I am so excited to share Alaina and Josh’s beautiful fall wedding with you! Their special day took place at the gorgeous Glass Hill Venue in Bedford, va. This location held a special place for them as they are very close with the Owners of Glass Hill. As this was my first visit, I was blown away at how gorgeous this venue is! You just can't beat this amazing view! I highly recommend a million times over!
I don’t even know where to start!? Alaina and Josh’s special day was stunning - filled with joy, great weather (despite the COLD and windy conditions) and the sweetest people you'll ever meet! From the moment we walked into the Bridal suite Alaina, and her family made us feel so welcome. The love and appreciation we felt throughout this day was unlike no other and it was such a special experience.
I have so many favorites from Alaina and Josh’s day. From the first look with her sweet, Dad in the bridal suite to the first look with Josh on the patio. It was so incredible to capture the love and emotion during these precious moments. Alaina was such a beautiful bride, she most definitely made me tear up watching her come down the aisle to marry the love of her life.
Alaina and Josh, your day was so well hosted for your family and friends which I absolutely loved! Thank you so much for being so SWEET and amazing to us! It was such an honor to capture your beautiful day! May the lord bless you with many happy days together!

Introducing you to Mr. and Mrs. Montijo! 🎉
Words can’t describe how amazing this day was with these two at the barns of Madison County! These two were just so ready to be married in the beauty of the mountains surrounded by their closest friends and family. One of my favorite parts of this day was seeing Sam’s reaction as Elanor walked down the aisle. It was such a precious and emotional moment. Sam’s love and appreciation for his beautiful bride was so evident in these photos. My second favorite part of their day was witnessing their beautiful and pure ceremony. Sam and Elanor have vowed to love one another forever keeping their marriage Christ-centered. ❤️
Sam and Elanor, It was such a pleasure to capture your day through my lens! I wish you all the love and happiness as you begin this next chapter as husband and wife! Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Montijo!

I am so excited to share Kellie and Zach’s wedding day on the blog! ❤️ These two are the sweetest and most down to earth individuals EVER and I could not have felt more welcomed to photograph their big day.
Traveling to Dallas, Georgia to celebrate these two was so exciting for me! If you did not know, I use to live in GA and love any chance I can to visit. When Kellie reached out to me to be apart of her wedding day I was OVER THE MOON!
Due to distance, we weren’t able to make an actual engagement session happen before the wedding. I met Kellie and Zach for the first time on Friday at their rehearsal for a mini engagement session. From the moment I starting photographing these two I instantly fell in love with their love for Christ and one another. They just don’t get any cuter you guys!
Kellie and Zach were married on a beautiful sunny, June day at The Barn Moonlight Stables. I was in awe over how gorgeous this venue is because everywhere you turn their is beautiful spot for photos. The lake view overlooking the ceremony site is so dreamy!
One of my absolute favorites parts of this day was the prayer between Kellie and Zach followed by the bridal party joining in. Kellie and Zach’s love and appreciation for the lord is so evident which shines in their love for each other. It was such an honor to document this sweet and emotional moment. My second favorite part of their day was seeing Zach’s reaction as his beautiful bride came down the aisle. I may be biased but Kellie was Gorgeous bride!
Kellie and Zach, a huge thank you to you and your families for having me be a part of your special day. It was such an honor to get to know you both! I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness together.

It was such a pleasure meeting Ericka and her sweet, mom last week for her senior portraits. I loved learning all about her journey at Liberty University.
