Diana + Stephen | Middleburg Wedding

Wednesday, September 12th, 2012

Alas. A day late. But so worth the wait.

Diana and Stephen are somewhere in the Caribbean right now. Sipping pretty drinks and getting a tan. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that Diana is my childhood best friend. We met when we were 6, rode horses together, and when she asked me to photograph her wedding, we got really close again. It has been such a blessing to know that she is in my life.

Diana and Stephen are a lighthearted couple. They have fun and the love each other so well. I had a conversation with Diana a few months ago that bought me back to our BFF days. We talked for over 2 hours, but talked about how Stephen is just so great for her – how they compliment each other. I love this couple. The Briar Patch Bed and Breakfast was the perfect location – Diana spends SO much time in Virigina’s horse country, and Stephen lives just a few minutes away. I’m so excited to share these images!

Brian + Marcy | Richmond Virginia Portraits

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

I microwaved Friday’s left over curried chicken. Chad might be upset when he gets home because the house will, yet again, smell like curry. Sitting on the couch under my fleece Redskins blanket, I went back and forth between blogging Marriage Monday or blogging Brian and Marcy. I think because I miss them already, I chose to blog the sweet couple.

Brian and Marcy are not engaged. In fact, their first date was right around the time Chad and I moved to Charlottesville which was almost one year ago. But this couple is one of my favorites. When Chad and I moved away to Richmond, we only had a few things holding us back from actually making that decision. Marcy and Brian were one of them. Marcy is a photographer, and Brian is a graphic designer/audio tech guy for Portico Church. They are intentional with each other, and I love to see the ways in which they encourage each other, build up one another, and stay spiritually connected. At the same time, they are SO able to joke around with each other. They make whatever room they’re in, funner [yes... funner].

I expressed the desire to want to practice posing and Marcy said she and Brian wanted some professional portraits together! So, the obvious was planned. They came over the other night to have dinner and allow me to shoot their portraits. Although, I didn’t have much to practice with because they are SO comfortable in front of the camera. You’ll see what I mean. They just WORKED it. B&M, miss y’all already!

I love it when guys know when things are being taken too seriously…BAHAHAHA. [Brian, don't hate me. This brings joy to my life...]

Marcy doesn’t have a “good side.” EVERY ANGLE is good.

As I was walking away, Brian decided to pick up Marcy and spin her around. I’m so glad I decided to snap these next two. The second one MIGHT become a canvas…

Sam + Jordan | Harrisonburg Virginia Engagement

Friday, August 26th, 2011

They met in the library. Sam asked Jordan a question about the computers. He knew the answer, but he needed an excuse to talk to her. Then he said she looked familiar, “Are you in intervarsity?” he asked. He knew she was. He had seen her before. Many times. Jordan had his attention long before she realized. Sam and Jordan’s relationship started and grew at JMU, which means when they told me they wanted to shoot on campus, I was SO excited. We spent most of our night out on the quad. A typical JMU activity even if you AREN’T taking engagement photos. We had the entire quad to ourselves. No students, bikers, or ultimate frisbee players, just light. Beautiful golden light. I can’t wait until their wedding! J-M-U… Duuuuukes…

I call this my earthquake picture because I was editing this when the ground began to twitch.

Uh oh… the KISSING ROCK

Charity + Chris | Central Virginia Marriott Ranch Wedding

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

Sometimes I wonder if God tickles us.

Before you click away, just hear me out. Have you ever been so joy filled that you laugh? Out loud? You’re heart starts to pound, you smile, you’re wiggly, and you know that there is a higher power at work. Not because you can prove it, but because you know it and you feel it. I fell in love with Charity and her wedding. And was absolutely tickled. I don’t have much else to say about these two. They reek of mature spirituality, passion for Jesus, and love for each other and others. I don’t know them very well, but these are truths displayed and spoken about at their wedding. It’s serious storybook stuff, y’all. Anyway, LOVE to you, Charity and Chris. So excited for you!
