Walker Creek Retreat & Barn Fall Wedding | Shelby and Trevor | Pearisburg, Virginia Wedding Photographer
9 times out 10, if I’m photographing a wedding, I’m usually walking away with the nice glow of a sunburn and a bug or two to pick out of my hair. Shelby and Trevor’s wedding was a nice change of pace from that. It was the very beginning of October, and although we’d been experiencing what is commonly known in this area as second summer, real fall blew in at full-force that day.
If you read my blog post on their engagement, you’ll know I met Shelby and Trevor at Radford University, taking Shelby’s graduation photos a few years back. I was thrilled they contacted me again to help them celebrate their wedding. This gorgeous ceremony took place at Walker Creek Retreat and Barn in Pearisburg, Virginia. This was my first time shooting here, but I’m hoping not my last! The views of the mountains in the distance were every photographer’s dream, and the big, open barn with its huge windows and natural light could not be beaten. It had the perfect, rustic charm that every fall wedding needs.
These sunflowers from Radford Florist were the perfect pop of yellow for the day.
This was such a princess dress in every sense of the word. The sparkles were so stunning in person, and Shelby looked absolutely gorgeous.
This is one of my favorite moments of the day. Always get a first look with your dad!
Dream team flower girl and ring bearer.
It was so windy out that day, but thankfully we managed to get some formal shots of everyone in between the gusts of wind.
I loved the simplicity of the single sunflowers!
This is easily one of my absolute favorite dresses on a bride in the last few years. Shelby looked so stunning in it!
These were probably some of my favorite shots of the day. If you’re on the fence about including your dog in your wedding— just do it.
“Just a small town girl…”
Shelby and Trevor, I can’t thank you enough for choosing me to capture your day! I wish you both so much happiness together.
