The day was cold. And by cold I mean at one part during portraits we checked and it was EIGHT degrees!! But, let me tell you, Justin + Ashley were troopers! Their story begins YEARS ago on the ball field. Her brothers + Justin and his brothers played ball together. So naturally, they were around […]

Raise your hand if you were as shocked as we were at how expensive weddings are? If you’re reading this you’re probably trying to plan your own wedding + have no idea where to start within your budget (because let’s face it- things add up quickly!) Fun fact: The average wedding costs anywhere from $19,000-$33,000. […]

Ronnie + Nicole are real troopers! Not only did they drive down from Williamsburg, but they also put up with the frigid temperatures we had at their engagement session! And it was SO worth it!

Picture the perfect fall day: nice crisp, cool air, slightly overcast + the ground COVERED in every leaf imaginable. That was exactly how Russell + Kelly’s wedding day started off!

We met Walter + Christina at.. you guessed it- a wedding! Christina was actually a bridesmaid in Stephen + Emily’s wedding and we are always so honored when bridesmaids contact us to photograph their own wedding!! We loved exploring Belle Isle with these two and their massive Great Dance “puppy” Silas! No one could’ve asked […]

Our first fall wedding of this season was definitely one for the books! The weather was cool + crisp with slight showers/downpours. No one could get over how quickly the weather temperature changed between August and the first day of September! Like minded people tend to gravitate towards like minded people + that’s exactly what […]

Emily and Stephen met at Longwood University. Well really, their love story runs a little bit deeper than that. Emily was working at her family store + in walks Stephen. Long story short, Emily got his phone number (but not by her own doing) and the rest is history! I’ve known Emily for at least […]

Blake + Kayla got married on the perfect June day! Kayla, much like myself, had been checking the weather for months, days, and hours leading up to her wedding day. In fact, the week prior to the wedding they were calling for 80% chance of showers, but boy were they wrong! Their day turned out […]
