☁️✨ The dreamiest glam for this angel Bride! ✨☁️

I love doing allllll kinds of makeup but I am a sucker for exactly this… matte eye, fluffy lash, glam skin, blush and more blush, pinky/nude or brown lip, full brows - truly makes my creative heart flutter 🦋

Fun with vintage cams... Julia & Rodrigo | The Omni Homestead Resort Wedding 🎞️

Julia and Rodrigo began as friends in dental school. Through stressful days, financial pressure, and some very challenging years, they became each other’s greatest supporters. They grew together, found their way back to a healthier life together, and never stopped choosing one another.

Then came a proposal on the beach in Cancun. 💍

Surrounded by family and friends who had traveled from far and wide, they finally became husband and wife at the breathtaking The Omni Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Virginia.

Their wedding was everything they imagined: intimate, romantic, elegant, and full of personality. From the historic beauty of The Omni Homestead Resort and locally sourced DIY details, to Julia’s grandmother’s wedding china, a stunning Justin Alexander gown, and a celebration led by Rodrigo and his DJ friends—the day moved from timeless romance into an unforgettable party.

And then there was the dance. ❤️

A choreographed first dance, a private dance after the guests had gone, and finally a grand celebration that brought everyone together.

For us, the best wedding films aren't simply about beautiful images. They're about finding the story underneath the day—the people, the history, the little details, the laughter, and the reason these two people chose each other.

Julia & Rodrigo’s story was a beautiful one to tell.

It was a blessed Sunday today with my group of besties at church including my one and only in the back ❤️ because he’s my best friend too 🤗

The seasons that I have been through with these treasured souls in my life have my heart so full of thankfulness today. I prayed for each of these friendships when I moved to RVA in 2013 and God answered by bringing them into my life one season at a time 🙏🏻 I love each of them and can’t thank God enough for the treasured gifts they have been in my life.

Faith can move mountains and friends are sweet like honey to the soul. Thank you Jesus for all that you have done and continue to do in my life 🙌🏼

It was such a blessing & honor to speak and sing at @ourlaughterintherain at the Hilton Short Pump 🙏🏻💓 Special thanks to Cheryl for creating such a beautiful event!

Sharing pieces of my testimony always reminds me how good God has been in my life and to encourage others to share their story too. Someone needs to hear it! Always Spark Joy!

Grateful, thankful and blessed to be a vessel to help shine a light! Thankful for my husband & friends who came to support and to all of the new faces I was blessed to meet 🙏🏻💓

It’s always a pleasure to see colleagues from @cbs6 too @gregmcquadetv @reba_hollingsworth & @tracy.s.harvey.1 who were the emcees 🎤
