Styled Shoot | The Peppermint Pretty

Peppermint Pretty-134I was absolutely thrilled when Erin Coleman, the amazing dress designer and owner of Peppermint Pretty asked me to do a shoot for some of her new designs! I adore her dresses! One of my favorite parts of my job is when I get the chance to be creative and style something totally different and fun! I could NOT have done this shoot without my friend Sara from The Lady Jane. Her styling abilities are just incredible! A huge thank you to everyone who made this day as amazing as I had hoped!Peppermint Pretty-5Peppermint Pretty-1Peppermint Pretty-10Peppermint Pretty-17Peppermint Pretty-21Peppermint Pretty-22Peppermint Pretty-24Peppermint Pretty-28Peppermint Pretty-26Peppermint Pretty-38Peppermint Pretty-42Peppermint Pretty-50Peppermint Pretty-55Peppermint Pretty-60Peppermint Pretty-66Peppermint Pretty-65Peppermint Pretty-71Peppermint Pretty-73Peppermint Pretty-82Peppermint Pretty-77Peppermint Pretty-100Peppermint Pretty-111Peppermint Pretty-116Peppermint Pretty-124Peppermint Pretty-107Peppermint Pretty-141Peppermint Pretty-149Peppermint Pretty-162Peppermint Pretty-182Peppermint Pretty-204Peppermint Pretty-237Peppermint Pretty-241Peppermint Pretty-244Peppermint Pretty-250Peppermint Pretty-265Peppermint Pretty-259Peppermint Pretty-275Peppermint Pretty-830Peppermint Pretty-850Peppermint Pretty-856Peppermint Pretty-861Peppermint Pretty-882Peppermint Pretty-884Peppermint Pretty-892Peppermint Pretty-897Peppermint Pretty-907Peppermint Pretty-915Peppermint Pretty-930Peppermint Pretty-953Peppermint Pretty-950Peppermint Pretty-326Peppermint Pretty-309Peppermint Pretty-323Peppermint Pretty-666Peppermint Pretty-346Peppermint Pretty-340Peppermint Pretty-350Peppermint Pretty-364Peppermint Pretty-384Peppermint Pretty-366Peppermint Pretty-388Peppermint Pretty-391Peppermint Pretty-397Peppermint Pretty-414Peppermint Pretty-416Peppermint Pretty-436Peppermint Pretty-478Peppermint Pretty-485Peppermint Pretty-496Peppermint Pretty-502Peppermint Pretty-569Peppermint Pretty-678Peppermint Pretty-684Peppermint Pretty-755Peppermint Pretty-773Peppermint Pretty-783Peppermint Pretty-780Peppermint Pretty-804Peppermint Pretty-806Peppermint Pretty-739Peppermint Pretty-826Peppermint Pretty-672Dresses: Peppermint Pretty

Matt + Karyn | Married

I love Karyn’s smile! She crinkles up her nose and her entire face lights up. No wonder Matt fell in love with her! I mean, really… she’s adorable. It was such a pleasure to meet Matt and Karyn last month while second shooting their wedding in Martinsville with my friend who also happens to be named Karen :) They were so sweet to work with and their wedding was incredible!

First look!

Such a fun wedding party!

We did some portraits under these golden yellow trees… it was so gorgeous!

We couldn’t keep Karyn’s veil from floating!

Ceremony time!

Back outside for portraits! The town was getting ready for the Christmas parade so we had quite an audience!

The Hokie Shuffle:)

What’s under there Matt? Toe socks of course!

A Feature, Some Sneak Peeks, and What’s Coming!

What have I been up to lately? Well, I have been a very busy lady to say the least. The most exciting thing I’ve been up to is rebranding my business. I’ve spent the last year collecting little tidbits of design that I think represent myself as a photographer. It’s been incredibly fun, but I must admit… I am so impatient about it! I am on the edge of my seat just ready to show everyone my new website and logo! Ahhhh… but until then, I have some things to distract me. Like the fact that it’s my favorite season. Today, the leaves are the perfect color, I’ve had chili in the crock-pot all day, and tonight we are carving pumpkins! Good times. Good times.

My new site will be up soon, but in the meantime here’s what I’ve been up to.

A gorgeous Richmond wedding that I second shot with my pal Lauryn

A sweet fall engagement session at Montpelier

And little Mr. Chandler’s One Month Session was featured on The Wise Baby!

Wedding Albums

I received this sweet little album just the other day for Angela and Travis and I wanted to share it with you! I love these albums and all of the options there are to choose from like end paper and cover treatments… just another way to make your wedding fit your personality as a couple!

Lindsay + Nathan | Married

I think weather is a worry to almost every bride and groom, especially if their wedding is supposed to be outside! Not for Lindsay and Nathan. Driving to the top of Skyline Drive on the afternoon of their wedding, the skies were darkening, there was thunder and lightening, and I started to worry about my bride and groom. As I drove up to the location of their wedding, there were people scampering everywhere with umbrellas. There were people outside deconstructing the arch and chairs for the ceremony that had been set up with a breath taking view of the mountains. I started to worry more. I then entered a small room where they had moved the ceremony. There were people on top of people. Lindsay and Nathan were bright eyed and excited to be getting married. They didn’t care about the weather. They were in a room with all the people they loved the most (including their dogs) and they were about to become husband and wife… and this was the most important thing to them! Their ceremony was fun and loving. People were laughing, smiling, and happy to be part of their day. I loved being able to be there to capture it all…

Angela + Travis | Married

I had the pleasure last weekend of capturing Angela and Travis getting married! They decided to have just family at their intimate ceremony at Blessed Sacrament Church in downtown Harrisonburg. Angela looked absolutely stunning and the ceremony was beautiful. It was an honor to be a part of their wedding day and I wish them infinite happiness in their journey as husband and wife!
