Brian & Emily's Engagement || Lynchburg, Virginia Engagement & Wedding Photographer

I absolutely love engagement sessions, they give us such a unique way to really get to know each other, all while learning how a couple interacts with each other, posing they will use on their wedding day, and it really helps it sink in with couples that they are getting married!!

What a beautiful evening we had for Brian & Emily’s engagement session! We really had the best time- I think we laughed the entire night! We met out at Sweet Briar College- which is gorgeous anytime of the year- but especially in Fall! I cannot wait for their big day!!


Brian & Crystal: Lynchburg, VA Engagement Session

I think it’s safe to safe, it’s officially Fall, and while I always love summer, the cooler weather and engagement session season is welcome this year! Brain & Crystal are getting married at Atkinson Farm in Danville, Virginia this upcoming April, and I am so excited for it! These two are so sweet, and I cannot wait to celebrate with them! These two have known each other for pretty much their entire lives, and have been dating since their senior year in high school! So, you can say this wedding is a long time coming, which always means extra celebration!

We had a blast at their engagement session on the most perfect Fall evening- the weather was gorgeous, Sweet Briar College is always a favorite!



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!!!

Sorella Farms Wedding in Lynchburg, Virginia || Gabe & Meghan's Central Virginia Wedding

Gabe & Meghan's Sorella Farms wedding day was so beautiful! It was a GORGEOUS fall day, the colors were starting to turn on the trees and their ceremony location overlooked the gorgeous mountains! Meghan is one of those brides that I wish I could clone. She's so sweet, super laid back, and truly lived in the joyful moments of her wedding day! 

Sorella Farms in Evington- right outside of Lynchburg- is such a gorgeous venue! Their Bridal Suite and getting ready room is the perfect space to hang out with your wedding party and get ready! Gabe & Meg's ceremony was STUNNING overlooking the Blue Ridge Parkway! Right after the ceremony, the sky started turning dark gray and we quickly changed the timeline to get some photos of them together before it started to downpour. We moved SO fast and got through all of their couple portraits- just in time for the sun to come back out for family and wedding party portraits AND sunset photos with Gabe & Meg.  

Their reception in the Sorella Farms barn is gorgeous! Their reception space is so elegant and classy with draped white fabric, twinkle lights, and gold mirrors on the barn doors. It's gorgeous! 

Congratulations Gabe & Meg! We're so excited for you guys as you begin life together! 








The Virginian Hotel Wedding || Emily's Bridal Portraits

Oh I have been so excited to share Emily’s bridal portraits with you guys! We took these back when hurricane Florence was hitting the east coast, and everyone’s wedding and portrait plans got thrown for a loop! So we last minute changed up some plans and took her bridal portraits at The Virginian Hotel in downtown Lynchburg.

It was THE perfect place for her portraits- Emily made such a classy bride- the marble staircase at The Virginian was just the perfect backdrop! AND the rain held off so we were able to head outside for a few, and explore some of the other rooms in Virginian (how cool is their library?!)

Thanks again Emily for trusting me with these portraits for you! You are such a stunning bride!
