Sam and Jamie’s 48 Fields wedding was simply a dream! As soon as I arrived, Jamie gave me a big box full of details. From ribbons, to invitation suits and jewelry, I got to play around with all kinds of pretty things. And I loved every minute of it!
Jamie had told me before that she really loved detail shots. That’s all I needed to hear! I spent more time on these detail shots that I normally would on a wedding day because I knew they were important to her. And they turned out beautifully!
While it rained most of the day, Sam and Jamie did not let this get in the way of their I DOs. As a photographer, I get really excited when it rains on a wedding day because I know that the night time portraits are going to be amazing!! Rain feels romantic in photos, and makes your images unique. So, when I asked them to step out in the rain for a few moments while we took their night time portraits, this sweet couple didn’t even hesitate!
Their story:
Jamie and Sam met in high school and dated all the way through college. They went to two different colleges (Sam at Colorado State University, Jamie at Christoper Newport University). The couple got engaged in Charlottesville, VA right after Christmas at Montfair Farm. After the wedding, they plan to go to Costa Rica for a quick honeymoon before Sam goes to Missouri with the Army.
Sam and Jamie, thank you so much for allowing me to document this special time in your lives! Your 48 Fields wedding was truly breathtaking and I’m so honored to have been there with you. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
The getting ready cottage at 48 Fields was the perfect getting ready room for Jamie. The interior is spacious with ample natural light. It was truly a dream!
Jamie’s sister, Jill, was the who contacted me about photographing the wedding. I wanted to create something special for her as well, so I took her and her boyfriend outside for a quick 2 minute session. I’m absolutely in love with the rain portrait below!
They were brave enough to go out in the rain for a few shots during their reception and I’m SO happy they did! Night time photos in the rain are my favorite!
