Autumn Color Palette Inspiration

  • Wedding Wednesday

may actually be a little bit LATE for some fall wedding inspiration, I know there are some brides out there that are STILL trying to figure out accent colors and palette details for their fall weddings. So here’s a little Wedding Wednesday color inspiration! I recently received Lowe’s awesome DIY booklet that they send out each season and it was FULL of beautiful colors!

A Rustic Mountain Wedding | Lynchburg, VA

  • Drew + Carter

There are some times when I don’t get to do an engagement session for one of my couples and while I miss that time with them… it’s also kind of fun to show them off on the blog for the first time! You’ve never met Carter and Drew until today and let me tell you… you’re going to love them in about 5 seconds!!! Their wedding day was beyond beautiful.  The ceremony took place on private property outside of Lynchburg, VA and it couldn’t have been more perfect. It’s like this little knoll and pine trees was MADE to be a wedding location!! Drew and Carter said their vows while while the sun set over some of the most beautiful mountains in all of Virginia.  It was amazing. Simply Amazing!!! Carter and Michael are great friends from his time in

A Monument Avenue Engagement Shoot

and they work A LOT. These two spent a few minutes sharing how BUSY their work schedules are and I found it amazing that we actually had an evening where the 3 of us were able to meet up! Jason and Shannon’s wedding is right around the corner and so we wanted to get their engagement shoot underway as soon as possible! They met at their apartment complex on Monument Avenue years ago and so we began their session there. It’s so Richmond-y (if thats a word) and I loved it! For those of you that don’t live in RVA, it’s important to know that Richmonders take great pride in their historic city and Monument Ave is one of the prettiest
