KATEY + CASEY: BOHEMIAN WEDDING IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS
Katey and Casey's wedding day took place in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia nearby Charlottesville at The Montfair Resort Farm. These two outdoor lovers camped and fished the night before their wedding. Then woke up in the beautiful mountains on their wedding day with their families. They kept the day simple and calm without any bridal parties or big to-dos. Their focus was on family, each other, and pure celebration. The dark clouds and light fog rolled in prior to the ceremony creating a magical setting for the ceremony. After the ceremony Katy and Casey took a little hike around the property, reveled in moment, and even took a ride in a canoe. The rain came after all the photos were taken; the couple and guests were cozy in the lodge for dinner and toasts. This wedding was absolutely incredible, and I am so grateful to have witnessed such a blissful union. Cheers to Katey & Casey!
Megan + Zach: Countryside Brunch Wedding
Megan and Zach were married June 3, 2017 at L'auberge Provencale. The day started with greetings from the Inn's resident kitty who was a sweet stand in for Megan and Zach's cat at home. The couple had a sweet first look, and walked joyfully together through the orchard and fields on the property. It was hard to catch them not laughing! After the beautiful sunny ceremony facing the Blue Ridge, the couple greeted their guests and brunch cocktails begun. The hors d'oeuvres were a visual parade. The dream brunch {breakfast} foods of waffles and quiche were served for the meal. Then to finish the feast their cake was a traditional french wedding cake: a Croquembouche surrounded by spun sugar and violets. This wedding day was endlessly sweet, and I loved every moment. Congratulations Megan & Zach!

GARY + KATIE : VIRGINIA ANNIVERSARY SESSION
Katie and Gary were married five years ago. They were young and did not have official wedding photographs taken, so for their anniversary they decided to take the opportunity to get their wedding portraits. I love when couples continue to honor each other past the wedding day. The day can be beautiful, but creating a beautiful life together is truly what we should celebrate. I met these two down by the water on a sunny evening at Jones Point Park in Alexandria, Virginia, and loved every minute of working with them!
KATEY + CASEY: LAKE ANNA ENGAGEMENTS
These two free-spirited lovers invited me to their family's home on Lake Anna in Mineral, Virginia for their engagement session. They spent time here early on in their relationship, and wanted to honor their history together and love for the outdoors. Before Katey and Casey got engaged they quit their jobs and took a road trip across the country exploring, hiking, and camping every night. Now they are getting married in May, and are planning on building a tiny home soon after. I love it when people truly follow their hearts like these two!
