Bridal Personality

2013-01-23_001

Every bride is an individual and unique personality.  Just like the uniqueness of their wedding day, they each come with ideas in mind about their bridal session and how they envision themselves.  Whether it is elegant, country, playful, bold, rustic, or classic they each portray themselves in a different light.  I love how different each bride is... it is a creative challenge I enjoy to bring … [Read more...]

GW & Debbie

2012-06-06_015

While it looked like it was going to rain all day, the clouds did their best and stayed away from the wedding day of GW and Debbie last month.  Nestled in the woods on a horse farm, they chose to say "I Do" up in the loft of the barn in clear view for everyone to see.  Debbie had no reservations hiking up her dress and showing off her boots underneath to climb her way up the ladder into the loft … [Read more...]

Punchy Purple & Coral Pop

2012-01-25_003

Inspired by a color palette that caught my eye, I wanted to put together a inspiration board for Wedding Wednesday this week.  I looked around for images that would fit a perfect spring or summer event that was soft but not overly vintage or romantic.  It's full of peonies and ruffles and the prettiest shades of violet blue.  You just have to see all the pretties I found... … [Read more...]

A Love Affair with Shoes

Wedding Wednesday has been a staple on the Facebook fan page for over a year now.  It's a weekly event every Wednesday and usually features a sneak peek of recent wedding photography or tips on a specific facet of wedding planning like colors, rings or flowers.  I've never brought the feature to the blog and I'm not sure why?!  … [Read more...]

James & Carrie

I believe taking a little longer can just mean something is well waited for.  This post is a little overdue about the wedding day of James and Carrie, but in my eyes it was well waited for!  What can you say about two people who absolutely adore each other?  It's something you can see every time you get around them... the way they make each other laugh and completely compliment each other.  … [Read more...]

Enjoy these images taken on the last days of summer showcasing the Visions by Heather brides of October. … [Read more...]

It was a picturesque day along the river for Niki and Jeremy to wed.  It was full of elegant fall details, both rustic and chic, and full of rich color.  The weather had been wet all week but everyone crossed their fingers and held out hope for a clear day and it happened!  On a wide open space along the James River under a wooden arbor, Niki and Jeremy said "I Do" among friends and family … [Read more...]

Brooke & Wyatt

2011-11-09_014

Brooke & Wyatt chose such a fun wedding date of 9-10-11.  September starts what I think is the perfect time of year for weddings... fall!  The days are still warm, the air is still, the skies are blue, and the evening air is cool and refreshing.  It was no different for Brooke & Wyatt's day either.  With rich purple colored gowns and accents of coral and green, the church and reception … [Read more...]
