Garden Wedding at Trivium Estate || Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

Mike & Haley's wedding was seriously such a dream! The day really was so perfect- everything from the weather- her hair, floral crown & dress, their ceremony, and their celebration with friends and family! All week we were watching the weather so intently- it was calling for a chilly, rainy day, but oh my goodness- Saturday was GORGEOUS!! This couple buried the bourbon and I'm now 100% a believer that it works! Every single couple should do this for their wedding day! 

Haley has a little bit of a hippie heart & I was so excited to see her dreams come to life with her wedding! Her floral crown and natural waves meshed perfectly with her gorgeous dress- and her bare feet for her day! Their pergola wedding was beautiful and seemed so intimate and fitting for her garden wedding dream! 

We took some amazing portraits up at the Pergola, and then headed down to the pond around sunset- it was gorgeous- I am obsessed!! 

Congrats Mike & Haley!! I'm so excited for you guys as you start your life together!! 

Thank you to the amazing vendors that made this wedding such a gorgeous success!

Roanoke, Virginia Engagement Session || Josh and Jennifer

You guys- oh my goodness! For John & Jennifer's engagement session we headed back to where it all began- their grade school, where they attended school dances, played on sports teams together, and graduated. It was so amazing to step back in history with them- to hear their stories and see first hand where they ate lunch together, passed notes in the hallway and sat in class together! 

Luckily for them, the grounds around the school are seriously gorgeous, so we walked around, laughing, catching up, and got some awesome photos!

Bedford Engagement Session || Ryan & Andrea

I looooove when a couple decides to do their engagement photos at a location that is super special to them! Ryan & Andrea chose to do their session at a family's property in Bedford, Virginia! And ohhh my goodness- this location was so dreamy!! A gorgeous farmhouse, some rustic barns, views of the peaks and a gorgeous pond setting for sunset! IT really was the perfect location for their engagement session!!

Monday Minute: Dreamy weddings and Mother's Day

It's a happy Monday & the sun is finally back out!! It's officially wedding season and we're squeezing in engagement sessions, bridal portraits, and fun wedding days! This past week, I headed out to Bedford for Ryan & Andrea's engagement session, and then to Roanoke for Josh and Jennifer's engagement session, and a fun bridal portrait session that I can't share yet! ;) 

We had such a great weekend! Saturday's wedding was like a fairy tale- Mike & Haley's big day was so gorgeous! All week it was calling for cooler weather and rain, but some how the weather totally changed and we had THE best weather ever! 

Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day. We had a slow morning, where Emmie & Mike made me breakfast in bed, stopped by the new house, and headed out to Afton Mountain for a wine tasting, picnic, and down time. We've been so busy lately with getting the house on the market, wedding season, and now packing up to get ready to move, that it was SO refreshing! 

And we even let Emmie pick up the camera and snap a few of us... hahaha! 

BUT! At least one kinda sorta turned out! ;) 

So much goodness to come this week- I cannot wait to share more!!

Spring Trivium Estate Wedding || Chris & Katie's Forest, Virginia Wedding

Ohhhhhh the beginning of my spring wedding season started out so perfectly with Chris & Katie's wedding at The Trivium Estate in Forest, Virginia.  Their day was so filled with love from all of their friends and family- and Chris truly had us laughing the entire day with his excitement and nerves of the day! 

These two started off the day surrounded by their friends and close family members while they were getting ready. Seeing Katie step into her beautiful dress and the smiles and tears on her bridesmaids faces totally melted my heart! But the true emotional moment was their first look! They decided to exchange letters right before and both of them started tearing up reading them, which means I totally did as well, luckily I have a camera to hide behind! ;) 

Their pond ceremony was beautiful and the rain held off! They buried the bourbon before their big day, and it totally worked- somehow the rain clouds shaded everyone the perfect amount, but there was no rain! We headed out for sunset portraits and oh my goodness they are beautiful!! So excited to share their big day today!!
