Chelsey and Jared || Say I Do in Almost Heaven

Chelsey and Jared || Say I Do in Almost Heaven

Some weddings are just good for your soul. This was one of those weddings; it was a beautiful day, with a wonderful couple, and stunning mountain backdrops. Nothing was going to shake my happy go lucky feeling as I drove down I-79 windows down, tuned into 97.9 on the radio, jamming out to my favorite country songs.

Cue the main reason for my happy dance, Chelsey and Jared, who gave me a call as soon as they had their date set even a couple years back, in fact, she was the very first inquiry the day of my new website launch two years ago. So this has been a long awaited affair, and I was just tickled to death to pull up on a gorgeous sunny day and get started capturing some beautiful memories for these two.

Carrie + Jeremy || Say I Do || The Guesthouse in Lost River WV

This past weekend was beyond beautiful. Carrie and Jeremy’s celebration was filled with genuine hugs, joyful tears, and thoughtful gifts. I caught myself shedding tears right along with everyone else.

Ben and Becca Storrick || Say I Do || The Inn at Vint Hill in Warrenton, VA

Ben and Becca chose The Inn at Vint Hill in Warrenton, VA as their venue to say “I Do”, and it couldn’t have been more breathtaking. With the help of family and friends to create sentimental details like handmade wooden signs made by the grooms father and the Chuppah where Ben and Becca became man and wife along with the beautiful backdrops that The Inn at Vint Hill had to offer it’s no wonder their day came together perfectly. It was truly a team effort and family affair.

I love Erika and Zach’s love story. Two compassionate, WV loving, determined, career-driven, humble, and adventurous souls just waiting to meet and fall in love.

Gina + Elliot || Say I Do || Home Among the Hills

Gina + Elliot || Say I Do || Home Among the Hills

There’s something to be said about simplicity and sentimentality of joining together as husband and wife in your Grandparent’s home where you grew up, which is exactly what Gina and Elliot did.  They said their I Do’s with their closest friends and family members in a space that encapsulates warm memories and tremendous love. It’s just too sweet to not get a little caught up in.

Katie and Chris || A Total Win || Charleston, WV

Katie grew up surrounded by sports, her dad has been a coach for as long as I can remember, and of course she married a coach, so it was only fitting that their wedding be sports themed. I know Katie and I had conversations prior to the day where she was worried about pulling this off in an elegant and tasteful way, but I have to tell you first hand that their hard work and effort paid off and their day was beautiful.

Karly + JC || Hometown Love

Even though Karly and JC had been friends for a lifetime it wasn’t until after college that a spark grew between them. It didn’t take long for this courtship to become a great love story.

This is one of those special weddings that as I edited each photo I just couldn’t stop smiling. This beautiful couple happens to be dear friends of mine from childhood and I am so grateful and honored they chose me to capture their beautiful wedding day.
