This wedding was one for the books for us. Kristin and Adam are incredible. I felt like I’ve known them forever, but the first time we met in person was at their wedding. K+A were referred to us by one of her bridesmaids, a friend of mine from college, thanks Steph! When they hired us, we were so pumped! We had never shot a wedding at Belmont Country Club in Leesburg VA, so shooting a Loudon County wedding was pretty neat for us. When we arrived, we loved the venue. The guys were in a parlor of a historic house and the girls were in a sitting room that partnered a gorgeous high ceiling bathroom. Probably the prettiest bathroom I’ve ever seen on a wedding day.

We had always heard skyline Drive was incredible and beautiful. It wasn’t one of those destinations that we were ready to undergo with two little kids Intel. But when Chelsea and Josh hired us for their 2022 wedding they made it known at their consult that they had every intention to do their engagement pictures there. Patrick and I were so excited to have the opportunity to drive down there and do a session there. And let me tell you the view did not disappoint. Chelsea and Josh did awesome at their session. We met them mid day to basically cruise a 30 mile stretch of the Shannondoah Valley to find epic views and capture what was in their mind and heart for engagement pictures. We hopped in the same car and drove and spent basically 3 1/2 almost 4 hours together.

Last weekend, my cousin Krissy got married in Richmond Virginia. What a beautiful weekend away and what a fabulous reason for a road trip! She was an absolutely stunning bride.

Krissy invited me to her bridesmaids luncheon at The Blue Goat, a Neo-southern comfort food restaurant, sourced locally when possible. (They have the BEST TOT-CHOs – spicy tater-tots I’ve ever had, hoping to try to replicate in my own kitchen hehe).
