Nicole and Victor | Shenandoah National Park Engagement Session | Blue Ridge Mountains Adventure Photography

“On second thought, let’s not go there. It is a silly place.”

There aren’t many people who I’ve met that know Monty Python, but Nicole did and we connected on that and Robin Hood Men In Tights and so it was a very good day. I know their wedding day is going to be a freaking blast because I didn’t want their engagement session to end. It was just fun, fun, fun on top of both of them being ridiculously stunning.

This is the two-hour photo shoot that is the most popular! We take a little tour down Skyline Drive checking out different locations. You can bring as many outfits as you’d like, and we explore the different views. Normally starting at sunrise or ending at sunset. The locations are always different depending on the lighting and how busy the Park is, or what the views look like that day. You can end it by going to a local coffee shop or brewery or place to eat and make it an awesome weekend away!

April Sunrise Intimate Wedding in Shenandoah National Park | Blue Ridge Mountains Adventure Elopement

Paula and Andrew reached out to me a few months ago saying they wanted to get married on Shenandoah National Park! Their families would be traveling in from Spain and Florida, and so they found a large cabin for everyone to stay in over the weekend. They were planning from a bit of a distance, so I sent them a bunch of location ideas along Skyline Drive and helped them plan out the day a bit.

We met up very, very early - and it was incredibly cold. But I have a big basket of blankets for such times, so everyone got to bundle up a bit. After their beautiful ceremony, we went driving along the Blue Ridge and made some stops for photos. Then we went back to their cabin where coffee, cake, and champagne was waiting and they played a game of pool.

So after 7 years of a long-distance relationship between Florida and Spain, they got married in the Virginia mountains. It was a beautiful, peaceful morning with such fun, incredible, and welcoming people.

I absolutely love, love, love helping couples plan their adventurous weddings in Shenandoah National Park! It’s such an incredible experience that turns into a week or weekend getaway that includes more than just the simple wedding-day festivities.
