Branding Headshot Session with Jennifer Onalee Weddings || Headshot and Branding Photographer in Lynchburg, VA

As a small business owner & a photographer, I am here to tell you that the headshot game has completely changed! It is not just for high-up executives and CEO's anymore! Every small business owner should not only have a head shot, but also branding images that they can use for their webpages, marketing materials, and social media.  

Potential Clients now want to know you and your passions- the why behind your business, your family and really feel that emotional connection with you! Having photos of yourself are vital for social media profile photos, but having photos that connect with your brand and your specific business are vital! 

I loved having Jenn with Jennifer Onalee Weddings over to my house this week for her branding session! She brought things that were specific to her business and we aimed for an approachable, comfortable and professional photos to model her Wedding Planning and Coordination Business. Jenn got her makeup done by Ashley Ancheta with Makeup by Ashley, and brought along her favorite coffee mug, stationary, planners, business cards, and laptop.

Weekend Update: Central Virginia Wedding Photographer

Happy Monday Friends! I know Mondays get a bad rap, and I understand- but I get so excited for Mondays because it's back to routine and I get to look through the fun wedding images from the weekend! And today, I am suuuuper thrilled to share the photos from this weekend's wedding! Sam & Larissa got married at the Wintergreen Resort, which is just about an hour from the Lynchburg area, and it's such a gorgeous place to get married! 

These two are just beyond cute together, and they were both so happy all day- and goodness it shows in their photos! I had the hardest time picking a few sneak peek photos to edit early this morning! The weather held off just in time for their ceremony to end before the clouds rolled in and it started pouring! The rain finally lifted & we went out for "sunset photos" which were more like fog photos- but oh my goodness was it beyond beautiful! I cannot wait for the full blog post later this week!

Cat's Bridal: Bedford, Virginia Bridal Portraits

It was POURING as I drove out to meet Cat and her Mom at The Historic Avenel in Bedford, Virginia. Is there a word for more than pouring? Because that's exactly what it felt like! I was certain I was going to make it to the venue and we would have to reschedule, or do all the photos inside. The Avenel is beautiful inside, so we could have totally made it work, but the outside is beyond gorgeous! But, oh my goodness, it was meant to be because as I pulled onto Avenel Avenue, the rain stopped and the sun started shining! It turned into a beautiful evening- not too warm, the light! It was a night meant to be photographed! I loved it! Cat looked absolutely gorgeous in her bridal gown, and we had so much fun around the gorgeous property!

Lenis & Becky's Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard Summer Wedding in Charlottesville, VA

Shooting a wedding at Pippin Hill Vineyards has been a bucket list venue for me to photograph a wedding at for such a long time, and I was finally able to cross it off my list this past weekend for Lenis & Becky's wedding! There are so many gorgeous wineries in the Charlottesville area, but Pippin Hill is one of my favorites! The view of the winery overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, the patio & tasting room, everything is beautiful- it was the perfect location for Lenis & Becky's wedding! 

Everything about their wedding was elegant and classy! From the staff handing out champagne and rose' as guests arrived for their wedding, Becky's stunning bridal gown, the ceremony on the lawn under the chuppah, to the gorgeous ballroom reception with a full band and the most amazing florals and the best dinner ever.

Lenis & Becky had such a sweet first look moment and we were able to get tons of their family and wedding party portraits done before the ceremony started! Their ceremony had a Jewish twist and was so touching and beautiful! The summer view of the mountains behind them was just perfection! And we also took advantage of some time during dinner and got some super romantic photos as the sun was setting! I am so excited to share this one with you guys! 

We LOVED working with the amazing vendors that made this wedding a stunning success!
