We worked with some pretty amazing couples in 2019! Here are a few of our favorite moments…

DAVID & LAUREN

A little sneak peek from David and Lauren’s wedding day at Burlington Plantation! This is such a beautiful property and we had the most amazingly perfect weather… and really, this crew was just so. much. fun. Narrowing down which photos to post here took some serious effort.

STEPHANIE & TRAVIS

A few weeks ago, we had an amazing excuse to take a little trip to Hawaii- my cousin Travis and his fiance Stephanie got married in Maui! We extended our trip a little, had an amazing time, and captured so many gorgeous photos… but Trav and Steph’s wedding day at Royal Lahaina Resort was definitely the highlight of it all. Most of my Dad’s side of the family made the trip so capturing this wedding day was extra fun for us. Hawaii is a photographer’s dream- can we do this all over again please?!

2018 WEDDING FAVORITES

We captured lots of unforgettable moments in 2018… big ones, little ones, romantic ones, serious ones, funny ones, and lots of in between moments when no one realized we were watching. It’s basically impossible to narrow it down to a small set of favorites, but below are a few of mine! And if I had to do it over again tomorrow, I might choose completely different images. But today I was focused on the moments… with a few pretty scenes and timeless portraits mixed in there. Which is pretty appropriate since that’s exactly how I’d describe my style of photography 🙂

 

Thank you to all of these awesome couples and their friends/families for trusting us with capturing these memories for them!

BLAINE & SARAH

Blaine and Sarah’s wedding day was our last wedding of 2018! Technically, their wedding day is September 15th- the day they were originally planning to get married at Tredegar Iron Works. But Hurricane Florence rolled through Richmond that week and forced them to rethink their plans. Instead of asking so many of their out of town guests to travel in the terrible weather, they decided to postpone their celebration and just have a small ceremony that day. But two months later, a change in venue, and lots of replanning by Jennings Whiteway and her amazing team at Belles & Whistles, they finally got to have the celebration they always wanted… below are a few of our favorites from the day!

JON & ALISSA

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Harrison!

We were so excited and honored to be able to be a part of this wedding! We’ve been friends with Jon and his family for the past 15 years- sharing way too many beers tailgating and cheering on the Hokies at VT football games. One day he introduced us to a girl named Alissa- a girl who immediately made us feel like we’ve been friends with her as long as we’ve known Jon. As individuals, these two radiate warmth, love, humor, and happiness. Together, those qualities are all magnified. And based on all of the sweet, funny, sentimental, and heartfelt things their friends and family said about them on their wedding day, I know there are a lot of people who believe in this marriage and will be there to love and support them in the years to come… Travis and I included!

JAKE & KATHERINE

A few of my favorites from Jake and Katherine’s wedding day! I can’t say too much about this day because I had complete laryngitis while I was photographing it- ha 🙂 But really, a huge thank you to these two and their friends/family for being so patient with me, and a huge thank you to Travis for speaking for me and directing most of the day. Though this day really needed very little direction- they planned such an easy, laid back, warm, and welcoming celebration. The whole day just revolved around spending time with and connecting all of their favorite people (and their dog, Ginny!). We were honored to be a part of it!
