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!!

Geoff & Genna's Bold Rock Cidery Wedding

I just want to clone Geoff & Genna! These two are so sweet and so much fun! Their engagement session was a blast and my sides hurt from laughing for a week! Their Bold Rock Cidery wedding was no exception and being there with their closest friends and family made it even more special!

They started the day at the gorgeous Blue Ridge Farm, an Air B&B in Afton, Virginia with their friends and family. It was so much fun to have all their loved ones in the house getting ready together, and such a gorgeous setting!

Geoff & Genna had to make the hard decision to cut their guest list down because of COVID, and included just their closest friends and family members. Their ceremony was small, intimate, and beautiful overlooking the Bold Rock Cidery stream and there was not a dry eye in sight. They had so many special moments, from a good friend officiating, walking her Dad’s dog down the aisle with her, her brother performing a song he wrote just for them, it was amazing! But, the tears didn’t last long! The confetti guns went off and everyone celebrated with these two!

We laughed as we took portraits of them around Bold Rock’s property, and then celebrated with them as they had their reception in the cidery, shared their first dances, had a delicious meal, and danced away on the back deck!

Congratulations again Geoff & Genna! Your day was beautiful & I loved being a part of it!!

David & Allie: Southern Fall Wedding in Harrisonburg, Virginia Wedding

Fall wedding season has officially begun and I cannot even begin to think of a wedding that was better suited to kick off the season! David and Allie got married at the Barn at Kline’s Mill right outside of Harrisonburg, Virginia and I am OBSESSED with their wedding day and both of them!

Allie was easily the happiest, most joyful bride ever! She was radiating joy all day and her bridesmaids and family were the sweetest people ever! We loved being there through the getting ready moments with them all, through the ceremony, portrait time, and reception. Let me tell you guys something- these two are LOVED and you could tell on their wedding day! I was smiling the entire time through culling and editing their sneak peek and had the hardest time narrowing their photos down to a blog post! A great problem to have!

These two have been dating since high school and together for over eight years! This day was a long time coming! The foggy weather and misty ceremony didn’t even make them bat an eye- they were just so thrilled to be here in this moment!

THANK YOU to the amazing vendors that made this day so perfect!

OH MAN! I was just SO excited for Brian & Crystal’s Wedding! These two are TROOPERS- let me tell you! They originally planned their wedding day for April 2020, and rescheduled to July 11th. They said- we’ve waited this long- what’s a few more months! So sweet!

Their wedding day was so beautiful! We started the morning at Crystal’s childhood home in Danville, Virginia, where her sister and Mom helped get her get ready and into her beautiful gown! Brian & Crystal had the sweetest first look moments, a gorgeous ceremony, ahhhh-mazing sunset portraits, and such a fun reception!
