In late June, we were delighted to capture Nikki + Josh’s wedding at Swannanoa Palace in Afton, Virginia. Having visited the location before, we knew the ceremony would be gorgeous and with all the little details it most certainly was. We even found a castle tower behind the gardens! From the hilarious speeches to the awesome last dance, we truly had a blast capturing Nikki & Josh’s special day.
I hope you enjoy a sneak peak of their day!
fantastic josh! what an amazing location!
What a beautiful wedding and a beautiful film! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jenny and Jo Anne! :]
In late June, I had the opportunity to capture Kait + Tom’s gorgeous wedding at Spring Meadows Farm in Mt. Solon, Virginia. When I first met Kait in 2009 and heard the story of how she met her Australian lover Tom, I knew it would be amazing to photograph. In early 2010, Kait moved to Australia with Tom and they flew back to Virginia a few days before for the wedding. They incorporated a lot of fun little travel touches with their details, which I loved and there were a ton of great moments throughout the day. I hope you enjoy a small glimpse of their wedding!

all of the pictures are sooo pretty!! i wish i could have been there!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!
Such stunning photos! Loved them all!
As an Australian friend of Jill & family, it gave me goosebumps to see the art & heart by which Kait & Tom’s joyful day was celebrated. Each frame put a glow around those precious details – the groom’s solemnity as he does his tie, the capable re-tie, sunglasses’ stem held in mouth as Hera relieves the young groomsman’s neck pinch, the peach pink radiance of sky washing over the bride & her handmaidens in a perfect harmony of love & colour with their charming dresses, the hugs, the magic beans.
The artistry of the photos is a window to the creativity & pleasure of Kait & Tom’s marriage, & the weaving together of two families’ & countries’ in their new life. How exciting! Blesséd be!
Those cupcakes look delicious.
Your photographer seems to have captured the magic of what was obviously a beautiful and special day. I particularly liked the photo of the mother helping her boy with his tie. That’s an iconic image!
Congratulations! It looks amazing and the photos are gorgeous!
These photos are AMAZING, Kait looks beautiful and Tom looks handsome. I was so happy to be there! I love you both!
Seriously awesome photos. SUCH a beautiful day!

In early June, we traveled to the beautiful Maison Beliveau Bed & Breakfast in Blacksburg, Virginia for Amanda & Davey’s wedding. From the smallest details to the hilarious dances, it was so fun to get to know Amanda & Davey’s personalities throughout the day. While the rain forced everyone into a small shelter during the ceremony, the whole wedding party stood outside under umbrellas, making for an incredible ceremony that I will never forget.
I hope you enjoy a sneak peak of their special day!

You manage to make anything look absolutely beautiful, even a rain soaked ceremony! Love it!
Emily & Greer were such a fun and amazing couple to work with. You can tell these two are super close with all their friends and family, and especially their wedding party. They just know how to have fun together! I loved how the day was full of all these little candid and authentic moments and small details. From their gorgeous outdoor ceremony at Airlie Center to the hilarious moments in the gardens and at the reception, we had a blast capturing their special day.

Josh thank you SO much for capturing our wedding day in with such amazing style and depth!! Already, just from this teaser video, you captured the essence of what that day was for us. I am so excited to see the rest of your work- you are so incredibly talented and I will recommend you over and over to anyone looking for a videographer!!! Thank you so so much!
Whitney & Peter are an amazing couple, and we had so much fun running around Prince Michel Vineyard in the gorgeous weather! We found many awesome locations throughout the property and even a prop (the heart..which made a really awesome shot). While their wedding is not until next October of next year, I was so excited to work with them this soon. It was truly an awesome day and I cannot wait to work with them next year!
I hope you enjoy the teasers! :]
