Elopements and intimate weddings have been extremely popular this year, for obvious reasons. This Red Fox Inn Virginia Elopement back in May was one of the more intimate elopements I’ve photographed. Stephen and Jennifer were married alongside their parents and siblings at the gorgeous Red Fox Inn in Middleburg. They wanted to play things safe and elope this year and plan to have a large wedding celebration in about a year.
The day was gorgeous and the mood was so calm and exciting. With only 6 guests, Stephen and Jennifer said “I Do.” We photographed family and bride/groom portraits after their ceremony before they headed into the Red Fox Inn for a quiet candle lit dinner amongst their family.
Thank you Stephen and Jennifer for choosing me to capture your gorgeous elopement.

Starting the day photographing Meridith and Andrew’s engagement session in Winchester couldn’t have been more perfect. As the sun rose, a soft layer of fog rolled in, creating the dreamiest atmosphere and the most beautifully moody images.
