Dave + Leanne | Cobbler Mountain Cellars Engagement Session | Delaplane Photographer

The way he looks at her. The way she smiles back, passing the same unsaid emotion back.

Stop it.

Not really, it's just a silly expression for, "Please, whatever you do, keep doing that during your engagement session."

Photographing Dave & Leanne at one of their favorite local wineries, Cobbler Mountain Cellars, was alllll that & a bag of chips. From the moment we met they were swapping stories & telling jokes with me like we went way back to our childhood years. Add in the fact that Dave absolutely adores his glowing bride-to-be & a beautiful golden hour lighting streaming across the sprawling grapevines & yep, a photographer's dream ♥

Dave & Leanne, y'all were such a joy to photograph! I can't wait for your fall wedding at Cloverdale Barn!

Bekah + Steve: sneak peek

One of the greatest joys & privileges is to shoot the wedding of a very close friend. Bekah, or B as I call her, & I worked together for just under 2 years & y'all, we had some wonderful memories together!

Like the time when we were working a weekend BBQ event & a storm came through. Let's just say the tent we were under started to blow away, trying to take us with it!

Or the time we spent our lunchbreak hunting for an illusive rope swing through the woods of Northern Virginia. And yes, we did find it!

This girl - she is a spunky linedancing queen who will sporadically break out into beautiful acapella singing & has a huge heart for the Lord. Her now hubby Steve is an amazing man who truly loves her & is constantly looking for ways to shine Christ's light by serving others.

Dean & I were beyond blessed to capture their gorgeous fall barn wedding in Luray in late September. SO much more of their family-filled DIY day to come!
