This was the wedding of Ashlea and Jesper, a wedding full of color and fun that I loved photographing for many reasons. These two were both so excited about their day and their photography, and it was taking place at what is certainly one of my favorite venues in the New River Valley. The beautiful Rockwood Manor is located in the rolling hills of Dublin, VA and is really one of the finest pieces of historic home architecture in the area.  One of the things I love about stately rural venues are the built in settings that make for beautiful portrait locations, and there is plenty to explore at Rockwood. So the day went off beautifully, and despite the threat of rain here and there, I had a great time with these two and we got some fantastic images.

Venue: Rockwood Manor

Florals: Radford City Florists

Kemper, these are awesome shots. You always do fantastic work! And the shot with the wine glass and the cigarette smoke curling up through the back light…I’m putting that into my arsenal! I’m working on the back light shots, however. I’m working on it…:)
Good stuff!
