Monday Minute: Dreamy weddings and Mother's Day

It's a happy Monday & the sun is finally back out!! It's officially wedding season and we're squeezing in engagement sessions, bridal portraits, and fun wedding days! This past week, I headed out to Bedford for Ryan & Andrea's engagement session, and then to Roanoke for Josh and Jennifer's engagement session, and a fun bridal portrait session that I can't share yet! ;) 

We had such a great weekend! Saturday's wedding was like a fairy tale- Mike & Haley's big day was so gorgeous! All week it was calling for cooler weather and rain, but some how the weather totally changed and we had THE best weather ever! 

Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day. We had a slow morning, where Emmie & Mike made me breakfast in bed, stopped by the new house, and headed out to Afton Mountain for a wine tasting, picnic, and down time. We've been so busy lately with getting the house on the market, wedding season, and now packing up to get ready to move, that it was SO refreshing! 

And we even let Emmie pick up the camera and snap a few of us... hahaha! 

BUT! At least one kinda sorta turned out! ;) 

So much goodness to come this week- I cannot wait to share more!!

Lynchburg, Virginia Engagement Session || Lance & Meaghan

Y'all! Do you remember that perfect spring proposal from last year?! If not, you can see it here! But, I am SO excited that Lance & Meaghan have decided on a wedding date, a wedding venue (yay Tresca on 8th!!) and now a wedding photographer! HOORAY!! I am seriously so excited for their big day this Fall! 

Lance & Meaghan, and their adorable pup, Mac met up with me for their engagement session at the Old City Cemetery in downtown Lynchburg! SO many people look at me like I am insane when I suggest a location with the word 'cemetery' in the title, but this Lynchburg cemetery is more like a garden, and is absolutely beautiful! Especially this time of year! Those Spring blooms are just so gorgeous! This couple is so much fun, and of course, anytime that I get to get puppy snuggles is always a bonus! ;)

Ash Lawn-Highland Engagment Session || Charlottesville, Virginia Wedding Photographer

I had such a great time with this adorable couple at their Ashlawn-Highland engagement session in Charlottesville, Virginia! The Highland was home of President James Monroe and is completely stunning! There are so many corners and fun little places, buildings and gardens around the venue! I could have stayed there all day with Andrew & Melissa.  These two are so awesome- I loved getting to know them and we were all laughing and having so much fun their entire session! I secretly kinda love when a couple tells me in the beginning that they don't think they are photogenic, because when they are this cute, that's just impossible!! 

Andrew & Melissa are getting married at Keswick Vineyards in Charlottesville next year, and oh my goodness, I can already tell this is going to be the most fun wedding! Yay!!

Summer Sweet Briar Engagement Session || Lynchburg, VA Wedding and Portrait Photographer

You guys. I'm not even a little bit ashamed to say that I almost stole a puppy.  You can't even blame me- he's just SO cute! And you forget about the hectic puppy stage when they are looking at you with their sweet eyes and are all cute and fluffy!! I was so excited when Austin & Caitlin decided to bring their new pup along for their engagement session at Sweet Briar College in Lynchburg, Virginia! 

Austin & Caitlin are serious troopers for surviving the August heat for their engagement session! We wrapped up just in time for a crazy storm to hit town, thank goodness! Caitlin actually went to Sweet Briar so it was so fun to hear about her favorite things to do there, awesome little spots around the campus, etc! These two are so sweet, I can't wait for their wedding later this year!!

Barrett & Isabelle Engaged || Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

Oh goodness. I am so excited to share these!! Not only because these two are so cute, but because they are so fun!! There are some couples that I meet and laugh through the entire session! That was totally Barrett & Isabelle!!  

I was getting nervous before their engagement session because they drove up from South Carolina for their session and it had been gloomy and rainy all day.  I mean, are you surprised, it's been raining here for what seems like forever lately!!! But, thank goodness- it totally cleared up and turned into a gorgeous evening!! I headed out to Isabelle's parent's house and childhood home, where their wedding is going to be held and was in awe of the gorgeous view!!
