Wedding at Rose River Farm

It is a long ride for me to the Rose River Farm but the view of the mountains and farms is amazing.

The weather seemed to be cooperating when I arrived to meet Julie who was still having her make up done.

I was prepared to take some photos in case of rain ...as my weather app had forecasted it: 

I had: umbrella and rain cover for the camera..... 

But then when the bride is about to do the processional, the weather did not hold up and drizzle started..............

Alex got his own umbrella.....









I never really noticed the rest of the guests as I was focused on taking photos  and holding my own umbrella with my other hand :) 

Alex and Julie have technically been married a few days before this day but they just wanted to share a special day with family and friends...The drizzle was on and off as they renewed vows.... 

I wondered if they would have cancelled for a hard rain.... again just a thought... 


I always wanted to shoot in the dramatic rain background.










Here are a few of our shots in between the "on and off " drizzle: 

The three of us are having fun shooting these ones:

It was one of the simplest weddings I have to cover but I did have lots of fun working with Alex and Julie....

I wish them the best!!

Lauren and Brent - Destination Wedding at Zion Springs @ Hamilton, Virginia

A month before their wedding, I have met with Chris, the bride's dad and Cara, the wedding coordinator. Jon, the venue owner, gave me a tour of his wonderful spot in the inner side of Loudon county. Zion Springs is definitely a promising venue and everybody was looking forward for the big day of Lauren and Brent's outdoor wedding.

Although weather did not cooperate with us, Jon, Cara, staff and the couple's family all managed to pull it off when the whole event was moved indoors.

When I got there, only the boys were kinda ready..

in their matching stripe orange socks :)

Then I head to the other barn where the girls are..
Lauren definitely is stunning!

We had a little break from the rain, it was still muddy but at least we got to take some photos kinda outside..

She really does not like posing.. but I love this bride " unposed " !!! and thanks to her cheerful and persuasive friends :)

And rain stayed with us but who cares?
Zion Springs indoor setup for their wedding ceremony was perfect and moody..

Now welcome the couple!!

There were special dances with special people..

Of course, they needed some laughs from their loved ones/ friends at the reception...

Congratulations Lauren and Brent! Camera-shy couple but so full of fun, sweetness and love for each other...

But wait, they are not done yet... one of the highlights of their celebration is some line dancing!
