Virginia Mountaintop Elopement at Raven’s Roost Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway

ByJo Mahaney

If you’re looking for a sign to do whatever the heck you want for your wedding, you’ve found it. A private elopement just the two of you is an amazing alternative to a traditional wedding that will surely give you a memorable story to tell. This couple planned an elopement week getaway along the Blue Ridge Parkway with newlywed portraits on Raven’s Roost Overlook, one of Virginia’s most popular scenic spots for proposals, engagement portraits, and even small weddings.

Spontaneous Augusta County Courthouse Elopement Photography

ByJo Mahaney

I met James and Danielle about half way through their elopement on the Augusta County Courthouse steps. During my morning coffee run, I noticed a cute couple getting married just outside our photography studio in downtown Staunton, without a photographer! Danielle’s mom was there snapping a few images on her phone. But I certainly couldn’t let their wedding go on undocumented! So, I spontaneously photographed their Augusta County Courthouse Elopement. I rarely get to provide elopement photography. Maybe a couple times a year! So, this experience was really thrilling for me.
