Melrose Caverns in Harrisonburg, Virginia

Brian & Emily’s Wedding was such a stunning day! I LOVE shooting at Melrose Caverns- there’s a gorgeous farmhouse to get ready in, beautiful open fields, the stone work, everything is gorgeous!

Emily started by getting ready with her best friend, Mom and Mother-in-Law to be. The sweetest moments between her Mom had us all in tears! Because the fear of rain coming all day, we worked SO fast, and then lucked out because it never started raining… so we got lots and lots of portraits! Their ceremony was so sweet and overlooked the beautiful stone historical building! Right into their reception, which was so much fun! Their guests had the best time celebrating together!

I just love these two so much- they are so sweet and so much fun! Congrats you two! Hope you’re having the best time on your honeymoon!!

Thank you so so much to all the amazing vendors that made this day so special!

As we are all hunkering down expecting the winds and rains from Hurricane Florence to begin, here, in Central Virginia, I thought it would be the perfect time to share this gorgeous wedding that somehow dodged the rain so Courtney could have the outdoor ceremony that she had been dreaming about!

Chase & Courtney’s wedding day began with a downpour, and we were certain the entire thing would be moved inside- even the amazing wedding planner moved the reception tables and set up the chairs for the ceremony. About 10 or 15 minutes before it was scheduled to start, the rain stopped and everything cleared up. Courtney decided to go for it, and oh my goodness, I am so glad she did as it didn’t rain for the rest of the evening!

The grounds at Melrose Cavern Lodge in Harrisonburg, Virginia were beyond gorgeous! It felt like we were at a wedding in a Disney Movie! Tucked away, surrounded by glowy lights and greenery with the most gorgeous arbor. I cannot wait to return!
