Hannah and Dustin’s Panorama Farms wedding started out with a little bit of rain (good luck, from what we hear) and ended with the clouds parting just as Hannah started down the aisle toward her groom. Portrait time on the mountaintop with these two made us giddy. The light glowed and Hannah and Dustin glowed. One […]

We loved every minute of Kelsey + Alex’s beautiful New England wedding at First Congregational Church and the Ethan Allen Hotel in Ridgefield, Connecticut. These two reached out to us for an engagement session in Charlottesville and it turned into a sweet friendship and a road trip to Connecticut. We wandered through this perfect New England town […]

It’s a Saturday morning and not prime time for blog posting- but I couldn’t wait till Monday! We met Kate and Diego in Norfolk at the Waterside for their engagement session and it was everything that an e-session should be.  We met Kate when we photographed her sister Jackie’s wedding at Mount Ida this summer and we were […]

We have big news y’all! Crazy, insane, what-in-the-world type of news. (and no it does not involve having a child.) WE ARE OPENING A COFFEE SHOP! God put a dream in our hearts a long time ago to open our own shop in Waynesboro and about 7 weeks ago we started watching the pieces fall […]

Castle Hill Cider was the perfect backdrop for this intimate September wedding planned by Cody of Amore Events. Matt and Carly were married by their best friends in a grove of trees at sunset. It was probably one of the most romantic ceremonies we’ve ever witnessed. The Spanish theme filtered through the rich colors and the […]

It’s been pretty quiet here on the blog over the past few weeks and for a bunch of good reasons! Some are still secrets (can’t wait to share!!!), but the biggest reason is that we took the month of August OFF! It wasn’t so much an intentional choice but we realized every.single.weekend what a gift it […]

When we drove up the winding mountain road from my parents’ house in Roanoke, Virginia to Silver Hearth Lodge we were blown away by the view. We felt like we were on top of the world. We knew from the very first time we met Kostayne and Eric that these were our kind of people. Kos and […]

We love when a wedding day feels just like the couple being celebrated and Ellen and Gabe’s sweet Melrose Caverns wedding in Harrisonburg, Virginia was the sweetest example of that. The venue sat like a stone castle nestled in fields and cow pastures and we found the most delightful nooks and crannies for portraits. You […]

Imagine a mountain top ceremony surrounded by your closest friends and family on the most beautiful summer day. That was the picture-perfect setting for Jackie and Kyle’s sweet Mount Ida Farm wedding. Jackie and Kyle are kind and generous and so smart and we’d been looking forward to their wedding since their downtown Charlottesville engagement session […]

This morning has been a bit of a scramble because in typical Bethany fashion, I chose to run over the mountain to meet one of my favorite bloggers face-to-face instead of buckling down and doing work like finalizing this blog for publication. My sincerest apologies, but my day was made! I’ve officially met two of my […]
