To think where this couple and I started … their first meeting at Starbucks to their downtown engagement session downtown Culpeper to Turks and Caicos for Ashley’s brothers wedding to finally their very own wedding day … I cannot say enough how much fun this has been to get to know not just them but […]

I drove up to Briar Patch Bed and Breakfast just remembering driving past this place years ago thinking that was a gorgeous venue … well, sure enough I was photographing a wedding Saturday! I was stoked! I met up with Breanne and started running around taking prepping shots and loved the little spaces I was […]

It was not that long ago when Marcelo, Christina and I met for their engagement session and then their wedding day arrived out of nowhere! I believe this is because August has always been that month that pops up out of nowhere … if you remember being in school and did not want August to […]

Gosh, it feels like forever since I have known this lovely couple! Since high school actually … after all, they are high school sweethearts. 🙂 What was so great about their wedding day, everyone is 100% confident in their marriage. That is a hard thing these days to wonder if a marriage is going to […]

Gosh, I am SO sorry guys … when I thought I had this post all ready to go, the internet bombs out the night before. 🙁 Now that I just got home from my vacation at the beach and out to Jeremy and Hope’s wedding today (YAY!), I finally can show ya’ll Brian and Tara’s […]

I have gotten to know these two throughout our journey together and could not have had a better time! 🙂 Our last time meeting for their engagement session, I knew that this wedding was going to be one to remember!  And it was! The details … the moments … everything was perfect! Watching Scott and […]

It was just about time for the sun to peak over the foggy horizon when Craig, Erica and I met up. Getting up at 5 a.m. sounds painful … but really, by the time the session starts, you forget that you had to wake up super early. And gosh, the lighting is just amazing at […]

I arrived in Richmond on a beautiful Saturday evening in a place that did not seem familiar to what my client described. Well, this is what happens when you listen to your GPS! Lol! Fortunately, I found my fabulous clients after discovering what wronggggg turn was made. I’m realizing that Google maps are not absolutely […]

WELCOME into this world little cousin William!!!! So excited to see another male Messick in the family to continue on the name. And what a delight it was to meet him only after 7 days! Also, it was a great excuse for my mom, sister and I to meet up with my cousins! 🙂 I […]
