When I first talked with Tricia and Samson, they originally were planning on getting married in October 2021. After a wonderful little surprise pregnancy, they decided to postpone their wedding until the following year. We waited and planned and then finally the day came for these two to tie the knot! Tricia got ready in the bridal suite with her mom, cousin, some friends, and of course her very cute baby girl. Samson got ready in one of the cabins on the property with his family and his son. After getting ready, instead of having a first look, these two opted for a first touch instead. Samson and Tricia held hands on either side of a tree where they couldn’t see each other and got to read their vows to each other. It was definitely such a special and memorable moment. Next came the ceremony where Samson’s son pulled a cart that carried his little sister in it all the way down the aisle which only put smiles on everyones faces. Soon, Tricia was being walked down the aisle by her father and their were many happy tears from the beautiful bride. Samson himself couldn’t stop smiling as his future wife approached him. These two exchanged loving vows in front of their close friends and family and before we knew it, these two were already heading back up the aisle! Immediately after the ceremony, the newlyweds popped open a champagne bottle in celebration of their new marriage. Next, we got lots of family formal photos as well as portraits of the bride & groom! We got to explore the Confluence property and take portraits in some amazing landscape settings. We headed back to the reception where these two got to have their first dance, followed by the parents dances. The very best speeches were made by both dads, the maid of honor, the best man, and the groom’s brother. Lots of love was shared between everyone at this wedding and was a wonderful thing to witness. The newlyweds and their guests celebrated all night long with lots of dancing, laughs, a sparkler exit, and lastly a last dance with only the bride & groom. This was such a special wedding day and I am so happy to be able to be apart of it!

Danielle & Ashton’s wedding day began with Danielle getting ready at the General Lewis Inn with all her amazing bridesmaids. These girls had the best vibe while getting ready so it was such a breeze to capture all the amazing moments. Ashton got ready at a different location but we got some small details of him when he got to the venue. After getting ready, Danielle did a super sweet first look with her dad. We all then headed to Valley View Farm to get ready for the ceremony! As Danielle walked down the aisle, Ashton had the best reaction. He was all smiles and even a few tears. These two read their own vows which created some of the best moments of the day. The bride and groom said, “I do.” and headed back up the aisle as man and wife! After the ceremony, we got some photos with the family, photos of the wedding party, and of course, photos of the newlyweds. We got to explore all the best spots of Valley View Farm for some amazing bride & groom portraits. Next came the reception where these two got to celebrate all night long with their wonderful wedding guests. They ended the night with a sparkler exit. This was definitely a wedding to remember!

Claire and Mason’s wedding day began on a beautiful August day. These two got ready in different rooms at the Venetian Estate and after getting ready, we got some photos of them with their wedding parties. It was time for the ceremony and Claire was escorted down the aisle by her father and her sweet baby boy. Mason’s reaction to seeing Claire walking down the aisle was just perfect. He shed some tears but he was smiling the entire time. They had such a heartwarming ceremony and tied the knot! Afterwards we took some photos of the family, the full wedding party, and the newlyweds. There are lots of great places to take photos around the Venetian so photos here were a breeze! Next came the reception where first dances happened, a fun garter and bouquet toss, and even a wedding dress change from the bride! These two danced the night away celebrating all night long.

Courtney & Matthew’s Wedding day was just incredible! A perfect July day in Hico, West Virginia at the beautiful Confluence Resort and Event Center. This venue is nestled right near the gorge where you outdoor ceremony can overlook some stunning views. Courtney and Matthew got ready in different cabins at the Confluence and once they were ready, they did a super sweet first look. We got a good chunk of wedding party photos and bride and groom photos out of the way and before we knew it it, it was time for the ceremony! Courtney and Matthew had the sweetest ceremony where they exchanged loving vows. They said “I do!” and headed to celebrate at the reception! We stole them away for some stunning sunset photos and then they got to dance the night away with their family and friends.
