"Pictures. Always take pictures of people you love.
Take pictures when they walk, dance, and sing. Take pictures when they are happy and sad. When they wear a beautiful outfit, when they buy a new thing, when they feel excited about smth, and when they act weird. Pictures stay. And memories last forever."

What no one talks about with mountain elopements: if you pick a late spring or summer month, you can easily pick your own bouquet of wildflowers 💐

I hear from lots of couples that their biggest worry is rain on their wedding day. And I say…why?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First, rain on your wedding day is good luck. Just ask Dylan and I!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Second, while golden hour is glorious—there is something mysterious, intimate, and surreal about a rainy foggy day. If you don’t believe me…just take a look on my blog 🌧

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted, because frankly I have chosen to devote my time to perfecting my booking process for my couples and keeping my website blog up to date! So dropping in to tell everyone we are alive and well….and we made it through 12 weddings in April alone!

Now booking 2023 🙌🏻

We have had a busy year--and I am finally able to take the time to catch up with posting content (head over to truestoryphotography.com/blog)! However, it's been really enjoyable being able to look back on the best moments from this past fall season.

Nicole and Evan's intimate elopement in Shenandoah was nothing short of special. I felt more like a guest than the photographer, and I could see from meeting their family and friends where they get their compassionate and kind personalities from.

Was Angela and Andrew's wedding romantic, classic, and insanely gorgeous? Yes. Did I feel like I was shooting a magazine spread? Also yes. Every aspect of this day including Angela herself was just stunning.

Enjoying all the little visitors we have had at the farm this month!

Lindsay + Tyler had a perfectly boho wedding at Rounton Farm. She hand picked all the decor! A woman who speaks my language!

Happy Halloween! It's my favorite holiday of the year--so naturally when we got to the spend the day with Mercedes + Shane this past weekend I was beside myself....

10/28/2021

Warms my heart to get to see previous couples again as they begin a family! Congrats Miranda + Joe!

Something wicked this way comes! Literally *died* this past Saturday at Mercedes + Shane's wedding...and *dying* to share their video coming soon!

Spent a gorgeous day this past weekend with my cousin and his beautiful new bride. They truly must have been special for James Monroe to formally host them!

We had the pleasure of attending our first Egyptian wedding the other weekend at the lovely 1757 Golf Club along with Marquee Artists. Vivian + Amir and their entire family were so kind and welcoming--it was truly an experience we will never forget. Video coming soon, but for now the B&W's we've released for a sneak peak are really speaking to us!

A storm rolled through the mountains last night so we weren’t sure what kind of weather we may get for Leslie & Andrew today. We were quite literally the only people in the Park this morning for sunrise, and it was magical.

We had an amazing time filming Miranda Brooks Kelly's gorgeous family farm wedding. Amazing hosts, and great company. More to come!
