Courtney and Rick | Bella Rose Venue | Lynchburg Virginia Wedding / by Rhiannon England

This past Saturday couldn’t have been more beautiful for Courtney and Rick! We got out first taste of true fall weather, the air was clear, and the sun shined the whole day.

This wedding was a special one for me because this was actually the third wedding I have shot for this wonderful family. I was the photographer for Courtney’s cousin, Lauren, and her sister, Jaime, as well! So, for me, it wasn’t just a beautiful day to shoot a wedding, but also a chance to reconnect with past clients and check in with their families. I love it when my job brings me full circle like that!

We did Courtney and Ricks engagement session last fall out in Charlottesville where they both live. Courtney is a schoolteacher and Rick is a pilot. I immediately loved the chemistry between the two of them and knew they would be super chill and fun to work with on their wedding day after they showed amazing patience and spunk when we had to shoot in between raindrops for their engagement session!

My instincts were proven correct that day as we all rolled through poses and photos with lots of smiles and laughs.

Thank you guys so much for having me there on your big day!
