Emma is such a gem! I just loved her from the moment I met her!
I remember when she initially sent me an inquiry, her first words were, “I want you to shoot my wedding!” from that moment on, I just knew she would be one of my favorites!
Emma and Nate chose one of West Virginia’s hidden gems as their venue. The Confluence Resort nestled in Hico, West Virginia, is just incredible. They got married, overlooking the Mountains with the most beautiful weather.
Emma’s eyes are just captivating; I highlighted them in as many photos as possible. If you look very closely, you can see all the detail in her eyes, and I didn’t do a thing to them in post-editing!
Emma and Nate opted to do a first look. Not only was it so special,
it allowed double the time for Bride and Groom Portraits.
During the Bride and Groom photos, we were blessed with the most beautiful light falling behind them! When you find that light, you don’t leave it! These are some of my favorite portraits of the entire year; I can not wait to share them with you!
