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 […]

Rachel + Tim are this quiet, reserved couple when you first meet them, and then you quickly realize that they are quick-witted and love to joke with each other.  And they absolutely, 110% adore their dog, Coco.  And according to Tim, Coco is the whole reason for the wedding (he’s kidding, of course… just look at […]

Kelly + Nick were high school sweethearts and dated for 8 years before tying the knot last month!  Kelly said she always needed help in geometry class and Nick helped her out.  It turns out, he was so willing to help because he thought she was pretty! I agree, Nick… Kelly is gorgeous!  And after 8 […]
