When Jessi & Dalton had to postpone their original wedding date, I was ecstatic that it would instead be an early fall wedding at Sinkland Farms in Christiansburg, Virginia. Fall in Virginia (I mean, fall in general, really!) is one of my absolute favorite things. And Jessi & Dalton’s wedding day was full of perfect weather, lots of laughter, and even a few happy tears (just wait til you see her dad’s first look with her!).
The day began with Jessi & her 10 bridesmaids sipping mimosas and getting all dolled up by Devin Brye Artistry. She then slipped into the most perfect, classic wedding gown that looked like it was made for her! Then, she did a first look with all of her bridesmaids that was full of laughter and some incredibly happy tears. Meanwhile, Dalton and his guys (and his groomsgirl) were having fun relaxing and hanging out before they got ready.
Jessi & Dalton said their I do’s in front of the gorgeous pond at Sinkland Farms. Dalton choked back tears as Jessi was walked down the aisle by her dad. And as soon as their promises were made, the two began their celebrating right back down the aisle!
As they headed into the reception area, Jessi & Dalton shared the sweetest first dance as husband and wife. Then, she shocked us all during her father-daughter dance and she and her dad had the best choreographed dance together! But, don’t worry…Dalton and his mom weren’t going to be outdone and they ALSO had a dance prepared!
This beautiful Sinkland Farms wedding in Christainsburg, VA was the perfect start for two incredible people. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Seat! I am so honored to have captured your day!

Arrington Vineyards Proposal Photographer | Nashville, TN Some proposals are sweet. Some are spontaneous.

There are some love stories you feel lucky to witness from the very beginning — and Gabby and Miles are exactly that kind of story for me. I had the joy of hiding among the vines to capture the moment Miles got down on one knee, and now, months later, I found myself standing on […]

October engagement photos at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens — Nashville, Tennessee There’s something about October at Cheekwood that feels almost cinematic. The light goes golden earlier, the gardens shift into their rich autumn palette, and the whole estate takes on this quiet, unhurried magic — which made it the absolute perfect backdrop for Jon and […]

There are venues that feel like backdrops, and then there are venues that feel like characters in the story.

Some places hold more than memories — they hold the beginning of everything. For Ethan and Veronica, that place was Vanderbilt University.
