Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

Starting this week off on a great note! Although, yesterday started off groggy after a double header wedding weekend. Feeling SO much better but I have to say that our bodies know when we need rest. I’m thankful I was able to take some time for myself and relax a little bit while prepping for this work week. 🙂 Friday was Billy and Courtney’s wedding in Marshall, VA and it turned out to be a beautiful day! Saturday was a bit different for me as I had the opportunity to help out my friend/old high school photography teacher photograph a wedding at the beautiful Inn at Mount Vernon Farm! So glad Michelle and I got back in contact with each other last year after I graduated high school nine years ago. 🙂 It was so much fun helping her any chance I had whether it was through photographs or just a lending hand! A wedding I will truly never forget and I hope we have the chance to work together again in the near future!

So kind of a funny, yet random note but I just wanted to say how coincidental it was to have two lovely girls with pink hair on the blog last week! Anyone else notice?! They must be on to a new trend!!! 🙂 Haha! Another coincidence is the fact they are both photographers!! Fun fact for the day. 🙂

Anyways, here is a sneak peek from this past Friday’s vintage-inspired wedding! Cannot wait to share more from Billy and Courtney’s special celebration!!! Isn’t that car the perfect touch?!
