Audrey and David wanted to plan a simple yet special wedding day, filled with rustic touches and great friends, and they certainly succeeded on both accounts!

We got to celebrate such a special day with Teri-Jo and Joel for their gorgeous April elopement. When Teri-Jo sent me a photo of her Skeleton Wedding Sign, to help me get a sense of their style, I knew this was going to be a very fun and unique event! Dark colors of black and […]
I’m not even sure where to begin, describing such a special day! We simply had no idea what was in store for us before we met Barbara and Allan on the morning of their beautiful wedding day. They are the most gorgeous, sweet and easy going couple. Photographing them was a dream come true, and […]
We closed out the month of March with a breathtakingly beautiful Virginia elopement. Our bride Kimberly and her groom Woodrow were so much fun to work with. Planning with us long distance, they chose a color scheme of burgundy and blush, with a few gold accents tucked here and there, like their beautiful cake topper, […]
Our sweet bride Melissa and her handsome groom Marcus have known each other since middle school! They dated all through high school and now, 8 years later, we were so thrilled to be hosting their intimate wedding day! We planned exclusively online, which meant that our first time meeting this wonderful couple was on their […]
A joyful and cozy, intimate wedding was the perfect way for us to end our November weddings. Kristen and Will chose to downsize to a group of close family and friends for their Afternoon Tea Wedding Day. And although the group was small, the love was BIG! Heartfelt speeches, wonderful friends, loving family and a […]
It has been such a busy day here and I know this is an anxiously awaited sneak peek…so it will be a little short on words but big on LOVE!!!

I am so excited to share some favorite images in this special sneak peek of Emily and Chris’s beautiful November wedding day!

We were so lucky to work with Claire and Michael to plan their super fun, out of the ordinary elopement!

From […]
We were overjoyed to help Amanda and McKenzie plan and celebrate their beautiful November wedding day at the Golden Horseshoe Inn. Their dark purple and champagne color scheme was the perfect mix of rich fall color with a little shimmer! I had the best time ever photographing them on their wedding day. Both of our […]
The Most Magical Day A bride who was as sweet and kind on the inside as she was beautiful on the outside. A flower girl in a princess dress and matching cape. A wonderful and patient groom. A roaring fire in the hearth and a joyful celebration in the parlor. This was just the best […]
Preparing the Golden Horseshoe Inn for an elopement day in the autumn is one of my favorite things! I love the everyday tasks, like lighting the fire so the fireplace sparkles with a warm glow when the couple first crosses our threshold. Turning on the lights in the dressing suites, and giving everything a final […]
Brooke and Dustin choose my favorite weekend of the year for their wedding day – the first weekend in November! I just love the quiet calm of November, and there is always still beautiful color adorning the mountains – a last hurrah courtesy of Mother Nature, before it all blows away in the November winds. […]
