Mike & Emilee's Wedding & Celebration at Boonsboro Country Club || Lynchburg, VA Wedding Photographer

I am SO happy I am able to share these images with you today! I know that Mike & Emilee, their entire families, and all of their guests and friends wondered if their wedding was going to happen because of the ‘blizzard of 2016.’  Mike said it well when he said that he doesn’t know of many people who would be able to watch ALL of their month and months of wedding plans get tossed out the window because of snow.  Emilee handled this situation with such grace, and if you read their blog post from Monday, you saw that they actually had a small, intimate ceremony in their pastors yard on Saturday, and then Boonsboro Country Club in Lynchburg, VA was able to open up and they had their ceremony on Sunday morning before their families had to fly back out.  

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a couple so happy together- especially after all that they had been through the previous week! But Mike & Emilee were all smiles- all day- and after their ceremony they laughed and kissed throughout their entire reception! Then they tied up their snow boots and we walked around the gorgeous grounds of Boonsboro County Club and got the most romantic portraits of them. If it’s going to snow on your wedding day, you better take advantage of that and get some photos! ;)

John & Shannon: Snow Day Maternity Photos || Lynchburg, Virginia Photographer

I hope you aren't tired of seeing snow pictures yet, because well, I've got a lot more coming! We don't get snow often here, and when we do, well we've got to take advantage of it. On Friday once the snow started I was so anxious to get out of the house and get some photos in the snow! Little did I know, I'd be pretty much in the snow Saturday evening for Mike & Emilee's snowy elopement, and all day Sunday for their wedding ceremony, and Macklin & Shannon's engagement session! I wouldn't trade any of it- even though I do hate the cold- I love the snow!  (well, other than getting stuck Sunday evening and needing a lot of shovels and man-power to get me unstuck! oops!) 

Friday afternoon I put out an alert on Facebook for anyone that could make it to me (regretting that decision to not buy 4wd right about now...) for a quick session in the snow! John & Shannon reached out and met me at a church right across the street from my house! They were one of my very first weddings I shot solo, and are expecting a baby boy soon! I was so excited to get some photo of them and her adorable baby bump!! It was freeeeeezing, and of course it started to sleet right when we got out there, but they were seriously troopers!!

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
