CARTER & LIDDY || Boonsboro Country Club Wedding

Boonsboro Country Club in Lynchburg, Virginia

I am SO excited to share photos from Cater & Liddy’s GORGEOUS wedding day! They initially planned to get married in July, but pushed their date back to November to help keep their friends and family safe. We truly had the perfect day- the most gorgeous weather, an amazing vendor team that kept things running seamlessly!

Liddy & Carter got ready at the beautiful Boonsboro Country Club, where we did a beautiful no peek first look! They were SO brave and we were able to get some photos of the two of them during the daylight! Carter kept his eyes closed and we were able to soak up some golden light before dark! Their ceremony was at St John’s Episcopal Church, and then back to Boonsboro for a gorgeous reception where the venue was transformed and an amazing band!

Congratulations again Carter & Liddy! So happy for you guys!!

JUSTIN & TABITHA || Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding

Riverview Manor in Hurt, Virginia

AHHHH! I am SO excited to share Justin & Tabitha’s Wedding! These two originally had a March 2020 wedding scheduled, and sadly had to postpone their big wedding. They had a gorgeous elopement at The Peaks of Otter Lodge in Bedford, Virginia! But this past weekend we finally got to celebrate them with their friends and family, out at the gorgeous Riverview Manor in Hurt, Virginia!

The afternoon started with Tabitha and her friends and family getting ready together! Seeing her sweet sisters and Mom help get her in her dress and all dolled up was such a sweet highlight! You can tell these two are so very loved! Their ceremony was just before sunset and overlooked the beautiful fall colors in Central Virginia, and they said their vows, exchanged rings, and even washed each others feet!

Their reception was in the barn at Riverview and seeing all the families and kids dance the night away was such a blast! I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many kids on a dance floor before!

Congratulations (again!!) you two! It was such an honor to be a part of your special day!

Dusty & Heidi: Trivium Estate Wedding in Forest, Virginia

TRIVIUM ESTATE WEDDING- FOREST, VA

Y’all! I am so excited to share Dusty & Heidi’s wedding!! Heidi owns The Trivium Estate, and has become a good friend over the years! When she reached out asking me to shoot their wedding, I was so honored!

Dusty & Heidi got married on the 4th of July, and carried the Patriotic red, white & blue theme throughout the day- in the most classy way! It was so fun to see her dusty blue dress and sparkly shoes, with the red bouquet! Just so stunning! And wait until you see the stunning cake!! Heidi made THE most stunning bride!

This was my first big wedding back after a pause from COVID, and I could not have had a better wedding welcoming me back into it! Their guests were all so happy for them, and had the best time at the reception! You could really tell how much these two are LOVED!

Thank you so much Dusty & Heidi for letting me and Mike be a part of your special day! We love you guys so much!!

Getting Ready Rooms || What to look for in your getting ready room for your photos!

I think you would be surprised to hear that one of the most overlooked, but important aspects of a wedding day, is the getting ready time. This time with your closest friends and family is something to truly cherish, and most likely, important moments that you want to have documented. But, often times, the getting ready room is not the perfect place for taking priceless photos!

As you are touring venues, keep a special eye out for the Bridal Getting Ready Space! Aim for a space that has at least one window, as well as plenty of room for you and your bridesmaids to not only hang out, but also to get ready! These rooms can fill up pretty quickly when everyone has their clothes, makeup, hair, snacks, etc!

Know that I will ask your bridesmaids to do a quick clean up before getting you in your dress- you don’t want to see reminders of old water bottles or snack bags in the background of you getting zipped up in your dress by your Mom, but a teeny tiny room can make that very difficult.

So, what happens if you fall in love with a venue, but the getting ready room isn’t anything to be excited about? It’s okay- I’ll just ask you to be a little flexible! Often times, especially for church weddings, the bridal room is a preschool classroom, filled with bight colors and plastic toys, so for this, I will actually have you do those final getting ready moments outside. I often look for a porch, a pretty doorway, or space outside that will help us get those gorgeous photos without the clutter and distraction!
