This Charleston-inspired wedding in Roanoke, Virginia, will forever remain etched in my heart as a timeless celebration of love and elegance.

The fusion of Charleston charm with the natural beauty of their private estate created an environment that was nothing short of magical. A vision started by the bride and her mother and put together in an exquisite way by Caroline La Rocca.

From the moment one set foot on the picturesque private estate, it was clear that this wedding was something truly special, creating an environment that felt like a page out of a fairy tale.

I just got back from Italy and I feel restored and full of ideas! I haven’t blogged in who knows how long and the best day to post is the day you decide to post! It’s not written anywhere but I’ll stick with it! Haha

I met up with Quinn at a local coffee shop after she had contacted me about her wedding photography and immediately we knew that we were a match! It doesn’t always happen, to have that connection and to know that yes, this is the person I want to photograph our wedding.

Natalie & Michael are another couple that because of Covid, they had to rearrange their plans and reduce the size of their wedding because of Covid.

They opted out with a small intimate wedding, with just family and close friends at the beautiful Jefferson Hotel in Richmond.

Where was your first date? : It was at Mill Mountain Coffee downtown. We sat and talked for three hours about anything and everything. I think that was the moment we both knew.

What was your favorite moment of your wedding day?: Bride: I had so many favorite parts it’s so hard to choose. Overall, the love and just plain happiness we felt from everyone on the dance floor at the reception stands out to me the most. I couldn’t have pictured a more perfect day.

Groom: My favorite moment of the day was finally being announced as Mr. and Mrs. Mele when we walked into the venue and everyone we love was there cheering us on with genuine happiness their faces.
