Experience has given me this little secret when it comes to picking a micro wedding venue. The best venues are often not venues! At least, that’s not their primary role.

Evan and Mary were originally planning a medium-sized wedding at Skyland Resort in Shenandoah National Park. But due to COVID, they decided to shift plans and downsize to a family-only wedding at a local Airbnb. They ended up getting this incredibly lovely, stress-free, intimate day. Evan and Mary booked an Airbnb on the South River […]
If you’re looking for a venue with epic mountain views, Moss Vineyards is one you’ll want to consider. Moss is located about 35 minutes northwest of Charlottesville.

Rebekah and Tommy did their first look at sunrise in Shenandoah National Park, held an intimate late afternoon ceremony with family […]
January 2020 seems like a different decade. It’s honestly kind of shocking to look back and realize the events that happened over the past year are all…in the same year. Beyond what happened in the wider world, my personal experiences felt extraordinary and overwhelming. The only way to survive it was to keep my head […]
Haley and Allyson’s Charleston, WV October wedding at J.Q. Dickenson Salt-Works was my last wedding of 2018. But goodness it was the perfect way to close out the 2018 season. They got ready in separate suites at the Embassy Suites in Charleston and then headed to J.Q. Dickenson for their first look and family photos. […]
Cierra and Josh were married at the Waves of Fun public swimming pool in Hurricane, West Virginia on the Fourth of July in a boho-chic DIY celebration. Why get married at a public pool? Waves of Fun just finished major renovations and the lobby, where the ceremony was held, is filled with giant windows, beautiful […]
