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.

I had the absolute best time hanging out with Nicole and Craig. Chatting about all the details of their upcoming wedding, their love story, and capturing these gorgeous sunrise photos were well worth the early morning wake up call.

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.

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.
