John Marshall Ballrooms Wedding || Jack & Jodee's Richmond, VA Wedding

What a BEAUTIFUL wedding to start out my 2019 wedding season! Jack & Jodee got married at The Historic John Marshall Ballrooms in Richmond, Virginia and the day could not have gone better! Jodee’s getting ready room was so laid back, as her friends gathered around her to celebrate the big day with their glitter-filled champagne toasts and laughter.

Jack & Jodee had a beautiful first look moment and then got ALL of their portraits done before the ceremony! Event the family portraits and they joined their guests for their pre-ceremony cocktail hour! I loved that they decided to do this- it made their reception time so special as they were able to visit with each of their guests, and have lots of time for the dance floor!

Jack & Jodee- thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your big day! It was such an honor to celebrate with you both! What a STUNNING day it was!!!

Thank you to the AMAZING team of vendors that made this day so perfect!

Weekend Update || A movie night, a Wintergreen Wedding, and some puppy time!

Happy Monday! I'm catching up on emails, laundry, editing, and meal prep for the week today- just to name a few tasks on my never-ending to-do list! We had a fun, full weekend. Michael was out of town for work most of last week, so it was awesome to be able to spend some time together as a family Friday night, unplugged movie nights with popcorn and snuggles was exactly what we needed! 

On Saturday, Michael & I headed up to The Wintergreen Ski Resort for Anthony & Ryan's Wedding! Their wedding was such a fun celebration- I cannot wait to share more of their images from their big day! 

The heat hit us hard, so Sunday was spent recovering! We headed to our neighbor's pool and floated around, AND snuggled their sweet new puppy, Lola.  She's an absolute doll-baby and Emerson totally loved chasing her around their back yard! I got a bit of puppy-fever- someone quick! Talk some sense into me! ;) haha!

Ryan & Rachel Engagements || Lynchburg, VA Wedding Photographer

YAY! I've been so excited to share Ryan & Rachel's photos since their engagement session!! We had SO much fun out at this old mill- the sunshine was gorgeous, and these two are just the cutest!! I love all these cool locations tucked away with all this history, texture and greenery around Lynchburg! When Rachel told me that she had family right down the street from this mill in Madison Heights, we knew it was the perfect place for their photos!! Rachel did such a great job picking out what to wear for their engagement photos, and we truly had a blast soaking up the sunshine and gorgeous location!! I cannot wait for their wedding this Fall!!

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!!

Lance & Meaghan: Lynchburg Virginia Proposal Photographer

Guys! Take special note- THIS is how you plan a proposal! :) 

Lance called me while he was planning his proposal! Meaghan was visiting from Florida for the weekend and he wanted to surprise her and propose to her while she was here! He told her to plan for a nice dinner out and then surprised her with a mini-photoshoot! We started out a few minutes of just a few general photos and then we set up THE proposal picture.  

I had Meagan and Lance pose where her back was away from Lance, and during that time he got down on one knee.  

I then had her turn around and oh my goodness she was SO surprised. It was amazing to see all the emotions hit her at once! Surprise, shock, excitement, joy! Oh I loved it so much! 

After Meaghan was able to collect her emotions we had a super fun engagement session! Rivermont Park was in full bloom and it was seriously beautiful! Meaghan & Lance were SO happy together and such a joy to photograph!!
