How gorgeous are Emily & Danny? This couple was such a joy to work with. Emily was all smiles the entire time and the way Danny kept looking at Emily, you could tell it was love between these two. It’s incredible that these two wonderful people found each other. It makes for a perfect love story.

Weddings

Margaret & Jon – The Hotel Roanoke – Roanoke, VA

Margaret & Jon’s story goes all the way back to the college years where a mutual friend first introduced them. Fast forward to the closing day of their new home, Jon began to bring up where they came from, where they are now, and how he was excited to see where they would go in the future. That was the day he proposed. And what a wonderful way to do so.

Weddings

Jennifer & Jim – Patrick Henry Ballroom – Roanoke, VA

Jennifer & Jim were introduced through their mutual friend, Gretchen. The two met for the first time at Blue 5 for some cocktails. Jennifer was new in town and hardly knew anyone but Jim on the other hand seemed to know everyone! That night, Jennifer was introduced to several of Jim’s friends and family members that also happened to be there. A few days later, the two had a proper dinner date and then another date hiking to Devil’s Marble Yard. Three years later and here they are!

Weddings

Jessica & Alec – House Mountain Inn – Lexington, VA

Jessica and Alec have been such a joy to work with and I am so happy they chose me to be their wedding photographer. Their details were elegant and rustic with the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop. While the day brought rain and caused them to move things around, they handled it all with grace and we really had a fun time improvising!

Weddings

Carmella & John – Braeloch – Roanoke, VA

We started the day off with getting ready at The Cambria Hotel. Everyone was relaxed and enjoying the morning. Carmella’s dress was beautiful and that top (that she got on Amazon!!!) just made it even more unique.

We then went to Braeloch. Which is where their ceremony and reception took place. All the decorations, centerpieces and hand lettered signs were done by Carmella herself!

Swati & Rod- Hindu|American Wedding Roanoke, VA

When I first started doing photography professionally, I began shooting mostly children, family, and senior sessions. I then started working with couples doing engagement sessions and weddings and I just fell in love with it….

Weddings

Margaux & Brad – Sundara – Boones Mill, Va

I met Margaux & Brad and immediately fell in love with them!

I had the chance to shoot their engagement session, and then their beautiful fall wedding at Sundara.

It was October and yes, the weather decided that it was going to be a rainy day. But it was a fabulous day, cause no matter the rain and the muddy shoes, everyone had a good time and the ceremony was just as emotional as it would’ve been on a sunny day!
