Kesley and Ryan’s summer wedding at Oak Creek Farm had it all. Tears, lots of laughs, memorable moments, and a beautiful Virginia sunset. Their day was beautiful inside and out and I’m so happy to share it with you.

I know 2020 was a hard year for a lot of people. It was a hard year in a lot of ways. But I want to focus on the positives in this blog post. My business has continued to grow despite a global pandemic. We have gotten to foster a lot more doggos since I’ve been working from home almost the whole year.

Tyler and Annie got married at the stunning and historic Sunnyside Farm in Hamilton, Virginia. The weather was perfect for an early October wedding. Thankfully we were blessed with a beautiful overcast day and not a single drop of rain!! It was an emotional and fun day all around. I loved how thoughtful Annie’s details were to her. She incorporated many family heirlooms and things her mother had given her, which made it extra special.

Austin and Sami’s central Virginia barn wedding was emotional (and fun!) from start to finish. Their family and bridal party welcomed me like I was one of their own from the very beginning.

The question most brides agonize over while planning their big day—should I do a first look with my groom?! If you ask me as a wedding photographer? ABSOLUTELY.

Kody and Kate got married on the Fourth of July at the beautiful Layz S Ranch in central Virginia. These two and their entire bridal party were total troopers as we toughed out 90+ degree heat and direct sun to capture all of these amazing pictures. The day also included a father-daughter dance that started out with playing catch, surprise confetti cannons courtesy of the groomsmen, and Kate surprising Kody with Signature DJs’ awesome “Sparktacular Impact” exit

Y’all, 2019 has been so good to us. I “officially” started my business, shot four of my own weddings, second shot another three, and so many more things I will talk about here in a second.

If you don’t know me personally yet, you probably don’t know that I’m a serious numbers person. I’m talking I LOVE numbers. So here is a year-end wrap up in numbers:

Matt and Lindsey’s Virginia Farm wedding was absolutely perfect and as beautiful as their love story. There was not a single cloud in the sky all day and while it was a bit windy for late March we couldn’t have asked more more perfect weather. Matt and Lindsey’s first date was at a family game night and was basically a blind date. When Lindsey’s matron of honor/sister-in-law texted her the next day to see if she liked Matt, Lindsey and Matt were already hanging out (so I guess that was a yes)!
