Timeless | Virginia Wedding Photographer

Having the chance to photograph a Bride & Groom all dressed up and ready to go WITHOUT the hectic rush of a typical wedding day is a dream come true! This lovely couple didn’t have a wedding photographer and one day realized they just had to have some portraits of them together in their timeless wedding attire. I was honestly so excited to get a chance to just work with a couple and not have 8+ bridal party attendants staring at me wondering when I was going to be done!

Of course my little pea brain was spinning with ideas of doing this, funny stuff like that, creative posing like this, etc. Then I received a couple of snap shots from their wedding day and chucked all that out the door. Not that they might not have been willing, or I couldn’t have pulled it off. But quite honestly in my opinion their look deserved nothing more than perfect timeless images. Nothing distracting us from her stunning features, and his subtle vintage flair.

Why I NEED an Epiphanie Bag | Viriginia Photographer

Thank you to everyone that took the time out of their busy summer schedule to shoot an image for this contest! I know the”send a photo in” is not as common these days for blog contests, but my thinking is…if you want the bag bad enough you will take the time to enter. And Hello…we are photographers, Right? So, why not a photography related contest ;).

Here are the top 5 entries (no particular order). I was going to have a couple fellow photographers judge this contest. Then I thought it would be fun to open up to public voting! The voting will be open until 10 pm EST. I will then announce the winner just after 10 pm!!! Have fun and happy voting!

**One hour after posting this I was notified that an image was missing by one of the contenders. So the image has since been added. To be fair, I will increase the deadline until 11 pm EST. Sorry for any confusion! Only 30 votes have been cast at this point…so there is plenty of time!**

lilac | Virginia Children’s Photographer

One more Mini Session of my Bean…just getting caught up here. This is one of my favorite new locations…and I hope to spend a good bit of time doing sessions here this summer. When I styled Marta for this shoot I had just grabbed her purple dress knowing it would look great against the white and grey of the old Barn. Little did I know that there would be a huge Lilac bush about 20yds away in the softest purple. Those of you that have been on a session with me know I love to make impromptu bouquets. Most are dreamy weed and wildflower filled, but we had real, divine smelling lilacs this time…whoo hoo! And how perfect did those lilacs tie into the color story here?
