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, “Black Forest,” 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!
Staunton, VA: Josh & Lyndsey's Charming In-Home & Countryside Engagement Session
I recently visited Staunton, Virginia to shoot Josh and Lyndsey's home engagement session and celebrate! Lyndsey is a dog trainer and photographer, so I thought it was fitting that we incorporate her pups Warden, Josie, and Dot in the photos! We had a great time shooting in Lyndsey's cute little house and chasing the sunset in her backyard! We hiked through a cow pasture where a ginormous tree provides shade and up the hills to a breathtaking view of the Virginia Blue Ridge.
Boonsboro, MD: Our Appalachian Trail Proposal at Annapolis Rocks
Andrew and I's proposal-aversary is on the 26th, so I thought it would be fun to share about our own adventurous proposal! Andrew proposed to me at one of my favorite places (ever) on the Appalachian Trail- Annapolis Rocks. The outcropping overlooking Boonsboro has a special place in my heart for a lot of reasons- it was the perfect place to propose. This is our story!
Erwin, TN: Michelle + John's Beauty Spot Engagement Session
The Beauty Spot is a gorgeous little area nestled in the Unaka Mountains of Erwin and has quickly become one of my favorite spots in East Tennessee! I met up with Michelle and John for their engagement session and we had the best evening in the mountains. We laughed, danced, explored around the trail and got to see one of the best sunsets that I've ever witnessed in Tennessee (and I'm really not over exaggerating).
