Pre-wedding portraits with Kat + Brian the evening before saying vows at the Inn at Tabbs Creek. The world gave us the most magical light. One of my fav days of the year.

MV + Nick // Blue Ridge Parkway Engagement Photos

It's always a joy to return to my favorite spots to make new engagement art with new people. Raven's Roost is one of my go-to "mountain spots" and it never disappoints.

Sarah + Mason // a boho Alexandria River Farm wedding

This Alexandria River Farm wedding had so many feels, the best DIY details, and all the boho vibes. These two are the best. Can I relive this entire day?

Looking back on this engagement session with Maddy + Zach, I'm still not sure how we covered all these Roanoke spots in an hour and a half. So many little hidden gems.
