Matt & Brianna | Seven Oaks Lavender Farm, Virginia Maternity Photographer

Matt & Brianna | Seven Oaks Lavender Farm, Virginia Maternity Photographer

I cannot believe Matt and Brianna’s wedding day was almost two years ago! Time has flown by since then, and now they are expecting a precious little boy this year!! You might recognize these two because they have been featured on the blog several different times, especially their epic rose petal toss exiting from their ceremony! One of my all time favorites!!! <3 This is another beautiful occasion I’m honored they asked me to document for them. šŸ™‚

Matt & Brianna | Seven Oaks Lavender Farm, Virginia Maternity PhotographerAs soon as I walked up to the entrance of Seven Oaks Lavender Farm, I immediately smiled when I saw Brianna! She was GORGEOUS in her beautiful blue gown and flower crown, thanks to Amanda Veronee! The sun was out, and it was hot, but I’m so glad we had this beautiful day to document these precious memories. This session meant a lot to them, so I’m excited to debut their session on the blog today!!! šŸ™‚ Besides the great time we had together, it was fun catching up and hearing all of the exciting news happening in their lives! Building a house while taking care of a pregnancy is no joke! I cannot wait to see their family grow while settling in their new home. I guess this means they have some new photographs to hang!! Yay! šŸ™‚

Thank you, Matt and Brianna, for coming out to Seven Oaks Lavender Farm for your session! I’m in love with the outcome, thanks to you!! Enjoy looking through some of my favorites!! CONGRATS!!! XOXO!
