Before moving to Charlottesville I lived in Nashville, TN for over 10 years. In the time I lived there I saw snow maybe 5 times and never more than about 4 inches. It was a big shock to me at first. Growing up in Boston, I was used to seeing 2 to 3 feet of snow...

Tara and Jesse, Richmond Wedding – Sneak Peak

When we orginally scheduled our session we had planned to take advantage of the stunning foliage around us. Unfortunately, several heavy storms ruined that idea. The...
Wednesday Wedding Ideas and Tips
I love stationary. One year for my birthday I remember a friend giving me a box full of all sorts of stationary… notepads, thank you cards, post its, invitations, postcards, etc. If it was made out of paper, more than likely it was in that box. I love a variety of designs too. Swirls, cherry...
