Read MoreKelsey and Cody // Vineyard Wedding
Cody and Kelsey are so wonderfully kind and sweet. They are the kind of couple that asks a photographer to take a spontaneous photo of them with a loved one during their reception and then says “Thank you so much!” with true appreciation.

Jenny and Chris were married at Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing, a beautiful outdoor recreation center that hosts camps, retreats, and special events.

A well-timed rainstorm passed through before it was time for them to meet at the end of the aisle….
Read MoreDanae and Don // Vinton, VA Wedding
The one word I would use to describe Danae and Don’s wedding is sweet. Everything about their love is so sweet and tender, from the way they hold hands to how they look into each other’s eyes. What started as a friendship of multiple years blossomed into something much, much more.
Read MoreLesley and Michael // Staunton, VA Wedding
This was one of those weddings where, even though my feet were killing me from walking around with heavy camera equipment all day, I had to stay and dance at the reception because it was just so fun.

I sat down with Kelly this week to chat about all things bridal and marriage:
