Our Anniversary!

Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

Well, I'm a few days late in posting this- but I think I have a good excuse...right? haha! I had every intention of writing this while we were on vacation, but I just never seemed to have the urge to pull my computer out and start writing! Strange... huh?!  While I do really love unplugging for a while- and enjoying time with my family- relaxing on the beach (duh!!) I love blogging and connecting too! I am going to really be working on blogging more of our personal lives and stories with you. Heaven knows there's plenty of Emmie stories to go around! 

Anyways... back on topic here! This past Sunday, July 12th, Michael and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary! I know, I can't really believe it either! We really were such babies at the time!! It's crazy to see how much has changed since then, but then again, there's a lot that hasn't changed too!

Planning our own wedding was when I really started to be passionate about weddings and wanted to start photographing them! I planned our own wedding on a super budget, and did so many things DIY- before it was really cool to have a DIY wedding!  I learned A LOT about wedding planning, and there's honestly not a lot I would change about our big day! I would say my biggest regret from my wedding day is not having a first look. I was SUPER nervous (all those people watching me all day! yikes!!) and I know that having a first look would have made me more excited instead! I walked down the aisle trying so hard not to cry that I ended up looking pissed off- and that is not very bridal! haha 

We got married in Virginia Beach, VA- where both of our parents live! I loooooved my wedding dress- and still do! And love the bright summery colors with our outdoor wedding.  And yes! I can't believe we got married outside... in July! But, I truthfully don't remember it being too hot- just a really fun day!!

Happy Anniversary Babe! I'm so glad to have you standing by my side. You are constantly encouraging, teaching, and strengthening me to be a better person.  You are the best Husband and Dad I could have ever imagined! Thank you for supporting me and my dreams!

We are officially back from vacation, and diving right back into work! I have SO much to share and am so excited to blog about the awesome sessions I've had- and this one is pretty special to my heart- Kayla is my niece! Michael & I cannot believe she is going to be a senior this next year! We are so proud of her, and are excited for her as she is looking at colleges (including Liberty, here in Lynchburg!!) 

We headed out early on Sunday morning and went down to the First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach.  This place is AMAZING! It is almost fairy-tale like, with all the greenery, and amazing views! We had a blast walking around the trails and snapping photos!

Sierra Vista Styled Shoot: Part 2. Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding Photographer

It's the moment you've been waiting for... part II of the Amazing Styled Shoot! ;) 

In all seriousness, I am so excited to share the sunset portion of the Styled Shoot that Megan Vaughan hosted earlier in the Spring! It was so awesome getting together with other photographers and learned and encouraging each other! Plus, our models and this amazing location were gooooooorgeous, which always makes it more fun! 

See the first part of the Styled Shoot in the woods here.  Then, we headed out into the open fields and tall grass while the sun was going down.  Such perfection!!

Then we moved over to the open fields of Sierra Vista, and got some stunning sunset photos with those beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in the background! I love the views this amazing venue offers! It's the perfect backdrop for a romantic wedding!

Clif & Jenn Maternity: Lynchburg, Virginia Photographer

Lynchburg, Virginia Photographer | Family and Maternity Photographer | Ashley Eiban Photography | www.ashleyeiban.com

I am so THRILLED to be sharing these photos with you today. I get emotional even writing this post and seeing that adorable baby bump! I have prayed over Jenn and am just so happy baby boy Griffin is on his way! I know this sounds crazy, but when praying over her, I always envisioned her pregnant! She is the model pregnant woman- all belly and it's just the cutest!! It really was such an honor to capture these special moments of Clif & Jenn! 

They had access to this amazing farmland, with all these beautiful barns and buildings- I was so in love! We stayed out there for the sunset, and man those amazing skies did not disappoint!!

Sierra Vista Styled Shoot: Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding Photographer

Sierra Vista Wedding Photographer, Lynchburg Virginia Wedding Photographer, Ashley Eiban Photography, www.ashleyeiban.com

I am SO EXCITED to finally share these images! A few months ago, I attended a workshop that Megan Vaughan Photography held at the stunning Sierra Vista.  Our models were perfect! They are seriously THE cutest!! And I swear, Amy is a Taylor Swift look-alike! 

There are so many photos from this amazing workshop, that I'm going to be splitting my blog posts into 2! The first one will be from the awesome setup we had in the middle of the woods. There was the most amazing details set up with moss, tree stumps, a beeeeauuutiful cake, candles, antlers, succulents, etc. The second shoot, to come, features the stunning mountains that Sierra Vista is famous for!
