This was an editorial shoot for Roanoke Wedding Planner Magazine that I did back in June and now that the issue has hit the stands I’m going to share a few of my favorite shots that didn’t make the issue and a few that did. It was a challenging shoot with a day full of rain but we were lucky enough to get a few hours in with just enough sunlight and overcast skies to make for almost perfect conditions.

It was absolutely delightful working with Courtney Garrett, Miss Virginia 2014 who was full of enthusiasm and patience to get this done in some challenging conditions. I’m a huge fan now. She was totally in tune with everything I asked for and brought so much of her own charm and graciousness. I think it is evident here. Gorgeous inside and out, she was just perfect.

And of course these things don’t go down without a lot of hard work and planning from everyone involved. Many thanks to Michele Robb and Jessica Hall who styled and executed the shoot, designing and planning and getting all of the vendors who participated. And then there’s the venue and vendors who lent or donated everything needed to put this together. Many, many thanks to everyone.
