Jason + Linsey

  • The Inn at Willow Grove Wedding in Orange, Virginia

This day started with overcast skies. This meant that I could shoot their first look exactly where I wanted! We took a ton of portraits before the ceremony in the field, in front of the Inn, etc. It was gorgeous!! I’d take an overcast day ANY day! The amazing thing is that the sun came out in the evening JUST long enough for some “glow”! The Inn at Willow Grove has been on my “must photograph” venue list and I was thrilled to have a chance to shoot there! When Jason mentioned that he wanted portraits with the two story porches, I told him he was in good company! I wanted to shoot in front of the Inn too! It’s my favorite part of the venue!!

Hunter + Britne

  • A Rustic Barn Wedding | Brandy Hill Farm, Culpeper VIrginia

Well it’s always fun to shoot a wedding when you know some of the guests, but it’s REALLY fun when your sister is the Matron of Honor and is a part of the bridal party! We absolutely loved being a part of Hunter and Britne’s beautiful fall wedding. It was a perfect 70 degrees and the sunshine poured into the windows of the gorgeous old barn that they were married in. It was a dream wedding day from beginning to end. I loved being a part of this day not only because I knew the couple personally but because I remember hearing Britne talking and dreaming about her future husband all the way back during her time at Virginia Tech when she was living with Emy!

3 Tips for Shooting a Triple Header

  • Ask Anything

As we left the UNITED conference, people were asking me “So are you done with wedding season?” and my response was…. “Almost! After this weekend we’re officially done!”. Then, they said “Oh that’s awesome! One more to go! You can do it!”. That’s when I dropped the bomb and said “oh no, not one… THREE!”. We photographed three weddings this weekend and we made it! We booked this weekend a while ago and we thought long and hard about if this was something that we could accomplish and we determined it was.
