“There is always the sun after the rain,” Meghan said in retrospect. Her dream for their Overlook Barn wedding day including saying their vows in front of their loved ones with a view of the Blue Ridge mountains behind them. Rain nearly sabotaged that wish, when buckets began pouring from the sky, just before the […]

You burst into tears at the drop of a hat. And you’ve lost 5 pounds because you’re so stressed out and frazzled. You and your partner are getting snippy with each other and arguing about nothing important because you’re both feeling exhausted. You just want *the* day to be over with. Wedding planning is stressful! […]

They exchanged their vows under the shelter of a tent as the rain steadily streamed down around them at their White Fence Farm Wedding.

She could barely believe what was happening because Steven was working overtime to get her thinking otherwise that weekend. In fact, it was a surprise to them both that they got engaged that day. Steven wasn’t planning to pop the question during […]

These custom wood photo boxes were handcrafted with the idea of housing precious keepsakes such as photos, prints, or other  types of memorabilia. If you’re anything like me and you’ve been collecting old photos over the years chances are that you have pictures in ziplock bags, stuffed away in drawers, or loosely arranged in albums. […]

It began pouring rain as soon as I got in my van to leave the photoshoot location. Jenny + Eric’s newlywed photos were already rescheduled because it decided to spontaneously snow in April, so we really wanted to avoid doing so again if at all possible. Waking up to a steady stream of rain that morning […]

I’m sure you’ve seen the hilariously poignant satirical commercial of Nature RX, prescribing a dose of Nature for those suffering from “cynicism, meaningless, and murderous rage.” And if you haven’t seen it yet…you need to watch. (scroll to the bottom of this post to see it) The best satire always strikes at the heart of a […]
