On a beautiful day in July, in front of family and friends, Laura & Kevin vowed to love each other forever. It was beautiful! I could not have been more excited to be a part of their celebration and I was welcomed with open arms! Laura was beautiful, Kevin was handsome, the colors were vibrant and the weather was amazing!
I loved the colors Laura chose for her flowers! You’ll see more later. They really complimented the decor and the girls dresses.
Laura was all smiles as she prepared for her day!
Seeing Dad for the first time! Always a special moment!
As always, Hotel Roanoke was the perfect place for photos. I love shooting there, it’s always so classic!


After family photos,everyone made their way to duPont Chapel at Hollins University where the ceremony was taking place. The sky was the perfect shade of blue!


The view from the balcony! The chapel is beautiful!
Really fun wedding party! They were up for almost anything!!!
Personal favorite!
Laura & Kevin are beautiful together. 
The light was perfection. With perfect light, you can create perfect pictures. I’d call these perfect!
If this were me, it would be a big canvas over my bed. I love it that much!
This needs to be in a wedding magazine somewhere.
I love the way he looks at her.
Back at Hotel Roanoke, the guests were ready to get the party started!
First dance… I just love this photo!!! So dreamy and romantic!


One of my very favorite ring shots ever!!!
Laura & Kevin, thank you so much for trusting me to capture the emotion of your wedding day! I had a wonderful time and I know you both will be blessed in your new life together!
I am in love with these photos and with this couple! Megan & Ben had the most amazing wedding and a super fun reception! Just the right amount of vintage touches, elegance, and relaxed fun.
Shoes!!!
Megan picked up all her jewelry, her dress, and her bridesmaids dresses at JCrew. It all came together perfectly!
I love this photo!
This cracks me up! The girls asked Megan if there was anything she needed to touch up just before the ceremony – make-up, lipgloss, perfume? Her answer – deodorant! Don’t hate me for posting this Megan!
Megan’s Dad waiting to give away his only daughter.
Emotions of the moment were written all over their faces. Priceless.
The music of the ceremony was so beautiful. Timeless and classic.
I’m not sure what he was saying, but it took him a while to hand Megan over to Ben!
They had a choir sing during the ceremony. A CHOIR! All of the singers are friends of Megan & Ben and they were joined by Megan’s Dad. I have no words to explain how beautiful it was.
So excited to be married!
A kiss from Dad.
Can I just say how cool a reception at the Transportation Museum is?! Amazing places to shoot, beautiful light, and a fun wedding party! So much fun!
First Dance + perfect light = Amazing!
Marvin & Kay (on the left) celebrated their anniversary the week before. Don & Angela (on the right) were celebrating their anniversary that day! 45 Years for each couple!
Megan & Ben dedicated a song to each of them! That’s something well worth celebrating!
Because the light was so amazing, we snuck off for some photos around the trains! When you plan even a small amount of time for the purpose of bride/groom portraits, you get incredible results!
One of my favorites! Megan you are gorgeous!
Megan’s family has a long history of railroad work. Thus the choice of reception museum. Everybody now…ahhhhh! Megan’s Mom put together an incredibly detailed display of photos and details of all the workers. It was so neat to read all the names and their duties and time spent working the rails!
Say hello to the bling!
Then it was party time!!! And let me tell you, these people knew how to PARTY!
Ride that train!!!
Just one from the awesome *perfectly* choreographed dance routine that Ben and his buddies performed!
Thanks guys for allowing me to spend the day with you and your family! I felt blessed to be a part of your beautiful wedding!

I knew Megan and Ben’s wedding was going to incorporate a some vintage touches, but when Megan sent me a picture of her bridal gown, I fell in love! I knew I had to find the perfect location for her bridal session. My mind went to work and finally, I settled on the beautiful bed and breakfast The Oaks. It could not have been more perfect! I am so excited to finally be able to share these with you! Megan & Ben were married about 2 weeks ago so wedding photos will be up soon. For now, enjoy our vintage inspired bridal session.
Megan was a vocal major, holds a position as music director at her church, her mom is an organist and pianist, and her father was a music director for many years. Music is in her blood! So of course we had to incorporate vintage music into her session!
Megan’s dress and jewelry were amazing! She was a JCrew poster child and is suited her perfectly!
The photo below on the right was displayed at the reception. I love it!
Check back soon for Megan & Ben’s beautiful wedding! Happy weekend!
