Weekend Update: Central Virginia Wedding Photographer

Happy Monday Friends! I know Mondays get a bad rap, and I understand- but I get so excited for Mondays because it's back to routine and I get to look through the fun wedding images from the weekend! And today, I am suuuuper thrilled to share the photos from this weekend's wedding! Sam & Larissa got married at the Wintergreen Resort, which is just about an hour from the Lynchburg area, and it's such a gorgeous place to get married! 

These two are just beyond cute together, and they were both so happy all day- and goodness it shows in their photos! I had the hardest time picking a few sneak peek photos to edit early this morning! The weather held off just in time for their ceremony to end before the clouds rolled in and it started pouring! The rain finally lifted & we went out for "sunset photos" which were more like fog photos- but oh my goodness was it beyond beautiful! I cannot wait for the full blog post later this week!

Weekend Update || Central Virginia Backyard Wedding, cooler weather, and reconnecting time

Happy Monday! I know, I'm in the minority here, but I actually like Monday's because they are my "get things done" day! Emerson is back in school, and I get to start the new week with my cup of coffee, my to do list written out and diving into the wedding photos from over the weekend! 

I couldn't wait until Wednesday's wedding post to share some photos from Hunter & Robyn's wedding! Their day was so sweet- and the weather cooled off and stayed shady for their full ceremony! They had a beautiful first look moment, and so many friends and family there to celebrate with them! 

Sunday was a fun, relaxing day where we welcomed the cooler weather, extra cups of coffee, and even made chili and salted caramel cookies together! I love those slower days where we're able to prepare for the week and reconnect! 

How was your weekend! Is it finally cooling off there?

Wintergreen Resort Wedding || Central Virginia Wedding Photographer

You guys. There's the most amazing piece of heaven just about an hour from Lynchburg out at the Wintergreen Resort! Driving up the mountain, there's the perfect space for a ceremony at the Devils Knob overlook. Talk about a view!!! 

Anthony & Ryan are one of those couples that automatically makes each other smile, laugh, and have a blast.  Easiest clients ever! Anthony & Ryan have been friends since they met, as students at Virginia Tech. These die-hard hokies were so excited and surprised to find out that her Mom secretly planned for the VT Hokie bird to make an appearance at their wedding! Everyone at the reception was so excited and had a blast dancing around with him through the night!

Mountain view Ceremony at The Glen at The Boxtree Lodge and Braeloch Wedding Venue || Vinton, VA Wedding Photographer

Looking through the trees and seeing those gorgeous mountain views, you completely forgot about the heat of the August afternoon for Jake & Casey's wedding ceremony.  The Glen is a new location at the Boxtree Lodge and the Braeloch, and goodness it's so pretty! Walking through the venue, you're greeted with the tall ceilings and the walls of windows overlooking the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains.  We were all so thankful that the rain missed the Vinton area- even though it rained in both Bedford and Lynchburg! 

It's been so much fun getting to know Casey and her family more over the last few months! I was able to document their engagement session last Fall, Casey's Bridal Portraits earlier this summer, so being there on their wedding day, I felt like a part of the family! I may have even cried during the Father/Daughter dance, but I totally blame her Mom for that one! ;)  

Thanks so much for choosing me for your special day Jake & Casey!! I am so so so happy for you guys- hope you enjoy the beaches of Grenada this week and are able to fully relax & enjoy being married!! Hooray!!

Coleton & Elizabeth's Wedding Day: Trivium Estate Wedding

It is such a special honor to be chosen to photograph someones wedding.  It's something that I never ever want to take lightly.  I have the privilege of being a part of these giant moments in peoples lives, and I invest so much of myself emotionally into my couples.  I get to be behind the scenes, help them throughout the day, see how much their friends and family love on them, and be a part of their private moments that prove how important love and marriage is. I am so beyond thankful that Coleton & Elizabeth chose me to photograph their wedding.  They are the cutest couple ever- you can see their love and their joy just radiating from them!  It was the greatest feeling seeing her walk down the aisle with her Dad, wear her grandma's special earrings, laugh with Coleton through the evening, and celebrate with her friends and family! 

The Trivium Estate was THE perfect backdrop for their gorgeous wedding!! It really was the perfect day in April and everything was so beautiful! I am so excited to be sharing images from their wedding day!!
