I've been holding onto these images for a few weeks now, and honestly, it nearly killed me. You may remember Katherine and J.P. from their engagement session last fall. The two were married this past weekend in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Asheboro, NC, and I am thrilled to finally have the freedom to display Katherine's lovely bridal portraits.

Katherine has such a classic look, with a certain grace and elegance about her, and the backdrop of the historic Patrick Henry building in downtown Roanoke, VA proved to be the perfect setting for such beauty.

Katherine's veil was actually created from her mother's wedding veil. I love when a bride is able to incorporate a family heirloom into her wedding in a new way.

Katherine and JP met in an elevator in Arlington, Virginia, where they were neighbors. They struck up a conversation, and it wasn't long before the conversations led to dating. Their engagement followed a recent move to Roanoke, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their upcoming spring wedding in Katherine's little hometown of Asheboro, NC.

I met these two for the first time for their engagement session at The Patrick Henry, a beautiful historic building they call home. We started off with a glass of wine at the bar, both to capture one of many things they enjoy together and calm the nerves, and then headed out to the nearby areas to enjoy the lovely autumn backdrop.
