Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards Wedding VideographyCharlottesville, Virginia

–

To fully enjoy this film, you must know a little about Addison and Rob first! Addison was nominated as Miss Roanoke Valley in 2015 and I wouldn’t be surprised if she went on to become Miss America! She’s as genuinely kind as she is humbly beautiful. Rob, or I should say, Dr. Dufour is an anesthesiologist at UVA and is also incredibly kind and genuine. They both have a constant smile that I honestly don’t think will ever go away! They are the perfect prince and princess duo with how giddy and in love they are!!

Pippin Hill Vineyards was the perfect setting for these two. It’s where Rob proposed to Addison on a snowy day while warming by the fire. It’s only fitting they tie the knot there too! The backdrop of the foggy mountains and rolling hills with vines and lavender couldn’t have been more romantic. There were gigantic clouds rolling through the sky, but only raining once! The peace after the storm was stunning – there was even a rainbow that rounded itself directly over the vineyards!

The entire vendor team (listed below!) worked seamlessly together, and sitting down for dinner I didn’t feel like I was at work. Everyone genuinely loved what they were doing, and for a great reason. Addison and Rob deserve the best celebration and I think their day truly reflected the sweetness of their relationship.

Liriodendron Mansion Wedding VideographyBel Air, MD

I love weddings because it gives us a chance to contribute and participate in one of the happiest days two people will share. Amanda and Bobby were just bubbling over with joy on their wedding day. It was so exciting being there with them to capture those feelings. They are two super fun, eclectic, smart, happy people with big hearts. Their story is just as fun 😃

Bobby transferred to William and Mary and was approaching his senior year. He had just a few credits away from being able to graduate but had one conflicting Freshmen Philosophy credit that had not transferred. All he needed was the approval from a professor from his last school, but he was on sabbatical in West Africa with no internet access. How serendipitous this unfortunate circumstance was 😃 Guess who just so happened to be in this class?! Amanda was a freshmen and when she heard Bobby participate in class discussions, there was a flickering interest that grew for his intellect! She befriended him quickly and their interest for one another grew into love 😃

I can’t think of a better place to celebrate their marriage than the Liriodendron Mansion. It’s overflowing left and right with character, beauty and history full of stories. Amanda specifically mentioned a scene in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice where people are milling about, dancing, laughing, and enjoying themselves. The camera pans through these interactions and voyeuristic-ally shows the event. Amanda envisioned the same for their wedding and I thought it played out perfectly at the Liriodendron!

We hope this film will forever be a reminder of the memories they made that day as a newly wed couple 😃 Congrats Amanda and Bobby!!!!

The Glasgow Farm Wedding VideographyCourtney & Robert

I always love sharing the story of how each of our couples met. Every story is unique and makes creating their wedding video so much more personable. Courtney and Robert are such an adorable pair, and the story of how they met is just as sweet.

Courtney first started working in the same department as Robert when they met. She basically had eyes for him right from the start and knew she wanted to get to know him! She was new to the area, so she asked Robert at work if she could hang out with him and his friends over the weekend! Courtney really just wanted to get to know Robert 😃

As they hung out as a group, Robert couldn’t help but fall in love with Courtney that night. When he walked her to her car, they shared their first kiss!! They both instantly knew something was special about the other and have been in love ever since!

When I met with Courtney and Robert before their wedding, I immediately fell in love with them just as fast as they did with each other!! We had the best time all getting to know one another and learning about their wedding.

Arriving on the day of their wedding I felt peace and joy just radiating from both of them. There were forecasts of rain, but it completely stopped right before the (outdoor!) ceremony! Their moods were never dampened by the stress, but instead there was SO much excitement.

Courtney had gifts and letters and kind words for everyone she was with on the wedding day, and so did Robert! She even gave letters and gifts to her (soon to be) stepson – it was such an adorable moment! They were the most thoughtful couple I think I’ve ever met. They constantly were telling their loved ones how thankful they were for them, and how much they loved those around them.

I’m incredibly blessed to have had the privileged of capturing their wedding film. Congrats to the happy couple!

Seven Springs Wedding VideographyManquin, Virginia

When I found out Nena and Tre were high school sweethearts, I knew this would be a very special day. There’s something about meeting each other when you were kids and sticking it out into adulthood that’s incredibly endearing.
 
They were the most adorable, beautiful couple themselves, and their wedding day was more dreamy than I could’ve imagined. All of the days surrounding Nena and Tre’s wedding were cloudy, rainy or cold. Not only was their wedding day 75 degrees, but it even had a light breeze (perfect for video!) AND a beautiful sunny glow. It doesn’t get any more perfect! Could’ve been the buried bourbon they dug up for good luck’s sake 🙂 
 
Driving up to Seven Springs made me feel like I was in some kind of charming 1700s picturesque scene with the tree-lined driveway and slate roofed manor house. It was a cinematographer’s dream! There were meticulously groomed box woods and bushes surrounding the estate creating distinct pathways to travel. You could even hear sheep in the distance baa-ing in their sunny little pastures! 
 
Moving along into the bridal suite, Nena and her bridesmaids were getting ready and the emotion of Nena, being ready in her wedding dress with veil and all, made for a surreal moment. There was so much happiness and tears of joy that day! 
 
The ceremony took place among trees in the shaded lawn. Nena’s aunt (who is the same age as Nena!) was the officiant, so it made for an extra sweet and personal ceremony for Nena and Tre. Can’t forget to mention the cutest ring bearer and flower girl running down the aisle holding the “Here Comes The Bride” scroll!! 
 
There was never an unplanned moment because their coordinator, Christine from Wood Grain and Lace, had everything covered to a T. The entire vendor team, including their photographer, Meredith Ryncarz, made their day even more perfect. The floral arrangements by Amanda were overflowing with eucalyptus and rununculus, I just couldn’t get enough! 
 
The party was started under the pavilion where friends mingled about and played lawn games before dinner. There was never a dull moment surrounding their day because there was so much genuine excitement for this sweet couple. 
 
I’m honored to have been a part in capturing their day and I hope this film serves a reminder of how sweet the beginnings of their little family was that day! Cheers to Nena and Tre!
