Wedding at Hotel Roanoke Wedding Venue in Roanoke Virginia - Quinn & Stephen

I just got back from Italy and I feel restored and full of ideas! I haven’t blogged in who knows how long and the best day to post is the day you decide to post! It’s not written anywhere but I’ll stick with it! Haha

I met up with Quinn at a local coffee shop after she had contacted me about her wedding photography and immediately we knew that we were a match! It doesn’t always happen, to have that connection and to know that yes, this is the person I want to photograph our wedding.

Brooklyn & Bryan - Southern style wedding at Sorella Farms - Evington, Va

Brooklyn & Bryan - Southern style wedding at Sorella Farms - Evington, Va

How they met: Brooklyn & Bryan met at Radford College through a mutual friend and actually didn’t like each other when they first met. They hung out together a few times, then went separate ways for about a year, until he decided to contact her again which ignited communication between the two for a few months.

How he proposed: One night after having dinner together, Bryan asked Brooklyn to be his girlfriend at the Mill Mountain Star! I am so glad he did because the connection between them is so intense, as you can see in their engagement pictures that I took at Smith Mountain Lake - the place where they spend most of their time now and that they made their peaceful place.

Chris and Rachel met in high school. Rachel was a Junior soccer athlete, Chris was a Senior basketball athlete. Rachel & Chris's sister were good friends.One Myspace click later, they started talking constantly. A few weeks later Chris picked her up from a school function to take her home. On their way, Chris turned down the music and asked, "if I asked you to be my girlfriend, what would you say?" Charming. High school sweethearts we became.
