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!!!

November 30, 2011 By Erin Snapp

So many times we see a person for just what’s on the outside, a single smile, a single personality, a single passion, a single talent….
but the thing is, each person is layered with what makes them unique deep within their soul.
The Country Girl, The Music Lover, The Girly Girl, The Writer and The One Who Brought the Music to Life…..
With that being said…we present to you images breathing life:

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??

OATLANDS PLANTATION LEESBURG VIRGINIA | ENGAGEMENT STORY | RAT ROD | EVELYN & STEVE

November 2, 2011 By Erin Snapp

One cold rainy night, Evelyn and Steve set out to dance the night away at the Oatlands Plantation Grand Gala.
Little did they know miles away from home their beloved Rat Rod would decide to go no further on this grand adventure.
The harder Steve worked on the car, the harder the rain began to fall.
Meanwhile Evelyn tried to wait oh so patiently, but just knowing time was ticking by and the gala would go on with or without them just about broke her heart.

Luck was just not on their side that night. Evelyn and Steve decided their only chance of making it to the Grand Gala at Oatlands would be to walk.
Making a Quick change over of clothes that would be a bit more comfy,
they decided to leave their beloved Rat Rod alongside the road and continue their journey by foot to the Oatlands Plantation.

Hand in Hand they walked….and walked….and walked until the sun came up before their eyes, there within the misty morning stood the beautiful Oatlands Plantation!
It was more beautiful than they had ever imagined! Sadly they realized they had missed the gala, missed dancing the night away.
Steve handed Evelyn their overnight bag which contained the most simple little black dress, wiped a tiny tear from her cheek, and said “May I have this Dance?”
Dancing in the gardens of the misty morning, realizing love needs not fancy dances, love simply needs two hearts beating as one.

As I end this story of love, it would not be Evelyn and Steve without a little “action” thrown in.
Their dancing came to a sudden halt as they heard footsteps and the voice of the the Inn Keeper shouting…”Who’s There?!?!”
Hand in Hand they ran off and made a “Jump for It”

Can’t wait until the Wedding in 2012!

BRITTNEY & SHANE | ENGAGEMENT PICTURES | WINCHESTER VIRGINIA

October 31, 2011 By Erin Snapp

Oh my goodness….how much fun are Brittney and Shane?!?! We absolutely LOVED this couple!
Their Engagement shoot was the first time meeting them in person, and we all hit it off right away.

The funny thing about this shoot is we almost called it off because of the killer storms on the way, instead Brittney and Shane decided to “go for it”
We went for it and so glad we did, as you can see the skies were amazing!

We could tell they were fun, edgy, and of course in love.
Working with all three of these things is always so much fun for us!
We asked Brittney if she was “BRAVE ENOUGH” to just “HOLD ON”….
her reply was “OF COURSE”…and she nailed the “HOLD ON TIGHT” SHOT!!!

Now…what’cha wait’n for….go look!!!
Would love a comment to let us hear your thoughts

Before I leave, I’d like to say Brittney and Shane you two are so awesome inside and out and we can’t wait to get to know you both more!
All our love and hugs to you

LINDSEY & MATT | CARNIVAL WEDDING | CENTREVILLE VIRGINIA

October 27, 2011 By Erin Snapp

Can you say “FUN WEDDING”??
Can you say “FUN COUPLE”??
Can you say “INFLATABLE SLIDE”??
Can you say “WEAR YOUR CHUCKS”??
Can you say “Snapp-Shot PHOTO BOOTH”??
Yep Lindsey and Matt’s wedding was all of the above and so much more!!!
Their wedding was so unique from the Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich at their ceremony, to their inflatable Slide that YOURS truly slid down hand in hand with the bride and groom!

You will also notice we took our edge to the extreme a bit with one certain shot, you might like it or you might not…we all happen to love it!
When Lindsey and Matt asked us to use our artistic vision for a “smoking shot”…we gladly accepted the challenge and went full force with it and so glad we did.

I do believe our images will tell a much better story of how much fun this couple was than my words couple possible express.
Before I leave you to enjoy these images, I’d like to say thank you to Lindsey and Matt for loving our art,
thank you for asking me to wear my chucks at the wedding,
thank you for the gifts you brought us at your photo-screening, thank you for the amazing card, for the shared bottle of wine and most of all…
thank you for the newly found friendship that we can’t wait to extend!

October 21, 2011 By Erin Snapp

What a GREAT Family!!!
Veronica found us after doing our shoot with the lovely Ana Buitrago….she fell in love with our work and wanted us to capture her family Snapp-Shot Style.
As you can see they are simply beautiful. The awesome thing is their personalities are just as beautiful as they are on the outside.
We really enjoyed working with this family and can’t wait for future shoots to come
