I’m not sure we could have asked for a more fun way to ring in wedding season than with Adam + Catherine’s gorgeous day at the William & Mary Alumni House. I wish we could show you every detail of this wedding, but this would be the never-ending post because there wasn’t one detail that […]

Seven years ago we were brand new in town. I had to travel back to Asheville, NC for a wedding and I absolutely dreaded making the trip by myself. I barely knew Amanda, but she offered to take a week off work and travel with me. She knew no one in my hometown and had […]

There are some wedding days that go so smoothly, it truly feels like a dream.  Mak + Samantha’s day was definitely one of those kinds of days!  Her mom + bridesmaids helped her get dressed, they exchanged vows at the First United Methodist Church next door, then walked right back over for their reception.  Their […]

Vineyard weddings in the fall are so classic– the golden leaves, the warm, rich colors… it’s definitely one of my favorite things!  Kyle + Megan’s wedding was all of these things!  They spent the whole day celebrating with friends and family, dancing, eating, and enjoying great conversation.  Also, check out the awesome car her dad […]

With 80 degree days reaching into October here in Virginia, it’s been hard to get into the fall spirit!  But Lindsay’s wedding fixed that for us, with the colorful leaves and autumn decor.  It was the perfect day, with impeccable weather, and a stunning couple that is totally and completely in love!  There were so […]

I love getting to be present at such cool weddings like Paul + Anita’s.  That’s one of my favorite parts of this job– to do something a little different every day.  One request they had– that I had to keep it a secret!  They weren’t inviting anyone really- just a very few family members– just […]

It’s hard to believe, but this was our first time at Ford’s Colony Country Club for a wedding!  We’d done a family session there before, but never experienced their gorgeous space for a wedding.  A stunning indoor space for the ceremony, a separate indoor space for the reception, and plenty of natural light in both? […]

We held our breath as the rain poured down.  I watched the weather forecast like a hawk, and it seemed that maybe, just maybe it would stop raining just long enough to take some portraits outside.  Shannon’s smile never faded, though— she was thrilled it was her wedding day, and there were so many gorgeous […]

Kayla + Nick know how to bring the party, and that was such a fun element of their wedding day!  They are truly best friends and have a great time together.  They make each other laugh, love dancing, and made every aspect of their wedding day fun for everyone. When I first walked in, I […]

Kaitlin’s father/daughter dance wasn’t a dance at all.  Instead, her father played guitar while she sang to James, her groom.  The room was perfectly quiet except for her voice and the strum of the guitar.  The look on James’ face was priceless.  Complete love, shock, and admiration.  The look of ‘I can’t believe I get to […]
