We finally made it. After 5 years and 1.5 months of dating/engagement, we were finally going to become husband and wife. At the time, those 5 years felt like forever, but looking back, we’ve been married longer than we were together before we got married…and that’s CRAZY to think about.

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.

Austin and Hannah’s wedding at the stunning Barns of Madison County was so special and memorable! This was my first wedding ever where the ceremony had to stop after it started because it was DUMPING rain.

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

There is so much going on the week before your wedding. Finalizing the decorations, making sure everything is gathered in one easily accessible place, making sure none of the groomsmen show up late (lol). Here I am going to list a few things you should do the week before your wedding to make sure everything goes smoothly.
