Hayley & Jason’s wedding day was both modern and elegant, and an overall dream. These two got ready in separate rooms on the second floor of the Hale Street Center. After getting ready, I took each of the wedding parties (one at a time) outside to get their portraits done, without the groom seeing the bride. Next came the ceremony where Hayley and Jason exchanged vows and rings and tied the knot! Next came family formals, wedding party photos, and lastly some newlywed portraits both inside the venue and on the streets of Charleston. We grabbed some amazing photos and headed to the reception where dinner and toasts happened on the first floor and the party continued upstairs on the third floor! This couple danced the night away surrounded by their amazing family and friends. Congrats to Hayley & Jason!

October 9, 2021 was a beautiful Saturday with overcast skies, but no rain! The Canaan Valley was so beautiful with some stunning fall foliage, setting the perfect scene for this amazing couple’s special day. Becca & Zach’s wedding day began with these two getting ready in separate cabins at the Black Bear Resort. After getting ready, we headed to the ceremony location at the Cannan Valley Resort State Park. The ceremony was so incredible, with a wonderful location and beautiful vows. After the ceremony we grabbed wedding party photos, family formals, and some bride & groom portraits and then headed back to Black Bear Resort for the reception! What a great venue! The scenery from the back deck is simply gorgeous. Heaters were set up outside making this chilly day a little warmer. At the reception, wonderful speeches were given, a garter was tossed as well as a bouquet. It was a celebration for the books. Congrats to Becca & Zach!

Lacey & Eli’s wedding day began with this couple getting ready in separate locations. Eli got ready at an airbnb he rented while Lacey got ready at the General Lewis Inn in Lewisburg, West Virginia. After both the bride and groom got ready, we headed to venue for the first look! Eli’s reaction to seeing Lacey for the first time was so sweet. After the first look, we grabbed some bride & groom portraits around the venue and I have to say, there are so many cool spots to explore at Valley View Farm. Next, we grabbed wedding party photos and then headed to the ceremony! The ceremony location viewed the mountains creating a beautiful scene for this wedding. So many kind and loving words were spoken at this ceremony and before I knew it, these two said, “I do!” Next came cocktail hour where there was a charcuterie table, cotton candy stand, and popcorn machine! Games were set out for the guests to enjoy before the reception started. The reception was so beautifully decorated and the catering was great! Some speeches were given by the best man and maid of honor after dinner and before we knew it, the night ended with a sparkler exit! I am wishing the very best to Lacey & Eli!

Michelle & Cody’s special day began with these two getting ready in separate locations. Michelle got ready at her rental with the help of her sister. After getting ready, Michelle was pleasantly surprised by her family singing to her in some bridal themed attire. Next, Michelle headed over to their venue which happened to be Cody’s family cabin! They decided to do their first look there and Cody’s reaction to seeing Michelle for the first time on their wedding day was simply perfect. We grabbed some family formals and bride & groom portraits before heading to Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Thomas, WV. A traditional Catholic ceremony was held and then this awesome couple was married! Next came the reception where we headed back to the family cabin for appetizers and dinner, which was catered by Cody’s very own restaurant! The newlyweds shared a first dance and enjoyed their evening surrounded by their family and friends. I snagged the couple for some sunset photos and then let them enjoy the rest of the night, dancing away with their wonderful guests. It was a pleasure to work with these amazing people.
