Angela was an absolutely stunning bride both during her bridal session and of course also on her wedding day. Here are a few of my favorite images from her bridal session a few weeks ago. Come back soon for the sneak peek of her and Doug's wedding that happened just this past Saturday!
So I mentioned to you all weeks ago (on Facebook) that I was working on a special project and I couldn't wait to share the details with you. Well, the day has finally come! A few months ago Jennifer called me about an idea for a project and after hearing the details it didn't take me more than a second to decide I was on board. After a few long meetings with a core group of people (the project management team), we watched as various Hill City Bride vendors came together on a cold, snowy day in an old building with no electricity (read: no heat) and broken out windows. They brought their individual talents and came together to make Jennifer's vision come to life. The images you see below are the final results.
I could not be more proud of this project, more happy for Jennifer, or more excited about future projects with Hill City Bride. Please check out the fruits of our labor in Lynchburg Living's Hitched issue that came out just this past Wednesday and also in coming weeks on the Hill City Bride blog. In the meantime, here are a few pictures I took of the magazine spread.
I'm just a little bit proud... ;)

It was truly an honor to work with such a hugely talented team of wedding industry professionals. I cannot wait for our next project!
Stay tuned to Hill City Bride for more photos from the day, DIY projects and behind the scenes pictures!
Oh, that google team... they are always up to something!
This week, google launched a wedding planning website in honor of the day of love around the corner. I got word of this yesterday and did a little exploring and I gotta say - I wish I had this tool when I was planning my wedding! It is very thorough, complete with document templates and tips from leading business owners in the wedding industry.
Brides, if you are just beginning the planning process of your wedding, take a minute to browse the new google wedding website. I know the tools, tips, and templates they have will be VERY helpful for you without all the commercialism of other wedding planning sites. Sometimes other wedding planning sites add non-essentials to suggested to-do lists, adding stress to a bride on a time crunch and/or budget. That is the best part of google. They have the user's best interests in mind, not their advertisers or business partners! (Or so it seems.)
So, go check it out! Build a free wedding website and take advantage of the document templates. Share the documents with your fiance (and/or parents) and have fun planning together!
(Note: please make sure you check with your wedding photographer before you upload their images to google's image editing website. It is most likely against their copyright license to edit their photographs.)
You've seen them a little on Facebook and on the inspiring Hill City Bride blog, and now finally I am sooo excited to share with you guys this super fun and joyful day celebrating the marriage of Mark and Kate. Mark and Kate were married at Westover Hills United Methodist Church in Richmond, Virginia. Their reception followed just down the road at the Willow Oaks Country Club. Everything about their day was beautiful from the stunning bride, the charming groom, the love shared between their friends and family, the weather, the locations... all of it.
And on top of all the beauty surrounding the day... everyone had SO much fun! I will go ahead and let the pictures speak for themselves. (Big thanks to Sarah from Ampersand Photo for second shooting with us!)
More details of Mark and Kate's wedding can be viewed over on the inspiring Hill City Bride blog.
I'm super excited to share with you guys that Mark and Kate's wedding is featured over on the Hill City Bride blog today! Hop over and check out their fun wedding pictures. And when I say fun - I mean we had a TON of FUN at their wedding!! Check back later this week for more pictures of their wedding as I'll be getting a more in depth blog post up about their wedding on Thursday! Woohoo!
