Erica and Michael Face the Elements with a Smile

On June 19, Erica Frayser and Michael Wells said their "I do's" at a friend's farm in Manakin Sabot, Virginia. As the horse and carriage transported Erica and her father to the ceremony site, the heavens opened causing havoc to anything that wasn't tied down including the tent surrounding the portoloos and the bride's veil. However, in spite of the effects of this mini cyclone, the lovely bride, Erica, smiled and laughed embracing the gail force wind and torrential rain. The only thing missing was the wicked witch! The officiant rushed through the wedding sermon as fast as he could form the words and the ceremonial mixing of the sands was a disaster. When so many brides would have run for cover in tears, Erica thought it was hysterically funny. She is a bride to remember. What a trooper!

Heather and Drew at the Mill at Fine Creek

As a big fan of red hair, I loved the engagement shoot with Heather and Drew. The grounds and the creek at the Mill www.themillatfinecreek.com complemented Heather's lovely coloring (Drew wasn't bad either). All three of us waded in the creek, which was freezing I might add, in order to capture the creek's beauty.
