I keep thinking the Virginia fall weather can’t get any better and weekend after weekend I’m proven wrong. Fall wedding season in Virginia CANNOT be topped and I’m happy I could finish it off by celebrating the marriage of Courtney + Stephen. You two threw one heck of a party and I’m happy to share some shots of this beautiful day!

Virginia was showing off on Mallory + Carl’s wedding day. We even had a brief rain shower which wasn’t the worst thing, because Mallory’s favorite weather is a cloudy/rainy day. I’m still blown away by how perfectly everything came together and am so happy to share some of the footage from this incredible wedding. Congrats you two!

Virginia is for lovers and picture perfect fall weddings 🥰 I’ve hiked Sharp Top mountain many times and being able to film a wedding at its base was so special! Emily and Donnie’s wedding day was perfect in so many ways and I’m excited to share this sneak peek.

Taylor + Bryan had such a fun wedding day and threw a PARTY 💃🏻 I love working with couples who know how to have fun and these two looked like they enjoyed every minute of their day. My favorite moment was watching them interact when we slipped out for sunset photos because Bryan had Taylor (and the rest of us) cracking up the entire time. I see lots of laughs and good memories in their future 💕

Claire & Peyton are the kind of people that you want to be friends with; fun, genuine, kind, and ready to have a good time. Their wedding day at the brand new was a BLAST and I’m so honored they chose me to capture it! Sooo much more to come, here’s a little glimpse into their emotional and spectacular day!

I have so many things I could say about this sweet couple but to sum it up I’ll say this; Sam was the first bride to ask me how I was doing on HER wedding day...and not just the standard “hey how are you” type of question. She genuinely wanted to know how I was doing. I appreciate working with such genuine and thoughtful couples and this day will forever be one of my favorites 💕

Happy Friday everyone, just stopping by to show my face and say hello 👋🏼
I’m looking at my fall calendar PINCHING myself thinking about the 10 couples I get to celebrate between now and the end of October. It’s going to be a whirlwind and I am so honored to spend every weekend with some of the coolest couples, vendors, and families in Virginia.

It’s hard not to be in a good mood when I have a styled shoot to edit, it’s 75 degrees outside, and WEDDING SEASON is around the corner. Swipe to see some screen grabs from our shoot at ...third photo shows just how much fun we had 😜
