2017 Behind the Scenes

This year has been amazing.  I say that every year but 2017 truly has been fantastic.  We had the honor of photographing in historic cities and estates across the east coast.  We got to meet some fantastic new wedding vendors who have become friends and relocated both businesses from Virginia to Alabama.  If 2018 is anything like this year . . we can’t wait!  To celebrate the close of another fantastic year here are some of our behind the scenes images.
