By the time Jared and Lisa‘s wedding came around, they had spent so many hours at coffee shops around town that they ended up meeting and booking a lot of their wedding vendors from those very tables. I loved that their wedding was so very “them,” with a casual atmosphere featuring coffee and s’mores on the grounds of West Manor. The details were beautiful and the ease of the day spoke to Lisa and Jared’s laid back attitudes.

After the wedding, they both got word that they passed the L-SATS and are now living the dream in NYC! Congratulations on everything, guys! I am so happy for you!

jared & lisa | west manor engagement session

I call these two my coffee shop couple. I met Jared and Lisa while they were both in law school, spending every waking non-academic hour at a local coffee shop studying for classes and then later for L-SATS. They spent so many hours at coffee shops around town that it was only natural for Jared to propose to Lisa in a coffee shop, with a full cup of coffee. And of COURSE we would shoot part of their engagement session in a coffee shop!

We stepped outside of the coffee shop for a few minutes to utilize the adorable patio for a few equally adorable pictures:

Then we hopped over to West Manor, the location of their wedding, and had a good time walking the grounds there. West Manor is such a beautiful location. They are under new ownership now and are in the process of renovating a lot of the property for the 2012 wedding season. I can’t wait to see it all completed and with a fresh, new look!

Stay tuned for their wedding post later this week! I am on a blogging roll and can’t wait to share all of the beautiful couples I had the opportunity to work with in 2011!

Ahh… who doesn’t love a rustic field session? I know I do!

I am itching (like crazy!) to get out and start shooting again! So I thought it would be fun to give this working mom thing a trial run in the next couple of weeks. I am opening my calendar for a very limited number of mini-sessions. See below for the available dates/times.

These sessions would be perfect for:

anyone that needs a last minute Valentine’s Day gift (give the gift of a session with a gift certificate OR have a session done and give the final product as a gift!)
anyone celebrating a recent milestone: birthday, anniversary, and even baby milestones!
business owners needing a fresh set of portraits/headshots to spice up their website or facebook page for the new year
anyone in the mood to model for the camera!

The available dates and times are:

~~Saturday, January 28th at 3:30pm~~ ~~Sunday, January 29th at 3:30pm~~
~~Monday, January 30th at 3:30pm~~ ~~Tuesday, January 31st at 8:30am~~
Sunday, February 5th at 8:30am Monday, February 6th at 8:30am

And the nitty gritty:

all sessions will take place in a field in Lynchburg, VA (contact me for details & directions)
sessions will be 30 minutes long, allowing plenty of time to get a good variety of pictures
sessions include 10-15 digital files (artists choice) delivered within two weeks
payment is due at time of booking
session fee is $300 ($50 off regular price!)

I have been wanting to blog about this wedding forever but I truly didn’t know where to even begin. This was one of my favorite weddings I have ever had the honor of attending and photographing. Micah and Katie are such a romantic duo and their entire wedding reflected just that. From their vows to their first dance, these two are undoubtedly dedicated to one another. Their wedding was a while ago and my words are as free-flowing today as they were on their wedding day, that’s how inspiring they were to me. I adored them and everything about their beautiful day.

Katie DIY’ed almost every bit of her wedding, with the exception of the photography and food. She is super talented and has since opened an etsy shop of her own where you will soon be able to buy lots of romantic, homemade goodies made with love.

Enough words… enjoy their day of love… full of beautiful, neverending details.

Ohhh, such a classic, DIY wedding with bits of timelessness and character.

Anna and Michael did a wonderful job putting together the details of their wedding day and making it so perfectly them. Their intimate ceremony was held at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in downtown Richmond on a Friday evening. Anna handmade so many of the details you see in the photos below. Enjoy a taste of their beautiful, late-summer wedding!
