Mary Margaret & Trent - Engagement Session

It had been a while since we had photographed an engagement session, but this one with Mary Margaret and Trent was a great reminder of how much we enjoy them! We strongly recommend that our couples choose to do this because because it not only lets us get to know them better, it also lets them get used to our shooting pace and style. Although this session took place only 2 days after Christmas, we lucked out and had great weather that allowed us to have a super awesome time and enjoy a lot of great laughs!

Hope you guys are enjoying the new year and also enjoy looking at some of our favorites. Can't wait for your wedding this spring!

Tweedy Family

Mary called us up on a referral from one of her coworkers and we're so glad she did! Her family owns an unbelievable farm south of Lynchburg and it was nothing short of amazing. Old barns, tall grass, and beautiful views of the area were in abundance. It was like a photographers dream location! Thankfully she asked us ahead of time what we would be driving as the road to get back in there was a bit rough and required a 4-wheel drive vehicle. So we met at Carter's Store (which, by the way, was awesome and has been around since the late 1800's), loaded up in their ride, and headed to the farm for what turned out to be a terrific session!

Mason Family - Portrait Session

The Mason family called us up on a referral from their neighbor who we did family pictures for last year. You all know how beautiful the Virginia weather is in the fall, right? Well, as it just so happened, we were happily enjoying this great weather until the day of their session came and the wind decided to pick up and the temperature dropped noticeably. I know many families who, under these circumstances, would opt to reschedule...but not this family! Instead they opened a can of awesome sauce and completely blew us away with a great time photographing them in their backyard and over at a friend's house. We left the session on such a high that we found ourselves already looking forward to the next time we get to photograph them!

There was a lot of laughing and huddling, smiling and shivering, and good old fashioned fun throughout the shoot. We hope you guys enjoy some of our favorites!









There's that laughter and fun I was talking about




And the smiles












As well as the shivering and huddling when it wasn't their turn!


They've got the serious look down pretty well...


...but don't let them fool you, they're all smiles too!
