With a dove release, beautiful music, and sunset at the airport, Ervin & Nicole’s day was joyful and memorable. (Reposting because I wanted to add pictures and the quality got messed up last time during export) 🥰

Virginia in the Blue Ridge Mountains in spring is beautiful, and I’m pretty sure Will & Cassie’s fall wedding will be just as spectacular!

Spending time with all these engaged couples has been so fun. I first met Laurie at her sister’s lovely wedding, and am excited to be back on their family farm this fall!

I enjoyed exploring the Pennsylvania Capitol grounds with these two on a blustery day in early spring, and I have a feeling their wedding next week is going to be quite a bit warmer. Can’t wait to celebrate with them in Ohio next week!

First wedding of the year, and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer day to start off wedding season. Brian and Heidi and their families were relaxed and happy and made taking pictures a lot of fun! Claytor Lake at golden hour was a perfect way to finish up the day!

Thanks to Christmas and other things, this lovely November wedding never got posted. We loved the meaningful worship time, the elegant reception with the prettiest dessert table, and the welcoming family and friends. Best of all, Joel and Kristal are two people who love to serve, and I know they are going to bless a lot of people together!

Merry Christmas to you all! What unexpected moments have put you all in the Christmas spirit this year?

This time of year is often challenging for my husband at work, and it’s been especially hard since he became the only doctor in the small town he works in. Between extra illnesses and church responsibilities as a minister, his emotional energy is often running especially low this time of year and it affects all of us.

Today, various members of an extended family who are patients came into the office to tell him how much his care has meant to their whole family and give him a gift. It wasn’t so much the gift card they gave (although their incredible generosity was humbling), but it was the way they encouraged my husband to keep going and caring.

Sometimes the world holds a lot of darkness, and we feel immersed in it. But today, I was reminded again of the beauty of kindness and love and encouragement. I pray your Christmas holds moments of light entering and illuminating the darkness, because that is truly what Jesus came to do.

Coming out of the editing cave at last to post this lovely October wedding day! Pete and Verba are a really special couple, and Anna and I enjoyed photographing in three different states in one morning!

We started with a first look at sunrise in Virginia, drove through a tunnel in the mountains to take family pictures in the fog in Kentucky, enjoyed the beautiful ceremony and reception in Tennessee, and finished up with pictures at a state park in Virginia.

Somewhere around 200 years ago, ancestors of mine right here in Virginia were imprisoned and forcibly conscripted to participate in a war that violated their conscience. I would like to think that the people who did this to them didn’t claim to be Christians. But the reality is, there’s a good chance the people imprisoning and conscripting them were church-going people. There are plenty of documents indicating that many southern churches used the Bible to make their case for enslavement and Virginian Confederates invoked God’s support in their rebellion against the United States.

My ancestors in Europe during the Reformation who were killed for their faith weren’t murdered by heathens. They were killed by people who called themselves Christian who had aligned themselves with the political powers of the day and wouldn’t tolerate dissent.

I’ve noticed a large increase recently of evangelical Christians in positions of influence using very strong language to talk about Christians who choose to abstain from voting. I have heard that we aren’t doing our duty, that we are weak Christians, or not Christians at all. I have heard that we should be forced to vote. I have heard violent language being used by people who call themselves Christians. It’s nothing new, it’s part of the playbook Satan has used to distract Christians since Jesus’ day. Even the disciples had a hard time understanding Jesus’ refusal to use political power to establish His kingdom.

This is not to condemn anyone who voted, but to encourage my many friends who share my convictions. Being countercultural takes courage. The Bible doesn’t say anywhere that you have to choose between the lesser of two evils, or that it is your duty to vote, or that you can’t be a Christian if you don’t vote. You have a great cloud of witnesses who were willing to give up their lives to keep the church separate from worldly systems of political power. And if the harsh political rhetoric of much of the American church makes you sad, you’re in good company.
