Doug + Amanda | Engaged

  • A Blacksburg Mountainside Engagement

Last week we were preparing for another Virginia Tech engagement and I knew that I needed to find a location with mountain views!! So naturally, I asked my Instagram friends! (They are the BEST by the way!:) They gave me incredible recommendations and man did they deliver! We started this shoot at Burruss Hall and then headed to the infamous Duck Pond!! Then, we headed to a gorgeous park with hay bails, trails, mountain views and the most perfect location for a sunset!

Eric + Courtney | Engaged

  • A Virginia Tech Campus Engagement | Blacksburg, Virginia

Last week we drove out to Blacksburg for a few days because we had not one but TWO Hokie couples who wanted to have their engagement pictures taken in Blacksburg and on campus! It was the absolute BEST week for portraits because there were plenty of leaves left on the trees and yet it wasn’t 40 degrees! We loved walking around campus with Eric and Courtney. I love it when an engagement location means something special to the couple!

Dominick + Cate

  • A Fall Pippin Hill Farm Wedding in Charlottesville, VA

I received an email several months ago that went something like this “Katelyn, Cate is engaged and I know it’s a long shot but are you available?!”. Cary was one of our brides 3 years ago and because we photographed her wedding in St. John with only her family in attendance, the Spiers family hold a special place in our hearts. During Clint and Cary’s destination wedding, we came to know the Spiers family better than most families we work with. We loved spending time with Dr. & Mrs. Spiers but we also enjoyed getting to know Cate and Sarah…. the Spiers sisters!
