Monique & Zoey's Snowy Session: Lynchburg, VA Photographer

Don't say I didn't warn you.. more snow pictures! And I am so excited about these! This family has been good friends with us for a while, but Zoey has NEVER wanted to take pictures for me.  And if she had to take a picture, she refused to smile.  ;) Well, she actually agreed to do some photos and even smiled for me!! 

Lynchburg, Virginia has a million places to do photos, even within walking distance of my house, which is amazing!! We went right around the corner and had fun in the snow! The wind picked up BIG TIME and it was seriously freezing, but these two had the best attitudes! Thank you Monique for climbing the hill and braving the cold snowy day for me!!

Macklin & Shannon Engagement || Central VA Photographer

How do I get so lucky?! I seriously get to meet the most amazing couples- and it's my job to hang out with them! I was seriously giddy meeting and getting to know Macklin & Shannon this weekend! They met me out at Boonsboro Country Club after Mike & Emilee's wedding. They were so laid back- with the wedding up in the air due to the weather, we had to move their engagement session date and time and play it by ear.  SO thankful they were so flexible with me in this crazy weekend! ;) 

They are such a cute couple- and they brought their cute puppies for some photos! Love having family pets involved! They are seriously part of the family!! They recently moved out to the Bedford and Central Virginia area for work, and are having their wedding at The Craddock Terry Hotel in Lynchburg, Virginia this October! So excited for their wedding! She's going to make such a gorgeous bride!!

Mike & Emilee's Wedding & Celebration at Boonsboro Country Club || Lynchburg, VA Wedding Photographer

I am SO happy I am able to share these images with you today! I know that Mike & Emilee, their entire families, and all of their guests and friends wondered if their wedding was going to happen because of the ‘blizzard of 2016.’  Mike said it well when he said that he doesn’t know of many people who would be able to watch ALL of their month and months of wedding plans get tossed out the window because of snow.  Emilee handled this situation with such grace, and if you read their blog post from Monday, you saw that they actually had a small, intimate ceremony in their pastors yard on Saturday, and then Boonsboro Country Club in Lynchburg, VA was able to open up and they had their ceremony on Sunday morning before their families had to fly back out.  

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a couple so happy together- especially after all that they had been through the previous week! But Mike & Emilee were all smiles- all day- and after their ceremony they laughed and kissed throughout their entire reception! Then they tied up their snow boots and we walked around the gorgeous grounds of Boonsboro County Club and got the most romantic portraits of them. If it’s going to snow on your wedding day, you better take advantage of that and get some photos! ;)

John & Shannon: Snow Day Maternity Photos || Lynchburg, Virginia Photographer

I hope you aren't tired of seeing snow pictures yet, because well, I've got a lot more coming! We don't get snow often here, and when we do, well we've got to take advantage of it. On Friday once the snow started I was so anxious to get out of the house and get some photos in the snow! Little did I know, I'd be pretty much in the snow Saturday evening for Mike & Emilee's snowy elopement, and all day Sunday for their wedding ceremony, and Macklin & Shannon's engagement session! I wouldn't trade any of it- even though I do hate the cold- I love the snow!  (well, other than getting stuck Sunday evening and needing a lot of shovels and man-power to get me unstuck! oops!) 

Friday afternoon I put out an alert on Facebook for anyone that could make it to me (regretting that decision to not buy 4wd right about now...) for a quick session in the snow! John & Shannon reached out and met me at a church right across the street from my house! They were one of my very first weddings I shot solo, and are expecting a baby boy soon! I was so excited to get some photo of them and her adorable baby bump!! It was freeeeeezing, and of course it started to sleet right when we got out there, but they were seriously troopers!!
