, where they shared letters, gifts, tears, and some hugs. They were so excited, but didn't even want to say goodbye to go back in hiding until the ceremony. All day long Ben would sneak a kiss from Brooke, without knowing anyone was looking. For portrait time, I didn't even have to direct them- they would just snuggle up and were seriously so cute! 

All week, they were calling for rain and thunderstorms on Saturday and somehow their day was PERFECT. The sun was shining, there was a little bit of a breeze, and a beautiful blue/purple sky for when we went out for sunset portraits! I am so excited to share Ben & Brooke's wedding day with you today!! 

I cannot say enough about the vendors that stepped up and made this day so perfect for this sweet couple!

Garden Wedding at Trivium Estate || Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

Mike & Haley's wedding was seriously such a dream! The day really was so perfect- everything from the weather- her hair, floral crown & dress, their ceremony, and their celebration with friends and family! All week we were watching the weather so intently- it was calling for a chilly, rainy day, but oh my goodness- Saturday was GORGEOUS!! This couple buried the bourbon and I'm now 100% a believer that it works! Every single couple should do this for their wedding day! 

Haley has a little bit of a hippie heart & I was so excited to see her dreams come to life with her wedding! Her floral crown and natural waves meshed perfectly with her gorgeous dress- and her bare feet for her day! Their pergola wedding was beautiful and seemed so intimate and fitting for her garden wedding dream! 

We took some amazing portraits up at the Pergola, and then headed down to the pond around sunset- it was gorgeous- I am obsessed!! 

Congrats Mike & Haley!! I'm so excited for you guys as you start your life together!! 

Thank you to the amazing vendors that made this wedding such a gorgeous success!
