I absolutely loved capturing Jennifer & Steve’s gorgeous wedding at Bluemont Vineyard in Bluemont, Virginia! Jennifer had told us that she definitely wanted the getting ready details and I am so glad we were able to capture those! From the hilarious reactions to gifts they exchanged (more couples should do this) to the moment of relief and excitement they had when they were both ready, I felt it really helped to tell the story of the day, as well as bring out their awesome personalities. Once we left the hotel, we headed over to Bluemont Vineyard, where we first witnessed the gorgeous location and had a chance to talk with some amazing photographers! Elizabeth Leighton and Ingrid Kaslik, were a complete joy to work with. Their style really meshed well with ours and we were able to collaborate so well throughout the day (they totally rocked the photo booth setup).

The ceremony was completely amazing with an incredible view overlooking the vineyard. I especially liked their two dogs (Gizmo and Petunia) walking down the aisle instead of a flower girl or ring bearer. We always love when our couples incorporate their personalities into their weddings and Jennifer + Steve had tons of amazing details for us to capture. The reception was filled with fun little details like the wall of Polaroid’s, the photo booth (which was totally a hit), and the tower of delicious cup cakes. DJ Jake Ritchie of Dream Day DJ’s totally got the party started with some great mixes and everyone came out to the dance floor.

I hope you enjoy the highlights!

Brent and Natalie..hmm..where to start? Well about seven months ago I met Brent, an amazing voice over artist and writer, who loves all things Disney (except the Disney Channel) and a girl named Natalie. After talking with him about how they met and their story, I was so excited that they chose me to document their special day.

A few months later, I was hired to work on a three year film project for the VA Health Department. To my surprise, Brent was also working on the same project (his office is right beside mine haha) and I was really able to get to know him and Natalie more as the months progressed towards their big day.

Their beautiful wedding was held at the Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Richmond, VA and the reception was held at The Westin Richmond.

I hope you enjoy the highlights!

We had a great time filming Brittany + Brandon’s lovely wedding in Charlottesville, Virginia. The morning ceremony took place at UVA Chapel, which was followed by an afternoon of celebration at The Boar’s Head Inn. Sheila, from The Event Company was there to orchestrate this beautiful event. We had so much fun shooting with Brittany & Brandon amongst the gorgeous architecture and scenic gardens. It was also our first time working with photographer Dominique Attaway, who was great to work with.

The end of the afternoon brought a memorable moment for the UVA Grad guests as Brittany and Brandon asked everyone to “all join hands and give a yell for the dear old UVA” by singing the “Good Ole Song” before sending them off through a tunnel of bubbles and onto a decorated Boar’s Head Inn golf cart!

Chiles Peach Orchard was established in 1974. The original orchards were planted in the 1910’s and 1920’s. These peaches were planted for commercial production, and for years were packed and shipped all over the country. The original card table sales area has since been replaced with a beautiful new farm market. Open early May through Thanksgiving, the market is surrounded by peach and cherry trees, and a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This is the original Peach stand, before it was replaced by the newer market down the road. It always reminds me of the little stands in the French countryside.

So if you ever find yourself near Charlottesville, VA, definitely check this place out! You can find directions, history, and more at: http://www.chilespeachorchard.com
