Mike & Emilee's Snow Day Elopement: Lynchburg, VA Wedding Photographer

I don't even know where to begin with this post! Mike & Emilee's wedding weekend was crazy stressful with ups and downs and a snow storm that hit the entire east coast and shut down the entire city of Lynchburg, VA.  Their Saturday wedding wasn't going to happen when their venue couldn't keep their roads cleared and couldn't have the liability of having all of their employees brave the snow.  This couple was calm and collected throughout the weekend, and even was featured on the local news! (View their story here!) 

When they realized they couldn't make their wedding happen on Saturday like planned, they decided to drive to their pastor's house (who was stuck in his driveway) and eloped in his yard.  It was such a beautiful ceremony & I loved being there to capture the images from those moments!!  

Then, Mike & Emilee had their full wedding celebration on Sunday morning with their friends and family that could make it! It was so beautiful and I can't wait to share images from their wedding day!  Stay tuned!! yay!

Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding Photographer: Ches & Meagan's Wedding at Old Pate Chapel

Ohhh yay! So excited to share our first wedding of 2016! With the year starting out this way, we just know it's going to be an amazing year!!! Ches & Meagan got married at the Old Pate Chapel in Lynchburg, Virginia (701 Thomas Road) and then had their reception at the Bottling Company! It was a dreary, chilly & misty day- but that didn't damper the fun, love and joy from their celebration! They had adorable details- like her bright blue running shoes, 'Mastiff' themed socks, college team rivals, and their AMAZING dog, Mia, even came for a visit!! 

Ches & Meagan decided to not do a first look & Ches' reaction was by far the sweetest! Him & Meagan were both in tears as she was walking down the aisle with her Dad!

Lynchburg, Virginia Proposal Photographer || Andrew & Allison

Can I just start this out with serious props to Andrew- who set up this entire romantic proposal, but also contacted & hired me to come out and photograph the entire thing! So many guys don't even think about having this special moment photographed, much less doing the research and making it happen!

It was such an honor to be a part of this & photograph this amazing moment! Andrew had a whole plan, which involved her family members, candles, flowers, and a gorgeous park setting! Everything was so beautiful- and this couple is seriously adorable!! Isn't Allison going to make the most beautiful bride!?!! 

How amazing is this beautiful ring?! Goodness Andrew- great job! I totally have a weakness for a stunning rose gold ring! <3

Richmond, Virginia Maternity Photographer: Don & Michelle

There is such a special excitement and joy when working with first-time parents, and this was especially true with Don & Michelle! It was so much fun getting to meet them and take some maternity photos for them! Michelle is seriously just glowing and has such a cute little bump!! 

We met up at the gorgeous Forest Hill Park, in Richmond, Virginia! There were so many beautiful backdrops for photos- we could have walked around all day... except Michelle probably would have killed me since she's pregnant and all! ;) 

Emerson's 4th Birthday Party || Lynchburg, VA Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Yeaaaaahhhh, this is embarrassing... Yes, Emmie's birthday was in November, but you know how my story goes! ha! Let's just say it's a resolution to keep more up to date with our own photos! ;) 

Emerson was so excited to turn 4- another year closer to kindergarten and her best friends. ha.  Fall was so busy for me, I totally dropped the ball on planning something! Much to my relief, Amazement Square came through big time and did all the hard work for me! 

First up, she choose breakfast at Pok-e-joes, where they always make her a gigantic plate of chocolate chip pancakes, no matter what time it is! 

Then we headed downtown for some play time at Amazement Square. It's been a few months since she got to explore there, so she had a blast at all the different exhibits! 

Then the birthday room with all her friends! Our amazing friend Miranda made the coolest birthday cake, and the staff at Amazement Square were so awesome and entertained the kids and helped with everything! Yay for low-key and easy birthday parties! (and not having to clean the house!! haha) 

Cannot believe my little baby is FOUR! Goodness gracious I don't even want to think about it- even a few months later! haha! She's growing up to be the sweetest little thing! It's so exciting to see the person she is becoming!!
