Wow, what a glorious fall wedding season this has been! We have been honored the share in the love and joy of so many weddings that it is hard to believe that we just photographed our last 2019 wedding. It was bittersweet working on this blog feature but I really couldn’t be happier that we finished our season with Amber and Robert’s beautiful winter wedding! Every person there was woven together with the love Amber and Robert share So often at weddings, we think about the pretty parts, the idea of two people becoming one and the joining of families. As we moved through the day from getting ready to…

I’ll share a secret with you, those first few moments of meeting everyone and hugging our Bride on her wedding day is the best part of the entire day for us! We get to take off our photographer hats and share in the joy and excitement that fills the air! We meet family and friends and admire all the little details that our Bride has chosen to be a part of her day! Most often some of the sweet most intimate parts of a wedding take place in the Bridal Suite. That’s where a Mother helps her daughter put on her wedding dress and where a Father hugs his little…

Do we have a treat for y’all today! Bre and Harrisons Oakland Farm wedding was the stuff of Fall Wedding Dreams! When we meet with our sweet couples we love to hear all about the wedding plans; well at least what they have at that very early point!

Rustic-Chic Fall Wedding…

You would think that they all start to blend into each other but that is definitely not the case for us! We remember every single wedding, every couple, all of their love stories and how their wedding dreams become reality! I remember them all so clearly not just because I happen to have a great memory but because we genuinely love our couples!  Their lives and families are important to us so it makes it easy to recall all the little details!

I love Fall, like seriously love it! When you think Fall I’m sure you think of cooler nights, pumpkin spice sweaters and cute boots just to name a few! Me too, but as a VA wedding photographer, most of all I think of weddings! We celebrated the first day of Fall in such an epic way this year! John and I spent the day at the beautiful Old Lystra Inn in Chapel Hill NC capturing every perfect moment of Halie and Michaels color-rich fall wedding! Their day was full of details and personal touches. Every guest, family and bridal party member felt important and loved as Halie and Michael showered…
