Picture. Perfect. Everything from this wedding was just that: picture perfect. From the beautiful flowers to the incredible backdrop, Ryan and Stephanie’s wedding was a stunner. Not to mention, the bride’s beauty just about took our breath away. After we had caught our breath, a 18 person bridal party was a buzz for this special day. Everyone having a blast and incredibly kind, made Ryan and Stephanie’s wedding only more enjoyable to be a part of. The Tide’s Inn hosted the backdrop for a seaside wedding and with special twists like the bride’s cowboy boots, we loved every detail. Since then, until now, we just can’t stop talking about these pictures because to us, the couple makes them just perfect.

Jesse & Samantha

Traveling is a part of the job and we love it. For Samantha and Jesse’s wedding, we traveled through the great mountains of West Virginia. Literally driving “over the river and through the woods,” we wondered when we would arrive at our destination. But a state park and a small Swiss village later, we did. Bali Farms was a hidden treasure and we couldn’t wait to meet the couple that had found it. Samantha couldn’t have been any sweeter and Jesse more a gentleman. These two were, in every way, picture perfect. But more than that, perfectly in love. The wedding was held on top of a mountain; complete with feather throwing, dancing in the moonlight, and setting up camp under the stars. This wedding was what we like to call… delicious! Plus, we were told we resembled the Cullins. Are we allowed to have favorites? We sure hope so!

Diego & Nichelle

Sweet. Loving. Joyous. Words that define this couple and the incredible wedding that showcased a love so sweet and pure, the greatest of love stories are no measure. As the day started, love and support was evident from everyone around. But the greatest measure of love was displayed as Diego and Nichelle had their first sight. Nerves were evident but so was unrelenting love and passion for one another. Just the way Diego looks at Nichelle was enough to melt our hearts. As the day progressed, everywhere you turned color defined the happiness and fun between this couple. Not to mention, they were incredible dancers! We know this is a love sure to last the test of time.

Ryan & Stephanie

“The good o’l days.” You remember those days; collegiate love blossoming while you attend classes and go to football games. For this couple, their love was all the same but while you were in the stands, they were on the field cheering on the team. As we photographed this couple along UVA’s beautiful campus, their love story unfolded. Our last stop was the tree, where in earlier years, Ryan and Stephanie had carved their initials. This symbol of love made us love the story of their courtship even more.

Ryan & Hannah

It’s always a pleasure getting the opportunity to photograph a friend’s wedding but this time it was extra special. Ryan, was a college roommate and a friend I will always treasure the joy of knowing. When Ryan called and told me of his engagement, I was thrilled for him. He introduced us to Hannah at their wedding and we knew exactly what made him choose her. Undeniable sweetness and beauty exuded from her gentle spirit. She was the ideal match for Ryan and we felt blessed to be a part of two such incredible people’s wedding. Their first sight made us swoon and the rest of the day only surpassed our expectations. Ryan and Hannah, we pray the Lord’s richest blessings over your marriage and future together!

Bryan & Kathryn

We first met Kathryn at a bridal fair and instantly hit it off. Little did we know that the meeting that day would lead to the opportunity for us to shoot some of the most precious maternity pictures to date. A few years after meeting, Kathryn told us she was pregnant and we couldn’t have been more excited for her and Bryan. Bryan and Kathryn invited us to their family’s farm for a maternity session. As they led us to an old farm house, our exploring nature was intrigued. Bryan began to explain to us the history of the farm and we were even more intrigued! The house spoke of charm and character that we couldn’t wait to capture. Next, we went out to a pasture behind the house, where a heard of cows were grazing- this was definitely better than we could have ever asked for. Bryan said we could walk right in and as the cows headed toward us, incredible pictures ensued. Thank you to Kathryn and Bryan for sharing this precious time of their lives with us! We can’t wait to meet little Piper!

Tripp & Sydney

admin — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 03:50:34 +0000

As we pulled off the main highway and onto the small road that led to the venue of Tripp & Sydney’s wedding, we were instantly in love. Blandfield Plantation was the ideal setting for anyone’s wedding dreams. Acres and acres of land that stretched along the Rappahannock River; including a sprawling mansion and hunting lodge. We were soon greeted by the bride and groom’s family who made us feel as if we were a part of theirs. The bride was already stunning and we had yet to see the incredible wedding dresses she would wear later that day. As the day unfolded it was evident that the best part of this wedding was the love the couple had for one another; and that for us was the most beautiful of wedding dreams we could have imagined.

Adam & Jessie

Having met Jessie at a bridal fair the year before, we knew then and there, we adored her. Jessie and Adam’s engagement session followed soon after, and it all came together. Her eyes, his smile. These two were radiant, and we could hardly stand the wait until their big day. We arrived at Jessie’s home that September afternoon as she and her bridesmaids were getting ready. “We’re up here!” she called down to us. As we made our way up the stairs, we could hear the anticipation in Jessie’s voice. We could see it on her face. She’d been waiting long enough, and the day was finally here. She slipped on her dress, and it took our breath away. She was stunning, and she was ready. Down-the-aisle moments are a favorite of ours, and these two were beaming at the sight of one another. We were so proud to have been a part of their special day. It is always a privilege to capture this kind of love, and we are ever so grateful to have been a part of theirs.

Chris & Kristina

When we had the opportunity to photograph Chris and Kristina’s wedding we were delighted! Mostly because we love Kristina and she has been like family to us. And secondly, the church Chris and Kristina had chosen for their ceremony was the same church we were married in. Seeing the church, brought back a lot of wonderful memories for us. While at the same time, inspiring a whole world of new ones as we we able to share this precious day with one of our dearest friends and her new husband. We can’t say enough about the beauty of this wedding and the incredible people in it!

Kenny & Brittney

Kenny and Brittney’s engagement session took place at the beautiful and historic, Tuckahoe Plantation. (Which is the childhood home of Thomas Jefferson.) Of course, we are suckers for any gorgeous scenery but this one in particular took our breath away. Great tree lines and fields as far as the eye could see were just some of the beauty that surrounded us. We also have a soft spot in our hearts for animals (particularly dogs) and when Kenny and Brittney greeted us with their puppy in arms, we were delighted. We think their save the date has to be the cutest we’ve seen in quite some time!
