Cio’ che e’ destinato a te, trovera’ il modo di raggiungerti…” “What is destined to you, will find it’s way to you…”

Ilaria & Andrea met in 1991. They were part of the same group of friends. They were friends for 25 years without ever dating. Then they lost track of each other. One night, on Aug 2nd 2016,  they were at a friend’s dinner and something just clicked! January 2017, she come home from work one night and he just hugged her and without even thinking he asked “ Te, mi vuoi sposare?”

I met Sara almost three years ago, it was a year before she got married.. She was looking for a wedding photographer.
We had emailed back and forth and we set up a final meeting since they had chosen a date and at that point I only had one date booked for 2016. And there you go, they had picked the only date I had booked!

Katelyn & Ryan met at a friends house (kind of) “he kept staring at me and I just KNEW he was going to talk to me but he didn’t, so I went home and downloaded Tinder and THERE he was, so I just KNEW we would match but after I Swiped right….we didn’t. Then, the next morning when i woke up I saw we matched and KNEW he was going to message me….but he didn’t. I got mad and messaged him saying, “I know you want to talk to me” lol. Then it was history after that!! “

Kelly & Zach are such a wonderful couple. They met all the way back in high school. To make the story even better they met in a chemistry class! They shared mutual friends and eventually started dating at the end of their senior year.

The last night before Kelly moved back to North Carolina for grad school, Zach took her to their favorite spot in Blacksburg to watch the sunset. Zach was staying in Blacksburg to finish his graduate program so they knew that they would be living apart for at least six months. They sat and watched the sunset but when it was time to leave, Zach got on one knee and proposed. How romantic is that?

Julie & Tyler met through mutual friends and being active in their small community of RockyMount.

Last year, for Christmas, Tyler gave Julie tickets to go see Miranda Lambert in Charleston, S.C. While there, one morning they went to Middleton Place Plantation for a fun morning and he asked a couple to take their picture. Julie was getting frustrated cause she didn’t want to walk all the way across the garden for a picture, but little did she know, halfway there was Tyler and he was down on one knee!

Where do I even begin with how awesome this wedding was?

Katie & Scott’s story is so sweet. They first met through a mutual friend and Katie’s matron of honor, Brooke. Scott and Brooke were coworkers and she had been telling Scott about Katie for a while. The night of Brooke’s bachelorette party, the girls were out dancing when Scott showed up with a friend and the two were introduced. Katie had no idea that Scott even existed until then. It didn’t take too long before these two became inseparable.

Megan & Logan are such a fun couple! As you can see from the images, the engagement session was a blast! After only one month that they were dating, they attended their first wedding where Megan was one of the bridesmaids. Since then, they have attended about 35 weddings together!!!!

Now finally they are ready to soon celebrate and dance the whole night through their wedding in October!

I’ve seen some incredible weddings but this one was simply magical. Alexa & Jason met through mutual friends while attending Virginia Tech. They had a large, tight-knit group of friends during undergrad. They all spent time playing board games and having Harry Potter movie marathons. During Christmas break of their freshman year, the group planned a trip to Harry Potter World in Orlando, FL where these two bonded. By the time school started back up the next semester, they were dating.

I met with Allison & Matt for their engagement session at Virginia Tech. It’s such a gorgeous venue to get some incredible shots. From the beautiful architecture to the park and ponds, there are so many great backdrops. This couple was such a joy to work with. They were just so natural together. I absolutely loved that about them. We did get a little bit of rain during the shoot but nothing an umbrella can’t stop! Plus, the umbrella shots are just too cute.

Sarah & Nick are such a fun, loving couple. This entire day was so easy to shoot because these two were incredible to work with!  Hanging out with their friends and family all day was just a bonus.

Sarah is such a sweetheart. Growing up, her grandma had the greenest thumb and grew these incredibly huge gardens that sound like something from a fairytale. Thanks to her grandma, Sarah grew up always loving flowers. Looking at her bouquet alone, it showed. This bouquet was gorgeous! Sarah knew she wanted purple flowers so that also helped with the color theme for the wedding as they chose shades of purple.
