Winter Wedding at On the Glen | Roanoke Wedding Photographer This is the first time ever that I am finishing up a wedding blog post this early in January! We are usually finished up with our wedding season by November but this year (2021 I guess I should say) was a little different. Emma, one of my friends since we were kids inquired for her very own wedding!! And yes I feel so old saying that. But I was so excited to be able to work with Braxton & Emma because they are so much fun and their joy is so infectious to be around! When they were describing their wedding I knew it was going to b ..read more

“Dundie” Awards Series | Virginia Wedding Photographer We made it. That’s how I feel about navigating the uncertainties this year has held, taking the biggest and most uncertain leap by quitting my job, and tackling our BIGGEST wedding season yet!!! This year has forced us to grow outside out of comfort zones in many ways but man it’s been rewarding to work with all these incredible couples, turned friends :) And I love this time of year because I get to share all my favorite moments, not just pretty photos- nothing wrong with just sharing all the pretty things but for me, there is so much mor ..read more

Late Fall Engagement Session at Elmwood Park | Roanoke Wedding Photographer Emma & Braxton are everything that we love about our EHP couples! This session was a C O L D one but how could you even know by just looking at these photos?! If you can’t tell by Emma’s laugh in *almost* every photo, we had so much fun working with these two. Her laugh is infectious, in fact, even as I write this post I can hear her laugh in these photos and it just makes me smile! I know I might sound biased but we work with the best and most fun couples around. I know photos are not usually on the “favorite thin ..read more

Rustic Fall Wedding at Avon Hill Lodge| Charlottesville Wedding Photographer I cannot believe I am sharing our last fall wedding of 2021!! We have been a part of so many amazing weddings this fall season and I’m so sad it’s all coming to a close but what a way to end the year! Connor & Kaylynn had to navigate some crazy wedding day circumstances- rogue eyelashes, intense wind, frigid temperatures, and more! But I could physically see the stress melt away when Kaylynn saw Connor at their first look! I mean how can you be stressed when you see a reaction like Connor’s?! I seriously don’t kno ..read more

Boars Head Resort Engagement Session | Charlottesville Wedding Photographer I don’t think I have laughed as much as I did during this engagement in Charlottesville, Virginia. Connor had us laughing the whole time and I’m sure you can you tell that by Kaylynn’s smile in these. We love working with couples that are fun, laid back, have a sense of humor and of course, value photography! And Connor & Kaylynn fit this persona so well. In fact, they found us through Christina Morgan a fellow Virginia photographer!!! Funny story actually, we actually met Christina & Chris at a bridal show yea ..read more

Fall Wine Colored Rustic Wedding | Roanoke Wedding Photographer I have actually known Allison since we were really little- was it elementary?! But with her being in the younger class we never had the chance to hang out and honestly I’m so sad because since we’ve reconnected all these years later, I just adore her!!! In fact, I still remember when she inquired for their day over a year ago… I was NERVOUS!! Nervous because I so badly wanted to work with her & Dakota but I wasn’t sure if I was cool enough! Haha!! But ya know, as lame as I feel some days, this lady has ALWAYS been so supportiv ..read more

Fall Ivory & Gold Wedding at a Winery | Roanoke Wedding Photographer I will forever remember this beautiful wedding day at Virginia Mountain Vineyards and it’s probably not for the reason you’d imagine! I thought I had seen it all when it comes to working a wedding but Beth & Taylor had things planned that left me completely speechless and I was in tears by the end of the night. But before we get to that I have to share that there were so many obstacles that Taylor & Beth had to navigate in order to tie the knot! They had probably the most crazy and bipolar weather forecast that ch ..read more

Fall Rustic Wedding at Glenburn Farms | Roanoke Wedding Photographer I don’t think I have ever photographed a wedding that had perfect weather before this day. The sun was shinning, the clouds were perfect, the temperature was absolutely divine and even when the sun went down it wasn’t bitterly cold! And I couldn’t choose a better couple to have these weather conditions. If you remember their engagement session earlier this year was VERY WINDY and the sky looked a little ominous. Ever since that day I have prayed for good weather. Now technically speaking I pray that for every EHP couple, but ..read more

Stony Man Mountain Engagement Session | National Park Wedding Photographer This has got to be the most challenging shoot we’ve done weather wise in a long time. It wasn’t the hike up or down, it wasn’t the cloudy skies, it definitely wasn’t these two (they killed it actually!!!!) it was the WIND!! I always say you can’t mess up engagement photos to my couples but sometimes the weather can be just about impossible to work with! Wes & Jess did amazingly though working in these conditions! They wanted to incorporate their more adventurous side in their photos by hiking up the Stony Man Trail ..read more

Fall Boho Chic Wedding | Richmond Wedding Photographer I have been looking so forward to this day!! We actually met Tim & Caroline at another one of our couple’s a few years back. We remembered Tim right away because of one the most unique and special bonds he has with his Best Man Jack. These two share a bond that I can’t explain but I love it! In fact, these two care so deeply for their bridal party, more than any other couple this year I think!! I can tell how much they meant to Tim & Caroline because of all the “little things” they did for them like the most sentimental gifts, spec ..read more
