VA State Arborteum Family Session

I had a great time chasing little Asher around Blandy Farm on Sunday. We were lucky to get snow for their session! This family did amazing braving the cold with me. Don't they made this session look so warm? Brennen was a natural in front of the camera. So happy with what we captured! 

Amber | The Barn at York Hill Maternity Session

This session had me fall in love with maternity sessions all over. I met up with Amber at the Barn at York Hill in Shenandoah Junction, WV. Thankfully, we had just missed a large thunderstorm. We walked through the apple orchard and captured Amber during one of the most beautiful stages of her life.

Ben + Jessica | Faithbrooke Barn and Vineyard Wedding, Luray, VA

Ben and Jessica were married at Faithbrooke Barn and Vineyard. Faithbrooke is a new venue in Luray, VA. It is easy to love this place. It's tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains overlooking the Massanutten Mountains. It rained the entire week before the wedding and there was a chance of rain on their day. Thankfully there were just a few sprinkles during dinner. Jessica got ready in a gorgeous log cabin with her bridesmaids and mother. We arrived at Faithbrooke just before the ceremony. The sun shined, and there was so much love surrounding their wedding day. Carper's Florist based out of Front Royal, VA put together some beautiful floral arrangements. Ben and Jessica's wedding was one of my favorites. They are one of the nicest couples and documenting their wedding day for them was an honor.

Venue: Faithbrooke Barn and Vineyard

Florist: Carper's Florist

 

Alec + Stephanie | The Barn at York Hill Wedding, Shenandoah Junction, WV

Alec and Stephanie's wedding was at The Barn at York Hill. From the vineyard to the barn, I loved everything about this venue. Stephanie and Alec danced to "Can't take my eyes off of you", performed by The Carter Farm Band. The song, their love and the energy made this one of my favorite first dances. Everyone hit the dance floor afterwards, which left me photographing some of the best expressions.

The Huntley Wedding | Museum of the Shenandoah Valley

The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, what a stunning venue. From the colors and textures found in their lush gardens to their fountains; Glen Burnie Gardens may have been one of my favorite venues of 2015. To top it off, Kyle and Katie were a lovely couple with a wholesome love. They ended their wedding day celebrating in the Pink Pavilion, the perfect place for gathering with their family and friends. I wish the best of luck to you, Kyle and Katie! xo

Lauren | Charlestown, WV

Lauren is a fellow photographer who has become a wonderful friend. She always has a smile on her face and makes the best of any situation. Her outlook on life is always positive, which is always great to be around. We drove backroads, walked under bridges and went through tunnels for her session. We started under a bridge in Harpers Ferry. Then we drove backroads and were caught in a storm. The rain discouraged us, but we found shelter under a tunnel which ended up being a great place to continue her session. Photo sessions are always an adventure and I would not have it any other way! Check out this lovely ginger....

Luke & Sarah | Engagement Session

 Luke and Sarah booked me for their wedding, but this was the first time I had the chance to meet them. It was a beautiful and warm December day. We started at Clarke County Park and then drove up the mountain to Bear's Den. It's hard to ask for a better couple than these two. I loved capturing their love and am eager to document their Wedding day this September.

Did you know that Engagement Sessions are complimentary in two of my Wedding Collections? Contact me for details, jessica@jessicasimpsonphotography.us

Jessica | Strasburg, VA

Jessica Seibel is an incredibly talented model from the Shenandoah Valley. I picked her up before sunrise one foggy morning to go on a short adventure. We stopped at a graveyard, swinging bridge, creek, someone's yard, and more for her session. At the end of her session she braved the cold water while I poured milk around her, haha, but we captured one of my favorite photos.  I am thrilled to work with her very soon! It's going to be spectacular, I can feel it!
