When Rylan comes home from school it’s always fun to catch up doing a photoshoot.  The venue, Ellendale Farms, is stunning and has some of the most beautiful sunsets and we were so lucky to get the perfect sunset with such a cool cloud feature. Here are a few pictures from Rylan’s fun photoshoot!

Adam + Bambi’s wedding was so much fun.  It was literally one of my favorite weddings.  It was in a big horse barn, with bluegrass music, horses and good food. Everything came together perfectly for their beautiful day! Here are a few previews from their wedding day!
