YOUR STORY. YOUR LEGACY

Moments at Mount Ida

Sam Stroud August 30, 2019

Neil and Ellie tied the knot at Mount Ida Farm in Charlottesville, VA, earlier this summer. Their wedding day consisted of dainty, clean details that we loved. Ellie’s bouquet brought a crisp, beautiful touch to the event that also felt whimsical and free. We also appreciated the other small details of the day that were thought out greatly, like the bride’s vow book and the florals around the ceremony arch. See below to find some of your own favorite moments and details from this day!

Counting down... 2 days until our season kicks off. LETS GOOOOOOOOOO !!! Also how legit are these two?

1. NO this isn’t a composite image (it’s 1 image and it’s REAL). 2. YES we can do this at your wedding! 😎🤙🏼

Throwing it back! This time of no new work has been a great opportunity to appreciate some of our favorite images over the last few years!

More restrictions are lifting and many places are entering phase 2 of reopening during this pandemic. I am so so excited to get to shoot a few elopements and weddings this month!

I have no words that can adequately express my frustration with the current societal constructs that have elevated one over another oppressively and based on skin color. We, SSP, have a platform and will use it to stand shoulder to shoulder with and in support of our black brothers and sisters against racial inequality and systemic racism. #blacklivesmatter

We are starting to rebook engagement sessions and I couldn’t be more excited to get back to doing what I love! The last few weeks have been hard in the sense that it seemed like I’d lost, on some level, a sense of purpose. I know it’s easy to take what you do for work for granted. (And I have at times). You just get used to the cycle of, “Pack your bags, hit the road, shoot a wedding or engagement, come home and do it all over again.” But now that it has been temporarily taken from me, I am that more appreciative of the people that allow me to work with them on their wedding day. So, with that said... COVID can kiss my ass. Lets get to work! 😎😜

I’m REALLY enjoying getting to spend this time looking back through past weddings! As eager as I am to get back to doing what I love, I don’t want to miss this opportunity and space I have to create a newer and fresher perspective on how best to serve my clients!

Still thinking about my couples and all of the hoops they are having to jump through to reschedule their weddings! ❤️❤️ Planning a wedding is stressful enough without having to plan around a global pandemic. But I do get the sense we are close to pushing towards some level of normalcy again. Here’s to 2020 ending on a beautiful note! . . Slide 👉🏻 to see more 🔥🔥🔥

That light 😍😍😍😍😍

I love that my job takes me all over to different places and I get to meet and do work for the best people. THE BEST! Thanks all of you have hired us and who will hire us. We cannot wait to shoot with you again ❤️❤️ (swipe to see more images!)
