A beautiful wedding day in the mountains of Virginia!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel incredibly honored to have photographed part of Jack + Laura’s beautiful love story. Congrats you guys!

Let’s just have a moment for the groom. Loved time spent with Nick and his dad as they got ready for the day!

Nantahala Weddings, late spring, and two people who are so obviously made for each other that the emotion just lived in every single moment. I was just there to make sure it didn’t go undocumented.

There’s something about Nantahala Weddings in late spring that slows everything down. Alyson and Thomas fit that energy perfectly. Their love for each other runs deep and honestly, anyone nearby couldn’t help but feel it too.

During the first dance, everyone’s watching the couple.
I’m watching the room.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The parents, the best friend who’s been there through everything, the grandma in the corner who hasn’t stopped smiling. They’re all part of the day too — and some of the photos you’ll cry over hardest won’t even have you in them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s what I’m paying attention to when you think I’m just getting the dance.

The Vineyard at High Holly in the fall might be one of my favorite things I’ve ever gotten to document.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Julie and Austin’s wedding had everything — morning nerves that melted the second they saw each other, and a couple who thought of every detail so their guests could actually enjoy themselves. Just one of those days that felt good from start to finish.
