Southern Maryland: Emma + Justin's Bayside Coastal Wedding at Woodlawn Farm
Emma and Justin got married at a beautiful, historic, and coastal home in Southern Maryland-- Woodlawn Estate. Itβs nestled off of the Potomac River, right where it meets the Chesapeake Bay, in the southern tip of the state. I loved traveling back to my home state to capture their beautiful fall wedding day and celebrate with them! Their waterfront ceremony was truly a special day that I'll never forget!
Gaithersburg, MD: Sarah + Brandon's Intimate Fall Backyard Wedding
Sarah and Brandonβs wedding day is one that I keep close to my heart!
Sarah is the sister to my good friend, Elizabeth, who Iβve known since middle school! Elizabeth and her now-husband, Jeff, eloped in Las Vegas the year before and flew me out to capture their day with their family. Iβve met Sarah before the elopement but was able to hang out with her and Brandon more in Vegas. When we left, she said, βIβll contact you about our wedding in May!β Of course, I was ecstatic. When we got back, we planned their May wedding and set it on the calendar. Little did we know that Covid would soon hit and change everything about 2020βs spring season.
Thankfully, Sarah and Brandon were able to reschedule for October and they had the most beautiful day!
Bristol, VA: Coby + Gretchen's Intimate Woodsy Wedding at Sugar Hollow Park
I arrived at Sugar Hollow Park in Bristol early that morning to see the ceremony site set up next to the creek at the campground and the trees were shading the chairs perfectly. After Coby and Gretchen exchanged vows, rings and the first kiss, they were finally husband and wife! After the ceremony, I took Coby and Gretchen around Sugar Hollow Park on a mission to find the infamous, βBlack Forest,β that has pine trees in symmetrical lines, for portraits. When we arrived back to the campground and pavilion everyone had barbecue for lunch from Bristol BBQ. After cutting the cake, we all jumped into the creek to cool off, where, of course, I HAD to get some portraits of Gretchen and Coby in the water!
Independence, VA: Luke + Caroline's Virginia Countryside Family Farm Engagement Session
I had such a blast at Luke and Caroline's engagement session in August! These two are just so much fun to be around and bring out the best smiles in each other. When we finally found a date that would work for all of us we decided to meet up on Luke's family farm in Independence, Virginia! Let me tell you- it was an adventurous photographer's paradise! I love it my couple's share a little bit of their life with me and such special locations! We spent the evening riding through the cow fields in the farm truck, taking in the beautiful Virginia sunset. I absolutely cannot wait for their wedding in October at the gorgeous Camp at Buffalo Mountain!
