SHENANDOAH VALLEY GOLF CLUB | FRONT ROYAL VIRGINIA | SPRING WEDDING | ASHLEE & FRANZ

April 10, 2012 By Erin Snapp

Wow, what a beautiful Spring day for Ashlee and Franz’s wedding at the Shenandoah Valley Golf Club!!
I arrived to find the most awesome bunch of girls, perfectly prepared and exactly on time.
Not only were they awesome in this area of things…but I felt like I was with old friends as soon as I walked in.
I can’t thank you all enough for being so great to me!

Next came “The First Look” for Ashlee and Franz, one of the most touching moments as Ashlee’s eyes filled with tears when she saw Franz awaiting her arrival.
The moment he turned to face her, the rest of the world disappeared….including us, and that’s exactly the way we wanted it.
We captured their moment in time, their first look on their wedding day forever in time. Even the girls watched from afar as they embraced this moment.
Truly beautiful!

One of my favorite things in the world is the special bonding time we spend with our couples as we create their formal shots.
Ashlee and Franz were so awesome, Franz entertained us with golfing stories and crow snatching snack stories along the way.
I’ll always cherish those laughs we shared and all the times they told us how grateful they were for us being there…it was so awesome.

Then of course the oh so elegant ceremony, and the reception that rocked the night away!
Anyone who knows us, knows how much we love a party…we love getting right in the midst of things and
capturing those crazy dance shots that only we will remember the next morning! LOL
We truly can’t say enough as to how much we enjoyed not only Ashlee and Franz, but their family and friends who were so sweet, and so kind to us!!!
We LOVE you ALL and can’t wait to see you again.

LANGFORD FAMILY | JOHN HANDLEY HIGH SCHOOL | WINCHESTER VIRGINIA

January 13, 2012 By Erin Snapp

Oh the Warmth of a January Shoot!!!
Yep, that’s right…I said warmth in January….almost 60 degrees to be exact.
Natalie contacted me oh so excited after falling in love with our work and asked for a shoot right away.
Now typically it would be too cold this time of year, but it surely must have been in the plans for us to do their family shoot
We decided to do the shoot at John Handley High School, as the family holds great memories here since two of their boys attend school there.

What an awesome family!
We thrive off of clients who fall in love with our art and have unique personalities and styles.
Natalie and Mick are such cool parents, letting each kid be his/her own person.
You can see from the images we created, two of the boys William and Nathan are lovers of sports,
Daniel on the other hand is very edgy, artistic, and could carry his own style like no other kid we’ve met…then of course little Lili full of spunk and funky style.
We even took a bit of extra time at the end of the shoot to let the athletes go play, while we worked images of art with Daniel and Lili.
We loved every moment of working with them….so fun, so unique, so into the art we were creating!
Natalie and Mick also had their very own coolness factors, we even found out he was once in a Rock Band back in the day!
As you can see they are all simply gorgeous and we can’t wait to work with them again!

THE JONES FAMILY | NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHERS | WINCHESTER VIRGINIA

December 10, 2011 By Erin Snapp

Teddy Bear:
A teddy bear is a faithful friend
You can pick him up at either end
His fur is the color of breakfast toast
And he’s always there when you need him most
Everything in life I’ll share
Except of course my teddy bear.
Beyond the Client:
I wish somehow I could put into words what this shoot meant to us.
The Love, The Trust, The Friendship, The Family Bond we have created with Steph and Drew since meeting them in 2009 is so much more than we could have ever imagined. They fell in love with our work, we fell in love with our new clients, and then throughout we have become such close friends…in fact closer than friends…they are “family”
…..and then there was Little London
We were one of the first to know Steph was expecting, we documented the pregnancy, we sat by their side throughout many hours of labor with London, we were one of the first to hold him, we took his very first pictures, and now we captured forever in time his very first Photo Shoot.
It’s already a bond like no other…in fact I do believe we even heard the title “Auntie Erin and Uncle Corey” throughout
“A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.”
With that being said…..here’s to many more days, months, and years of memories captured forever in time with these three beautiful people who mean the world to us. We love you guys so very much

THE JONES FAMILY | CHRISTMAS VACATION PHOTOGRAPHS | WINCHESTER VIRGINIA

December 9, 2011 By Erin Snapp

My (Erin) favorite Christmas movie of all times is “National Lampoons Christmas Vacation”,
so needless to say I was super excited when the Jones Family came to us asking if we were up for recreating “Christmas Vacation” Movie Stills!!!

It’s always so much fun shooting with Steph and Drew, you may remember our last shoot with them when they were still “expecting” little London’s arrival.
Being the ones to have captured their Engagement, their Wedding, their pregnancy, the day London arrived, and now his very first photo shoot at Christmas is more special than words could ever say to us…as they were once clients and now they have become friends who are truly like family to us.

Now….let’s get on with a little “Christmas Vacation” movie fun!
I hope you have as much fun remembering each recreation as we had recreating each movie still……..
and now I dedicate this shoot to the Griswold, um I mean Jones Family Christmas

Of course it’s never a Snapp-Shoot without the “ERIN it’s a WRAP” shot, Corey agreed to join in on the fun this time around toooooo!!
I also thought you might find a fun smile in an “out take” with little London, he was not having any part of the “looking for the squirrel” shot

MOLLY EDDIE & QUENT | BAPTISM PHOTOGRAPHY | WINCHESTER VIRGINIA

December 2, 2011 By Erin Snapp

Awwww Yet another perfect shoot with baby “Quent”!
Many of you may remember how honored we were when Molly & Eddie asked us to shoot Quent’s very first Photo Shoot,
we were once again truly honored to have been asked to capture little Quent’s Baptism!
Such a special day for the little guy and for the entire McCoig and Bridgeforth Family.
As always they were all so much fun to work with and we can’t wait until the next time we capture their cherished moments.
Much love to each and every one of you and God Bless!!!

AMANDA & TONY | FAMILY BABY PHOTOGRAPHER | PURCELLVILLE VIRGINIA | SUNSET HILLS VINEYARD

November 9, 2011 By Erin Snapp

OH MY GOODNESS…don’t you just wanna SQUEEZE this little CUTIE?!?!?
We were so excited to hear the great news that previous clients Amanda and Tony had a little baby girl Natalie
It had been almost 2 years since we had worked with them, so needless to say it was such a fun reunion!!!

I don’t even need to tell you how cute little Natalie is, because the pictures speak for themselves.
I will say she was one of the best babies ever! She was so fascinated with her little Lion (see ERIN it’s a WRAP) featuring Mr. Toy Lion.

We can’t wait to watch this little one grow up and very much look forward to the next shoot!
Amanda, Tony, and little miss Natalie…we heart you three

HILLBROOK INN | VINTAGE SNOW WEDDING | CHARLES TOWN WEST VIRGINIA | CINDY & MARK

November 6, 2011 By Erin Snapp

SNOW in October!?!?
Yep, Mark and Cindy dreamed of a Fall Colored Sunset Wedding, instead they got a Fairy Tale Snow Covered Wedding!

We woke up to a snow covered morning…plans were to let Cindy and Mark know if we could make it on the back country roads.
Our text message to them…”we will be there no matter what”
So off we went through snow covered roads, downed trees, and snow up to our ankles.

We drove up to a picture perfect snow covered Inn…Corey and I just simply smiled and said “let’s do this”
Cindy and Mark were so awesome to work with, it was like spending the day playing in the snow with two close friends!
They worried more about “us” than they did about themselves”
We can’t say enough how much we enjoyed them…and look forward to our ever growing friendship with them!
We love you both, and a little message to Cindy….did I keep my promise??
