Luke & Rebecca | A Glencliff Manor Engagement Session

Lucas and Rebecca met at Liberty University and their love story is simply beautiful. They have incredible chemistry and were so much fun to photograph. I had the honor of photographing their wedding this past weekend, which I absolutely cannot wait to share with you. But first! Their engagement session on the grounds of Glencliff Manor! It's not very often I encourage a late-winter session. For one, the trees are just.... drab. And two, it's super chilly!!! But these two kept things warm with their flirting and dazed-in-love eyes. The epitome of newlyweds (to be)!

I love the way these came out and I credit Rebecca for the extra details you see - her adorable felt hat, the cozy plaid blanket, and the touches of her wedding colors! The tiniest accessories can do SO much to a final shot which makes all the planning ahead SO worth it! Also, a HUGE thanks to the staff at Glencliff Manor for letting us romp around on the grounds for this session!! 

Sooooo sweet, right?! Love these guys! I can't wait to share their entire wedding with you!!

Cody & Olivia | Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

Friends, meet Cody and Olivia. They are two adorable lovebirds that met while on the track team at Liberty University. They are getting married at Glencliff Manor in just a few weeks and I am so excited about their wedding. There are a lot of reasons: they are having a first look (!!), I have a soft spot for the grounds and the people over at Glencliff Manor, and I am just seriously so, so happy for them. They are completely smitten with each other and are already on such great track for sharing a wonderful marriage together. I mean, I'm only 5 years into marriage so, really, what do I know? But… they already have weekly date nights and that is something to be admired if you ask me! :) Anyway, we had a ton of fun during their session. I laughed so much and they played along with all of my silly jokes and quirky suggestions. I love the way their pictures came out. (So much so that I ordered a duplicate sample album of their guestbook! Score!) Okay, enough rambling… meet Cody & Olivia! And get ready to see pictures of their beautiful wedding in just a few weeks!
