Weekend Update: Central Virginia Wedding Photographer

Happy Monday Friends! I know Mondays get a bad rap, and I understand- but I get so excited for Mondays because it's back to routine and I get to look through the fun wedding images from the weekend! And today, I am suuuuper thrilled to share the photos from this weekend's wedding! Sam & Larissa got married at the Wintergreen Resort, which is just about an hour from the Lynchburg area, and it's such a gorgeous place to get married! 

These two are just beyond cute together, and they were both so happy all day- and goodness it shows in their photos! I had the hardest time picking a few sneak peek photos to edit early this morning! The weather held off just in time for their ceremony to end before the clouds rolled in and it started pouring! The rain finally lifted & we went out for "sunset photos" which were more like fog photos- but oh my goodness was it beyond beautiful! I cannot wait for the full blog post later this week!

Cat's Bridal: Bedford, Virginia Bridal Portraits

It was POURING as I drove out to meet Cat and her Mom at The Historic Avenel in Bedford, Virginia. Is there a word for more than pouring? Because that's exactly what it felt like! I was certain I was going to make it to the venue and we would have to reschedule, or do all the photos inside. The Avenel is beautiful inside, so we could have totally made it work, but the outside is beyond gorgeous! But, oh my goodness, it was meant to be because as I pulled onto Avenel Avenue, the rain stopped and the sun started shining! It turned into a beautiful evening- not too warm, the light! It was a night meant to be photographed! I loved it! Cat looked absolutely gorgeous in her bridal gown, and we had so much fun around the gorgeous property!

Lenis & Becky's Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard Summer Wedding in Charlottesville, VA

Shooting a wedding at Pippin Hill Vineyards has been a bucket list venue for me to photograph a wedding at for such a long time, and I was finally able to cross it off my list this past weekend for Lenis & Becky's wedding! There are so many gorgeous wineries in the Charlottesville area, but Pippin Hill is one of my favorites! The view of the winery overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, the patio & tasting room, everything is beautiful- it was the perfect location for Lenis & Becky's wedding! 

Everything about their wedding was elegant and classy! From the staff handing out champagne and rose' as guests arrived for their wedding, Becky's stunning bridal gown, the ceremony on the lawn under the chuppah, to the gorgeous ballroom reception with a full band and the most amazing florals and the best dinner ever.

Lenis & Becky had such a sweet first look moment and we were able to get tons of their family and wedding party portraits done before the ceremony started! Their ceremony had a Jewish twist and was so touching and beautiful! The summer view of the mountains behind them was just perfection! And we also took advantage of some time during dinner and got some super romantic photos as the sun was setting! I am so excited to share this one with you guys! 

We LOVED working with the amazing vendors that made this wedding a stunning success!

James & Tresa: A Knights Gambit Vineyard Summer Wedding in Charlottesville, Virginia

When I first chatted with James & Tresa last year about their Knight's Gambit Vineyard wedding in Charlottesville, Virginia, I knew it was going to be an amazing day! And then after we took their engagement session last fall (view their Sweet Briar Autumn engagement session here!) I had been counting down the days! They initially fell in love with Knight's Gambit from the gorgeous location (OMG the views there!!) and after talking with the owners they knew they wanted to get married there! They really wanted a wedding location that was in nature, and had a laid back and family friendly feel- they found the perfect fit! 

James & Tresa initially met on Match.Com! Their first meeting they went on a short walk, that turned into over 3 hours talking and walking about Lake Elkhorn. They absolutely love going on adventures together, from hiking and camping, boating, biking, and even making adventures out of laying grass seed or making dinner. They really know how to have a blast together, out of the big and little moments! 

They were so excited to include all of their family in the wedding- including all of their nieces and nephews (10 kids in the wedding party alone!!) Their outdoor ceremony overlooked the vineyard and mountains, and their tent reception made everything feel intimate! This wedding was so gorgeous, fun and I'm so excited for these two!!
