Downtown Lynchburg, Virginia Engagement Session || Gabe & Meg

OH MY GOODNESS is downtown Lynchburg showing off this Spring!! It kept us waiting for so long- now that it finally seems to be here, it wants everyone to know! Hopefully that means the warmer weather is here to stay!! 

I was so excited to meet up with Gabe and Meg downtown this week for their engagement session! These two are getting married in October at Sorella Farms in Evington & I cannot wait! We had such a great time chatting & getting to know each other during their photo session! I love engagement sessions so much for this very reason! By the time the wedding comes along, we are all great friends & past that getting to know you stage so we can really have fun and celebrate together!!

Craddock Terry Hotel Wedding || Downtown Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

This blog post is a little bittersweet, as this is my last Wedding Wednesday for the year! That's right guys... I shot my last wedding of 2016 this weekend! While I am sad that the season is over, I am very excited to be welcoming some down time for rest and family time! 

Macklin & Shannon's Craddock Terry wedding day was the perfect way to end my wedding season! These two are so perfect together, they are such a fun and sweet couple, I LOVED getting to know them both so so much over the last year! Shannon made such a gorgeous bride, and her colors and fall decorations were so perfect! Their day was filled with so many emotions, to their tear-filled no-peek, their hugs to parents, emotional vows, and the parent dances, these two had me wiping my eyes the entire day! 

A HUGE thank you to the amazing vendors that made this wedding so amazing!!

Weekend Update || And that's a wrap for my 2016 Wedding Season!

Guys. This weekend wrapped up my 2016 Wedding Season! My 12th wedding in a row through the Fall weekends, and wedding #25 for 2016! I am so thankful I had a cut off at 25 this year, it really helped me ensure each of my brides got the full wedding experience and my full attention!  This weekend was so much fun and the epitome of balance between family and work balance! I was so thankful to be able to join Emmie and her class for a "play date at the park" on Saturday morning, and spend Sunday with my family talking about our dreams and the future! 

Saturday's wedding was so gorgeous! The temps last week ranged from 86 degrees and dropped down to the 40s over the weekend! We've been waiting for these Fall temps all year, so having them for my last wedding was amazing! We bundled up and enjoyed the day at The Craddock Terry Hotel & Event Center! This couple was so sweet, had such a special no-peek moment before the wedding, cried through their vows, and the reception dances! So basically, this couple made ME cry all day!! 

I cannot wait to share more from their big day this week!!!

Lynchburg, Virginia Photographer: Rodriguez Family

Eeeek! I love this family session! Dan & Mariah were visiting family for the weekend- and lucky for me we were able to head out for some photos of their beautiful family!  They are so cute- I swear it's IMPOSSIBLE to take a bad picture of this family!!  

We headed down to Percival's Island in downtown Lynchburg and had such a blast! The light was PERFECT- and I am seriously obsessed with their outfit choices! I LOVE mixing and matching patterns- and they did such an excellent job of not 'matching' but choosing colors within the patterns that go well together!

Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding & Portrait Photographer: Edward & Elizabeth

Man! Has it been a hoooooooottt July here in Lynchburg, Virginia or what? No- don't take that as complaining- I LOVE summer! But it sure can make photo sessions difficult when you have to take mini breaks to sit in the AC or grab a cup of iced tea!! 

Edward & Elizabeth were such troopers at our downtown Lynchburg, VA engagement shoot! We met down at Percival's Isle  and walked some beautiful trails, and even headed down to the water front out there before we walked around downtown Lynchburg! There's such an abundance of amazing photo locations- cool old buildings, and old churches! Oh man- the churches!! Poor Edward had to wear jeans and it was still 90 degrees when we met up at 6:30pm!! 

These two are SO adorable- editing through their engagement photos makes me SO excited for their wedding day this Fall!! YAY!
