Happy friyay!! Time for a little swoon-worthy pretty little detail break. I’m a sucker for all things rose gold, so naturally these rings drew me in. Take a look at iris’ gorgeous ring so much detail. And to make it even more beautiful, it’s from @brilliantearth . If you’re not familiar, check them out! And to top it all, the inside of zach’s ring is lined in rose gold. So perfect!!

“Your sweet and smiling eyes. Take me to paradise. It makes me want to cry tears of joy. Whenever I see your sweet and smiling eyes.”

This is a new group shot for me, but yesterday’s we fully embraced the new normal situation. And when I asked them all to smile, I could see it in their eyes. Which in itself is pretty great! .

Yesterday was a dream! Iris and Zach has been planning their big day for months and months, and even though the day didn’t go as originally planned, they tied the knot surrounded by a handful of loved ones both in person and virtually. 5-23-20 will forever be the day they said “I do” in such a romantic and sweet way. We’re tucked away right in the heart of the Shenandoah valley, and spent the evening in our own little world. It was for real a perfect day filled with so much love and a gorgeous blue ridge backdrop. I felt so honored to be included in this intimate celebration. Capturing these photos was beyond inspiring and so rewarding. These two are so wonderful. And I am so excited to get to celebrate with them again and the ENTIRE guest list come July!! .

“Well, you had me from "Hello". I felt love star

“Well, you had me from "Hello". I felt love start to grow the moment I looked into your eyes, You won me, it was over from the start. You completely stole my heart, and now you won't let go.”

Looking back to the last wedding I shot before everyone was put on stay at home orders in Virginia, it was mid-March and this sweet sweet couple wanted nothing more that to be married. They completely changed their wedding plans, moved up the date to get married before any stay at home orders went into place, the limited their guest list to less than 20 and live streamed it for everyone else. They changed their venue, their photographer (which was a win for me!! I loved being apart of their day!), their florist, the didn’t get to have a cake and basically everything was different than planned... but you know what? LOVE won!!! It was a perfect day for them and they are happily married and spent their honeymoon together in quarantine. .

When life throws you lemons, for sure make that lemonade! If you are facing a reschedule or thinking of turning your big wedding into a micro wedding please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here for you and would love to talk it through. Let’s celebrate love with gorgeous mini weddings or an adventure elopements... or if your rescheduling let do a re-save the date session and have a little fun outside!! I’ll be scheduling/ rescheduling sessions come June! .

When you have flower beds filled with beauties like this, staying home isn’t so hard. .

This stunningly gorgeous couple who is super genuine and maybe as coffee obsessed as me just celebrated their one year anniversary today! I cannot believe it was already a year ago that we celebrated this perfectly amazing love story. Cheers to the two of you and your lovely marriage. You guys deserve nothing but the best in your love for forever and then a day! .

“She'll listen to you tell your story. Hold your fear and all your worries. Help you find the truth when they're all lying. Even when it's hopeless, she keeps trying. She's your mother, you love her. There won't be another place like her again that you call home. She stands here to help you. there's nothing she won't do..”

Sending a huge HAPPY Mother’s Day to my mom. I’m one very lucky girl because she is my mom and she is my friend. And that is pretty darn special!! She’s always just a phone call away. Ready to listen or problem solve if needed... or sometimes she just randomly sends me picture of alpacas with fun hair cuts to brighten my day. Can’t wait for a home goods run/coffee date And to plan our next big adventure! Sending you lots of hugs and love. Love you ❤️❤️

And a happy Mother’s Day to all you all awesome moms out there!!! Thank you for everything you do... moms really are superheroes .
