Amber and Sean’s fall wedding at Arbor Haven was delayed a year due to COVID-19, but it was definitely worth the wait. These two met several years ago and were engaged in July 2019 with attendance by a very special mouse–Mickey! Sean proposed to Amber not only at Disney, but in front of the main […]

In 2021, I had the opportunity to participate in a styled shoot at various locations throughout Lynchburg, including Firehouse 4. The shoot raised funds for the YWCA of Central Virginia which aims to empower women, children and families. They have a domestic violence prevention program, a sexual assault response program and a women’s residential housing […]

I first spoke with Tacorra less than a month before her September Arbor Haven wedding. Her photographer had fallen through and that person’s loss was absolutely my gain. Tacorra and Dwayne’s wedding was beautiful and featured my favorite color–mint. Plus, I always love an Arbor Haven wedding day. The owner, Keri, is fantastic. She really […]

When I think of Morgan and CJ’s Frontier Culture Museum wedding, I think of fun! I also then get Nelly stuck in my head, but that’ll make sense in a minute. Morgan and CJ met at work and knew each other in passing for about a year before one hike changed everything. They hit it […]

We had to wait an extra year for it thanks to COVID-19, but Rachel and John had a beautiful Independence Golf Club wedding. You may remember these two from their Richmond elopement in 2020. Rachel and John had planned their wedding for that summer, but like so many couples affected by the pandemic, they had […]

If you want a beautiful summer wedding with a hint of southern, look no further than this Etlan wedding. Shelley and Greg were married in June at the Farmhouse at Beautiful Run, a gorgeous home and surrounding acreage in the Etlan area of Madison County. Owners Bruce and Pinkie stumbled upon the farm when visiting […]

Winter is for…weddings? I think when people think of ideal months or seasons for weddings, they automatically go for spring, summer or fall, but winter weddings can be absolutely stunning. Imagine a bride in her dress in the snow with a faux fur shawl and beautiful flowers that add just a tiny pop of color. […]

Despite COVID still being a thing (seriously, go away already!), 2021 was a year filled with big moments, beautiful weddings, fantastic portrait sessions, a few styled shoots and so much fun. First, this is the year I welcomed my second daughter, Hensley Bernice. This girl came right on her due date, which happened to also […]

I first met Ruth and Zach last fall at Maymont. We spent a warm afternoon exploring the grounds and capturing their engagement photos. They were so much fun together, plus Ruth and I share a love for Coca-Cola (definitely my biggest vice I know, but I’m not a coffee girl. Instead, I prefer an ice […]

One of the first things Emily said to me about Jake was that he made her laugh like no one else could and that was evident from the day we first met in person at their engagement session to the day of their Lake Anna wedding. Like so many of my couples and couples in […]
