Cody & Caitlin's Sundara Wedding

Sundara Wedding Venue in Boones Mill, Virginia

I think I can officially say that fall is here! After Cody & Caitlin’s wedding this weekend, the leaves are turning in Central Virginia and I’m excited for the beauty that comes with it! (Got to find the positive to the impending cold weather!!) Cody & Caitlin got married at the GORGEOUS Sundara wedding venue in Boones mill, Virginia and WOW WOW WOW you guys- this place is STUNNING! Everywhere you look, every corner in the house, on the grounds, is beyond picture worthy! I could have taken photos of these two all day!

When I tell you that Cody & Caitlin’s wedding day was perfect, I mean it was PERFECT. The best weather, sweetest wedding party and family, everything ran on time, the caterers even had a plate of dairy free food for me!! (Can you tell I’m excited?! I was STOKED to have a warm, yummy meal that was allergy friendly over my PB&J from home haha!)

Their ceremony was just so beautiful! Under a gorgeous oak tree, overlooking open fields and mountains and then their reception was in the event tent and was just so beautiful! I am beyond excited to share photos from their day, so enough babbling!!

Thank you to the amazing vendors that truly made this day so perfect!

Wintergreen Resort Engagement Session || Chase & Courtney

Wintergreen Resort is such a gorgeous spot! I know many people think of this being an area to visit in the winter for skiing or tubing- but goodness this is such a pretty spot in the summer & fall as well! You can't even compete with their overlook- you feel like you can see the entire world from this one spot! 

I was so excited when Chase & Courtney decided they wanted to do their engagement session at Wintergreen! It was perfect with the timing of the leaves changing colors and the stunning fall light! We had so much fun & I loved getting to know these two! They're getting married in 2018 at the Melrose Caverns Lodge in Harrisonburg & I know we're going to have a blast!!

Mountain Top Wedding || Craig & Carrie's Wintergreen Resort Wedding

Y'all. I freaking love Virginia. All of it. I grew up on the coast of Virginia, and now live in Lynchburg, which is Central Virginia. You can't go wrong here! With just a few hours drive you can go from the mountains, to the ocean, to large cities, our nation's capital! There's so much to take advantage of! It's no secret that I love the beach, but goodness, a ceremony on the top of a mountain, where you just see layers upon layers of the blue ridge parkway! 

Craig & Carrie's wedding day was SO gorgeous! Their families rented some GORGEOUS houses on the mountain, where they were able to get ready with their families and friends. I loved how laid back they both were! I strive so hard for my brides & grooms to be calm & collected and not stressed out on their big day so they can actually enjoy everything, so when a Bride is trusting and just excited for the day, it makes everything so amazing! 

Their ceremony at the overlook at The Wintergreen Resort was seriously stunning. The view is breath-taking from up there! They had the sweetest first look, where they exchanged gifts and then took photos with their wedding parties before the ceremony began! Congrats you two! Enjoy your relaxing honeymoon at the Sanderling Resort!!

Blue Ridge Mountain Wedding || Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding Photographer

When I dream of a gorgeous backyard wedding, THIS is exactly what I dream of! A backyard on a mountaintop, overlooking the entire city of Lynchburg, surrounded by gorgeous greenery, friends and family! Such a beautiful day from start to finish! Barrett & Isabelle's wedding was gorgeous! They got married at their childhood home nestled in Lynchburg, Virginia with THE most amazing views of the city that you've ever seen! 

One of the things that Isabelle loves most about Barrett is that he can always make her laugh- and goodness could you tell on their wedding day.  They were both so happy and carefree, it was such a blast! 

Thanks so all the amazing vendors that helped so much with this gorgeous wedding!
