EDITORIAL WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT | SALUBRIA MANOR, STEVENSBURG, VA
I've worked a lot of weddings, and I can tell you that Salubria Manor is a truly magical place. The best location for a dream-come-true wedding. European vibe at East Coast. I was so happy to work there!
I'm crazy about these old-world aesthetics: wedding invitations, rsvp cards, and even menus are in vintage style. I love that you can see the effort that went into each detail—from the calligraphy to the wax seal on the envelope.
Chantelle's bridal portraits are everything. I'm obsessed with her style—the timeless lacy Marchesa dress, the trendy earrings, and the perfect natural makeup. It all comes together in an amazing look that's both classic and modern. The best part is that Chantelle is a total sweetheart! She has such a warm personality!
Grayson is a classic guy. His look is timeless, and his wedding day was no different. The crisp lines of his tuxedo were the perfect choice for Grayson's handsome frame, and I loved how confident and comfortable he looked in it.
The way they look at each other, it's like they're the only two people in the world.
I wanted to create an image that was as much about the emotion of the moment as it was about the beauty of the bride—the feeling of being in love and the joy of being at her wedding. I wanted the images to be soft yet still have a sense of drama and excitement.
I love to create classical portraits. I think they fit so well with the vintage aesthetic of this wedding story. I always aim for a timeless, classic look that will look just as amazing in 100 years as it does today. I believe in creating a portrait that could be hung on your wall for years and years and never lose its appeal or beauty.
Grayson such a handsome man, and he looks like he just stepped out of a men's magazine ad.
The old walls and windows of Salubria Manor are just the most gorgeous backdrop for timeless bridal portraits.
The texture of the old wall, the soft colors, and the sheer beauty of the flowers—it's all a perfect combination.
I love this photo. It's everything I love about wedding photography. It's got that fine art feel, but it's still very editorial.
I love the way the veil drapes over the face and body. The light pouring through is so dreamy! There's something about the way the light catches her gown and the softness of her veil—it's like a dream come true. I'm so inspired!
