This shoot came together over a cup of coffee at a local Starbucks with my dear friend Holly, and the result was an elegant black-tie styled shoot that complemented Lee Hall Mansion in Newport News perfectly with grey and lavender touches throughout. The styled shoot showed off this gorgeous venue, and I was able to work with some of the most talented vendors in Hampton Roads on a beautiful day in June. What started as a dream became a reality and was published on Knotsvilla for a perfect wrap-up to an amazing day.
In all honesty, there were a myriad of things that went wrong during our shoot. Traffic was absolutely insane across the HRBT that morning, so getting over to the Peninsula proved difficult for so many people. We had a few things happen beforehand that made us question whether the shoot would even happen. Our rentals were a last-minute lifesaving piece provided by ChicUnique in Suffolk, and when I left that day to drive 4 hours straight to a new destination, I still couldn't believe it had all come together - and I have everyone else (especially Just Dandy Events!) to thank...
