I honestly can’t think of a more perfect spot to celebrate your marriage than on the spot that you plan to start your lives together.  Getting married on their own plot of land where soon they will build their home together was only one of the sweet, heartfelt details that made Heather and Hunter’s wedding so special.  From the tear filled vows to the heirloom dried flowers in her bouquet, love and honor was squeezed into every bit of the day.  I’m so glad that I was able to capture these two awesome people and party well into the night with them! Here’s a little look at their wedding amidst the woods under looming trees at their (soon to be) home in Spotsylvania.

In case you haven’t noticed, I may or may not be just the smallest bit biased towards twins.  And an even bigger love for twin parents (solidarity, right?!).  So you can imagine how crazy excited I was to hear that Amanda and Tony were bringing their two new little girls down to Chincoteague and wanted some pictures.  It’s always so awesome to reunite with past couples and photograph them from weddings to new families.  And these two sweet little girls were the best. Seriously, so sweet-to the point that if I didn’t already have too many children I’d be all “Mike…more please…” But for real, I’m so happy for this new family and am so excited for the crazy love-filled life that’s coming their way.

Photographing seniors is quickly becoming one of my favorites.  It is so cool spending time with these young women, full of energy and optimism, and Jessie was no exception.  There are a ton of things that made this session awesome (um cotton candy sunset, vintage VW van?), but first let’s talk about those big brown eyes. As a fellow brown eyed lady I can’t help but have a little bias there, but seriously how gorgeous are they? Second, she spotted some pretty awesome walls and colors that really fit her personality and that I totally love.  AND she let me drag her into possibly the grossest muck, filled with all kinds of creatures, without a single complaint, which makes her the best.

I met Hope this past week to commemorate one of the bigger events in any ladies life, the end of traditional schooling and her entrance into the “real” world (I hate that term, I mean what kind of world is it if it’s not always real? But you get the point). I drug her literally through waves and bugs for her session (real world prep, right?) and she was the absolute best sport. She is not only beautiful externally, but she has a sweet, intelligent soul and it’s very clear that whatever she decides to do she will excel at it, and I wish her nothing but the best.
