It was so incredibly amazing to change the scenery of beaches and get some time in the mountains. Whew! The view did not disappoint! It was also amazing to be back with this family again. We were blessed to photograph Austin + Katie's wedding two years at the Vista Creek & to have the honor of photographing Hal + Erin's wedding at Irvin States in Lexington, Virginia was icing on the cake. We are so grateful!

Congratulations to Hal & Erin. You two were a joy in so many ways! We hope you enjoy some of our favorites from your wedding day!

Here's a fun fact about bridal earrings: In some cultures, particularly in ancient Greece and Rome, brides wore earrings as symbols of wealth and social status. These earrings were often adorned with precious gemstones like pearls, emeralds, or sapphires, not only to signify the bride's beauty but also her family's prosperity and prominence in society. .​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.
