Shawna & Chris | Sunrise Mountain Top Vow Renewal | Shenandoah National Park

Five years. Shawn and Chris's vow renewal on the Shenandoah National Park, at sunrise, was much like an intimate wedding or elopement. It was just them and Johnny and I on top of that mountain. Chris played his guitar for Shawna on their wedding day 5 years ago, and wrote new vows this year to sing for her.

Shawna and Chris got ready in their airbnb before dawn with coffee, we had a lovely time chatting away with Laura while she did hair and makeup. We loaded up the goodies for their picnic from Sweet Bella's and their flowers from Flourish Root and were on our way, chasing the sunrise. 

We set up on top of the mountain in a beautiful little field. Chris played guitar while Shawna set up the food and little vases of flowers before they exchanged their vows written for each other. They sat down for their cranberry scones, apple pie, berries, pears, cheese, and apple cider.

Ivy & Nick | Blue Ridge Mountain Sunrise Engagement Session | Shenandoah National Park

Ivy and Nick drove all the way down from Maryland early in the morning to meet me while it was still dark for this sunrise in the Shenandoah National Park. They would have left by at least 5am (and look how absolutely beautiful Ivy is!) This session was mind-blowing, I've never seen a sunrise like this one. It was in October, and was ridiculously freezing, but they were champs, and I think I speak for all of us when I say it was worth it.

I will always be up for waking up at all hours for another shoot like this in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
