Williamsburg Winery Engagement Session | Williamsburg Wedding Photographer | Chris + Sarah

Williamsburg Winery Engagement Session | Williamsburg Wedding Photographer | Chris + Sarah

When a couple's proposal story includes the jumbotron at a Virginia Tech football game (go Hokies!), you know they are two very special people - and so special to each other! Chris and Sarah got engaged a few months ago in a big way, and even though she knew the proposal was coming it's safe to say that how he asked was a complete surprise.

We met on one of the last warm days of the fall at a gorgeous little park in Williamsburg. He wore his Navy uniform and she hung on his arm. He looked at her tenderly and she giggled with each sweet kiss. We finished the session at the gorgeous Williamsburg Winery with the sun setting in perfect glowy light. My favorite pictures are near the end, as Chris held his bride against a beautifully overcast sky. These two amazing people truly are perfect together...

How to Plan a Fall Wedding in Hampton Roads | Heart's Content Events Feature | Business

There’s an amazing feeling in the air…the weather has cooled down, the sweaters have come out, the leaves are beginning to change to gorgeous bold colors, suddenly almost EVERYTHING in stores, and especially coffee shops, have something labeled as “Pumpkin” or “Pumpkin Spice,” and the overall feeling of coziness and relief from the oh so hot and humid Virginia summers. You guessed it! It’s Fall, y’all! And it’s the perfect time for weddings, engagement sessions, and proposals! There’s a reason “Virginia is for Lovers” is the tourism and travel slogan for our great state--it’s nothing short of true! Virginia weather, history, venues, and even the nature around us lends itself to gorgeous weddings all year long, and especially in the Fall! It’s one of my favorite seasons (only second best to Spring), and I’m so excited to chat about my favorite Fall Wedding ideas and details!

There are some really stunning venues in Hampton Roads that really lend themselves well to Fall scenery! It’s always my goal on the designing side of my business to to use the venue and natural scenery provided as inspiration for any details and embellishments used in a wedding. These three venues are only a few of my favorites that are the perfect canvas for any Fall wedding...
