Fall Wedding at Montfair Resort Farm

I had the pleasure of shooting this Fall Wedding on November 3rd, 2012 at Montfair Resort Farm.  Montfair is a gorgeous natural setting for Outdoor Weddings with a waterfront and field setting.  With colorful mountain backdrops at either location, it is hard not to capture beautiful photography at either site.  The ceremony for this wedding took place down on the waterfront.  The bride and her family rented out one of the Guest Houses at the resort which was adjacent to the field where I got some great portraits before and after the ceremony.  Utilizing the second site for portraits allowed us to achieve a greater diversity of shots without the distraction of guests.  The day was amazing and I look forward to working there again.  These are some of my favorite shots of the day and the really show off the beautiful color and scenery of Montfair Resort Farm.  Enjoy.





















Stephen and Heather did a fabulous job photographing our November wedding! They are a lovely, kind couple who made us feel comfortable from the start, and the photos were absolutely gorgeous. We had a limited budget, but they were able to work with us by giving us a partial day package. What's better--you get to have all your photos--no sneaky extra charges! We couldn't recommend them more highly! ~ Laura and Ethan

Portraits in Shenendoah National Park

I scouted a new location for possible photography sessions I'd heard about in Shenendoah National Park last September.  I took my "Little Helper" with me and stopped off at Big Meadows afterwards for a snack, lunch, and a promised souvenir for being my photographic subject.  Seizing another opportunity to pull out the camera, I took these pictures of some of the different backdrops you can achieve at the meadow. 











If you know where along the trail this spot is located and don't mind a short hike to get there, this "Door in the Mountain" can be an interesting backdrop for Portraits.  It looks even better in black and white.
