I have worked with Jessica and Jeremy this last year in capturing their son and daughter’s first year of life.  It has been such a wonderful experience to watch the babies grow up and build a relationship with Jessica and Jeremy.  I feel so thankful to have been part of such an important time in their lives and cannot thank them enough for choosing me to be their photographer.  It means the world to me that they trusted me to be the family photographer for them and I hope to continue that as well as the friendship we have created.

I met with the Cooley family this past Wednesday day for our final session of the year 🙁 and Jessica had a gift for me.  It was totally unexpected and I couldn’t be more grateful.  Not only was there a sweet hand written note, but there was also a beautiful necklace that means so much to me!  Thank you Jessica and Jeremy for your thoughtfulness, it means so much to me!

    Jessica cooley - We love YOU!ReplyCancel

I was so eager to post these, I totally forgot to write about what a fun session this was!

When I first met Grace and Adrien, I knew they were going to be a great couple to work with.  They were so sweet and really excited about the wedding planning.  Originally, they were wanting to be married in October of 2013, but things got pushed up because Adrien is in the military and is going to have to leave sooner than expected.  I am so excited to be their wedding photographer in February of THIS year, so get ready!!  From what I hear, the wedding is going to be AMAZING!…they are working with wedding planner, Keith, from Everything But Your Groom: Exceptional Event Planning.  Catering.  Design.  and I am so excited to work alongside him.

I loved hearing Grace and Adrien’s story about how they met….and it all happened in Blacksburg.  They both attend Virginia Tech, so what better place to hold their engagement shoot than on campus?!  I had SUCH a great time with this couple….there was lots of laughter and it was just plain fun!  I think seeing the images will be a better explanation of how perfect Grace and Adrien are for each other….when they are together, they cant help but smile!  Below are some of my favorite images from the day.  Part II will be coming soon!!  PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEI told you they were a fun couple!

When I worked with Jessica and Neel for the first time during their engagement session, I knew this was going to be a fun couple!  They were just SO happy together….always smiling and laughing!  It was the sweetest thing…to witness the love between them.  I can say the same for their wedding day.  It was an honor to be a part of such a joyous occasion and witnessing all the love between Jessica and Neel and among family and close friends.

When I arrived, Jessica didn’t seem even a bit nervous!  She was excited that her dream was finally becoming a reality!  I mean, what girl doesn’t dream of being married?!

The Craddock Terry hotel in Lynchburg is one of the many places that Jessica and Neel have traveled together, and this was really the place where they fell in love.  Not surprisingly, this city is the place where they chose to be married.

Below are just a few images of Jessica and Neel’s perfect day……

PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEJessica, you are a stunning bride! PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEThis little guy was so cute!

PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEJessica had a gorgeous bouquet and the little jewels inside have special significance…what a beautiful touch! PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEGosh, you guys are so beautiful together! PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEAmazing! PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGESo, the hotel that they chose for the reception was originally an old shoe factory.  It is the cutest hotel I have ever seen!  Each hotel door had a different shoe plaque and the lobby is decorated with old shoes!  It was so neat! PIN IMAGEJessica and Neel’s theme for their wedding was “traveling” and their details was awesome!!!  Each guest was greeted with a tag and a city on the back.  It was their job to find what table they were to be seated at and at each table there was a picture of the city Jessica and Neel had visited and on the back, a description of their adventure….I loved it! PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEThe guests wrote their well wishes on post cards to Jessica and Neel….. PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGELook at the cake topper!!  Suitcases! 🙂 PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEJessica and Neel, THANK YOU all so much for choosing me to be your photographer.  It was a blessing to have been a part of your special day and I hope these images bring a smile to your face each time you look at them!  I wish you all the best with everything you do in life and may it bring you all the joy and happiness in the world!  Much love!!
