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!!

Elegant blush and gray Trivium Estate Wedding || Forest, VA Wedding Photographer

It almost felt like a dream, looking into this wedding from the outside.  Seeing a couple so surrounded by love with their friends and family, celebrating new beginnings with them.  Working with the most amazing team of vendors, at the beautiful Trivium Estate in Forest, Virginia, and best of all, the sweetest, kindest couple ever.  Seeing Aynsley's twin sister in a blonde wig, acting out their love story with Dave's brother was one of the best best man/ maid of honor speeches ever! They acted out how they met- working together at a Charlottesville High School- to their proposal story, at the Cape Hatteras Light House. You could just feel the love and affection from all of their guests.  

Aynsley was the most laid back bride. She was absolutely radiating and had practically zero stress on her wedding day! She was able to relax with her friends, enjoy all the little moments, and truly have a blast with her groom on their wedding day! We headed out for extra bride and groom portraits at sunset and oh my goodness am I SO glad we did!!! 

So thankful for these wonderful vendors that made this wedding such a beautiful success!! Dream Team right here!!

Blush and Gray Bridal Portraits at the Trivium Estate in Forest, Virginia

One of my favorite things about working with so many weddings is seeing what dress the bride chooses! It really says so much about their personality, style, and look for their wedding day! Aynsley's wedding dress choice was so perfect for her! It was so elegant, with a touch of modern with the hints of blush and grays! It fit her so perfectly, and the veil was just the perfect addition! I think I am going to be comparing every dress from now on to Aynsley's! 

Seeing Aynsley in her dress, at the Trivium Estate, made everything come together so perfectly! Her flowers, hair, makeup, and the venue were all the perfect fit!
