lynchburg, virginia wedding photographer: Brett & Hailey's Trivium Wedding

With all this traveling lately, staying in the Lynchburg & Forest area lately was such a treat! It's no surprise that I love shooting weddings at The Trivium Estates.  Heidi & her staff are SO organized and the hardest workers you will ever meet!

Hailey & Brett's wedding day was SO beautiful! The perfect Fall temps- they chose to get married at the Pergola outside and it seriously was stunning! I loved her beautiful blooms- the oranges and reds were perfect for this time of year!  

Hailey & Brett chose to do a 'no peek' right before the ceremony! I love these moments- the anticipation and excitement is at it's HIGHEST!! 

The Trivium Estate's ballroom always looks amazing!

You know I love a good candy bar!! ;) 

Hailey & Brett did a bubble exit- it turned out so well and was so much FUN! Baileys laughs and joy shows that!! ;) 

Thank you SO much Brett & Hailey for allowing me to be a part of your big & special day! It was such an honor to be there to celebrate with you!!

Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding Photographer: Hailey's Bridal Portraits

I looooooooove doing Bridal Portrait Sessions! It is SO much fun getting the Bride all dressed up- without the pressure of the wedding day timeline and the hustle and bustle of friends & family & wedding guests! Plus- who doesn't want another day to wear their beautiful wedding gown! You pay so much money for THE perfect dress, wear it again! Plus, most of my brides end up changing something- it could be as simple as earrings, or lip color- or even as big as changing their hair style! 

Hailey and I got together a few weeks ago for her Bridal Portraits out at the beautiful Trivium Estates in Forest, Virginia! I've been so excited to share these images with you guys! Bailey is so beautiful and makes such a stunning Bride!! And this session is a PERFECT example of how we can still make it work- even in the rain! As soon as we walked outside it started POURING- so we got some photos inside, and on the porch at the Trivium.  The rain cleared just in time for sunset- and we got these AMAZING glowy photos as well!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! I hope you can feel my excitement through your screen because OH MY GOODNESS! This wedding was truly amazing!! Robyn & Jonathan choose a STUNNING venue- the Avon Old Farms Hotel in Avon, Connecticut! That's right- I flew to Connecticut to shoot this wedding and I am SO glad I did! Everything about their day was beautiful and joyful!!

Their ceremony was SO beautiful! The Avon Old Farms Hotel has quite a few amazing spots for a ceremony- but this vine-covered pergola was PERFECTION! Her pick of watermelon bridesmaids dresses made them seriously pop off the greenery! And how adorable are their daughters as the flower girls!?! 

NOW, for my FAVORITE part of the day- the Bride & Groom portraits!! We took all of their photos in the back portion of the Avon Old Farms Hotel- seriously how beautiful is it here?! 

ROBYN! You are seriously STUNNNNNNNING!!!!

Central Virginia Wedding || An Avoca Museum Wedding

Guys. I swore I wasn't ready for Fall. I wanted to cling onto summer for as long as possible. Soak up every last sun ray and time in the pool.

Holly did the sweetest first look with her Mom and her Dad! Totally made me tear up!! 

A special thanks to the vendors that helped make this day unique and special!

Nassau Valley Vineyard Wedding: Justin & Meghan

OH MY GOODNESS! This weekend was truly MAGIC!!! Justin & Meghan's wedding was just perfection- we had THE best time celebrating with them at the Nassau Valley Vineyard in Lewes, Delaware!  

I have truly loved getting to know Meghan over the past few months.  I always talk about forming friendships with my brides- and goodness the more I got to know Meghan, the more you just fall in love with her! Her & Justin are SO encouraging and loving towards each other- and hearing their vows they wrote to each other- promises to always put God first and the other one ahead of their own.  It was such an honor to be here to document these moments!  

Michael always makes fun of me for getting emotional during weddings- and man there were SO many touching and emotional moments at their wedding! I am just SO excited for them and their marriage!! 

--

The girls were SO calm when I walked in- it was so peaceful and relaxing when I walked in- LOVED how supportive and encouraging her sweet bridesmaids were to her! Everything was hung up for me already, all the details set aside- everything was thought through! LOVE weddings like this!! 

Justin wrote Meghan a note, so Meg took a moment away from the crowd to sit and read his letter. I love these moments! So sweet and special!! 

LOOOOOOOVED their First Look Moments! They are seriously THE sweetest, happiest couple ever. I just love documenting these moments they will remember forever! 

RIGHT after the ceremony, we jumped in the limo and drove down to the beach for some photos!!! We caused quite the commotion with all the people on the beach, but ohh for these photos- it was SO worth it!! 

Then we headed back to the vineyard and got some ahhhhh-mazing photos in the grape vines! 

Meg did the best job decorating and putting her touches on everything! And I was so impressed, the guys got up early that morning and put all the table centerpieces together! What keepers there!!
