When Mindy contacted me to take photos for her and her husband, Walter, I was so excited to see these two again! In November of 2017, I had the privilege of working with Jared Ladia Photography to capture Mindy & Walter's stunning wedding at the Taubman Art Museum in Historical Downtown Roanoke, Virginia. Their fall wedding was absolutely stunning, with the most gorgeous golden trees popping up all over downtown. You can see more from their wedding on Jared's blog! Two years

Who says you can only wear your wedding dress once? I am a firm believer that a wedding dress should be celebrated and worn again! To celebrate Kimberly & Michael's One Year Anniversary this fall, we went out on the parkway during sunset to capture some sweet moments with these two, and with Kimberly's mom, Karen! On the wedding day, things can be so hectic that precious moments are missed, and the bride and groom don't get a chance to just slow down, take everything in, and

Last weekend we met up with Allie Greene & Spencer Sauter, who traveled down from Cincinnati, Ohio to revisit the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, where they first met and fell in love! Mel & I had an amazing time getting to know this epic couple, as they gave us a tour of their favorite spots around campus. We explored the Hahn Gardens, the Duck Pond, the Drill Field, and so many other great spots, were the couple shared many special memories from their days

My how time has flown! Last year I shot a sunrise session with these two love-birds, and now they are engaged!! I can't wait for my cousin, Adaline, to marry the love her life, and move to Callaway so we will once again be neighbors; this time as ol' married folk! ;) We celebrated their engagement with all the heart eyes and heart-shaped balloons, and explored the Floyd Eco Village where Adaline & Kosal will be tying the knot this summer. Afterwards, we all hiked the mountain

Erin & Merritt are getting married!! Mel and I met with this sweet couple at Erin's family' property in Ferrum, Virginia for their engagement session this fall. We had a great time getting to know these two and their fur-babies! First we played with the pups and then danced in the leaves on the family property, where the couple will be celebrating their wedding next year! Then, we took a ride on the gator with Erin's dad to explore the property and mountain trails, where Erin

Molly & Tyler are getting married!!!! We couldn't be more excited for our sweet friends to tie the knot in 2019, and at one of the coolest, rustic venues we have seen - The Black Water Junction in Union Hall! To celebrate, we all visited the wedding venue this fall for a cozy, autumn engagement session. We were so happy that their fur-baby Piper tagged along for an appearance in the photos as well! Molly's brother Timmy helped keep an eye on Piper until it was her time to shi

When Jennifer contacted me for an engagement session on Buffalo Mountain, I was over the moon! Earlier in the year, I put together a style shoot to show the magic of the mountain at sunset, and Jennifer & Nikolaus were just the adventurers up for the hike to the top! These two drove down from Charlotte, NC and followed us along the winding backroads to the Buffalo trail. We had about a mile hike up, and the end felt forever away during the final stretch - but there is nothing

Gah! Two of the coolest people I know are getting married! Anna Kelly from NYC and Chris Banke from Nashville drove down to my neck of the woods in Callaway, Virginia for their autumn engagement session. Anna is an actress whose passion project working for Shining Light Ministries really stood out to me. Here, Anna has lead the vocal team for incarcerated women at SCI Muncy, a womens' maximum security prison. Through her work with these women, Anna has helped them to see that

For this fun family session, Mel and I met with the Beckner family on Market Street in Historic Downtown Roanoke, Virginia. We had a great time exploring the heart of Roanoke and all it's iconic highlights, including: Center in the Square, Century Park Plaza's Old Firehouse, The infamous Texas Tavern restaurant, and all of Roanoke's iconic, vintage signs like Dr. Pepper & Uneeda Biscuit! It was quickly very clear to us that this family is full of love for one another. We had

Matt Swarm & Bri Eades met up with me at Carvins Cove in Roanoke, Virginia for this stunning sunset session by the water. We were just in time to catch the last little bit of light as it faded behind the Blue Ridge Mountains, bordering the cove. This playful couple didn't hesitate when I asked if they would be willing to wade in the lake for some photos! I love it when I get to work with adventurous couples who are full of love and laughter, and have a bit of a wild side! The

Waking up at 5:00am has never been more worth it! For Adaline & Kosal's sunrise session, we set up camp in the open fields and watched the sun rise over the Blue Ridge Mountains. The weather was perfect and we had a blast exploring, and watching as the sky lit up like a firework with the rising sun. Afterwards, we included Henry, the cutest little bunny ever, for some photos with the couple! Thanks for waking up early and being adventurous with me, Adaline & Kosal! #adalineho

It was a gorgeous day on the Blue Ridge Mountains for Jessica and Drannon's engagement session at Chateau Morrisette! This gorgeous winery and restaurant rests in the mountain peaks, surrounded by breath-taking views. Jessica and Drannon are the sweestest couple, and we had a blast exploring the grounds of their 2019 wedding venue! The couple also brought along their fur-baby, Reese, for some photos! Reese did a great job, and was thrilled to come exploring with us and get so

When Billie, one of my 2018 brides, asked me to capture her best friend, Victoria's, surprise proposal, I couldn't have be more excited! Victoria's boyfriend, Hunter, along with her squad of Ferrum College besties had the whole thing planned to perfection. We started the session with Victoria under the impression that we were taking photos to celebrate her graduation, and we were! However, those weren't the only photos planned for the day! After photos with friends and family

For Ellie and Raistlin's session, we strolled downtown and explored the perimeter of the First Presbyterian Church in Roanoke, Virginia. These two love birds couldn't be more perfect together! Gorgeous, pink cherry blossoms created a romantic, petal dusted path under the canopy of ivy & fir on the church grounds. It couldn't have been a more perfect evening for a session with this lovely pair. ##elliejo #raistlin #couple #downtownroanoke #firstpresbyterianchurch #roanokevirgi

I met with Cassie & Andy for their mini engagement session at The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center on an unusually warm and sunny January evening! The lights had just been lit in the Hotel's historical magnolia, and we had fun exploring the grounds and sharing laughs along the way. Congratulations, Cassie & Andy! Here's to a bright future ahead~* #oncloudcline #andycline #cassiemann #engaged #engagement #engagementphotos #engagementsession #roanokeengagement #roanokephotogra
