Central Virginia Wedding Photographer || Lauren's Bridal Portraits

I love when a bride choose to do bridal portraits.  It's the perfect way to see everything all together, and helps you decide before your actual wedding day if you want to make any changes to your hair or makeup! Bridal Portraits are a lot more laid back than the photos I get of just the bride on the wedding day, and I'm able to get a ton of variety with images and your wedding details.  

Lauren made such a gorgeous bride, and we had such a great time out at The Trivium Estate for her bridal portraits! I loved her the gorgeous neckline and fit of her dress! It was so perfect for her! She wanted a relaxed, country feel for her wedding day, so she choose to wear boots instead of heels, which sure makes walking all around the grounds at The Trivium a lot easier!

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!!

Sarah Stallings Bridal Portraits || Lynchburg, VA Wedding Photography

I have been holding on to these photos for what seems like FOREVER, so you know I am so excited to finally be able to share!! Sarah has been a dear friend of mine for a few years now, so when she asked me to photograph her bridal portraits, I was so honored and thrilled!

Sarah looked absolutely STUNNING in her dress!! She has one of those smiles and personalities that just radiates, and she was ALL smiles for her portraits!! Photo day was such a stressful day, she got her hair & makeup done and a huge storm hit right before we were going to meet.  We quickly changed our location to Randolph College, with more tree and building cover in case it kept raining. But, thank goodness, the rain stopped, the sun came out and it was the perfect afternoon for photos!! 

Bridal Dress: Celebration Bridal

Hair: Heather Shinkle with Arte de Capilli

Elizabeth's Bridal Portraits: Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding Photographer

I totally have a love/hate thing going on with bridal portraits! I seriously LOOOOOOOVE so many things about them, like the bride getting another chance to get all dolled up, getting a trial run with hair and make-up, and the fact that they are so much fun. But then after the fact I have to keep them top-secret and that is just straight up torture!! haha! 

Coleton & Elizabeth got married on Saturday and oh my gooooooodness it was such a beautiful day! Elizabeth is the sweetest and made the most beautiful bride!! And that means I finally get to share photos from her bridal portraits!!  Thanks to The Trivium Estates in Forest for allowing the perfect spot for these!! 

Mike & Emilee's Wedding & Celebration at Boonsboro Country Club || Lynchburg, VA Wedding Photographer

I am SO happy I am able to share these images with you today! I know that Mike & Emilee, their entire families, and all of their guests and friends wondered if their wedding was going to happen because of the ‘blizzard of 2016.’  Mike said it well when he said that he doesn’t know of many people who would be able to watch ALL of their month and months of wedding plans get tossed out the window because of snow.  Emilee handled this situation with such grace, and if you read their blog post from Monday, you saw that they actually had a small, intimate ceremony in their pastors yard on Saturday, and then Boonsboro Country Club in Lynchburg, VA was able to open up and they had their ceremony on Sunday morning before their families had to fly back out.  

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a couple so happy together- especially after all that they had been through the previous week! But Mike & Emilee were all smiles- all day- and after their ceremony they laughed and kissed throughout their entire reception! Then they tied up their snow boots and we walked around the gorgeous grounds of Boonsboro County Club and got the most romantic portraits of them. If it’s going to snow on your wedding day, you better take advantage of that and get some photos! ;)
