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!

Weekend Update || A movie night, a Wintergreen Wedding, and some puppy time!

Happy Monday! I'm catching up on emails, laundry, editing, and meal prep for the week today- just to name a few tasks on my never-ending to-do list! We had a fun, full weekend. Michael was out of town for work most of last week, so it was awesome to be able to spend some time together as a family Friday night, unplugged movie nights with popcorn and snuggles was exactly what we needed! 

On Saturday, Michael & I headed up to The Wintergreen Ski Resort for Anthony & Ryan's Wedding! Their wedding was such a fun celebration- I cannot wait to share more of their images from their big day! 

The heat hit us hard, so Sunday was spent recovering! We headed to our neighbor's pool and floated around, AND snuggled their sweet new puppy, Lola.  She's an absolute doll-baby and Emerson totally loved chasing her around their back yard! I got a bit of puppy-fever- someone quick! Talk some sense into me! ;) haha!

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!!

Bedford, Virginia mountain-view bridal portraits || Central Virginia Wedding Photographer

We were watching the radar closely all day, somehow Casey has the best luck of just dodging storms for photos! I'm sure she would disagree with that, considering the stress that comes along with trying to determine if it's going to rain or not- but somehow she ended up with no rain for her bridal portraits AND her wedding day! Storms were surrounding the area, and we had a last minute venue change for photos, but goodness Casey handled it all with grace! She is such a stunning bride- so excited to finally share these gorgeous bridal portraits!!

The beaches of the Outer Banks to the mountains of Central Virginia: Our Weekend Update

It's after 11am, and I'm just sitting down to write this blog! I think that perfectly explains my Monday morning! I'm doing a bit of multi-tasking today as Emerson is out of school for the week, and I'm still playing catch-up! Nothing says welcome back from vacation to the mountain of laundry, floors to be mopped, and suitcases to be unpacked! 

So, instead of doing all the back-to-work chores, I couldn't wait to share some images from this weekend We had a beautiful weekend, with some time at The Outer Banks with family, to Jake & Casey's mountain view wedding in Vinton, Virginia! 

There are so many more images to come later this week- including some stunning bridal portraits of Casey!! Hooray!!
