Cody & Caitlin's Sundara Wedding

Sundara Wedding Venue in Boones Mill, Virginia

I think I can officially say that fall is here! After Cody & Caitlin’s wedding this weekend, the leaves are turning in Central Virginia and I’m excited for the beauty that comes with it! (Got to find the positive to the impending cold weather!!) Cody & Caitlin got married at the GORGEOUS Sundara wedding venue in Boones mill, Virginia and WOW WOW WOW you guys- this place is STUNNING! Everywhere you look, every corner in the house, on the grounds, is beyond picture worthy! I could have taken photos of these two all day!

When I tell you that Cody & Caitlin’s wedding day was perfect, I mean it was PERFECT. The best weather, sweetest wedding party and family, everything ran on time, the caterers even had a plate of dairy free food for me!! (Can you tell I’m excited?! I was STOKED to have a warm, yummy meal that was allergy friendly over my PB&J from home haha!)

Their ceremony was just so beautiful! Under a gorgeous oak tree, overlooking open fields and mountains and then their reception was in the event tent and was just so beautiful! I am beyond excited to share photos from their day, so enough babbling!!

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!

Atkinson Farms Wedding in Danville, Virginia

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!

It was such an honor to be there with you guys, Brian & Crystal! I hope you loved every single second 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!!

 
Daylight savings time ending is the actually haunted part of the season… 🎃 Don’t forget to take that into consideration when planning showings and open houses! Earlier sunset times mean after-work appointments will be dark, which mean
