We picked this venue for a few reasons: beautiful mountain scenery and hillsides, the ability for us, our family, and our friends to stay on the property for the whole weekend, and it is so dog friendly! I couldn't have asked for a better venue. They were so easy to work with and communicated so well. They were very detailed in what they needed from me so I was never confused. They also went above and beyond, when we arrived they had a welcome basket complete with s'mores supplies, a custom pillow for us, and more. I absolutely loved my beautiful wedding weekend and it is all because of Batten Green.

Our DJ, Nathan, met with us about 3 weeks before the wedding to go over all the details and answered all our questions. We knew from the start we had picked the right DJ. They also provided music for our wedding ceremony and wireless lapel mics so everyone could hear what was going on. He had the dance floor packed all night, and our guests are still commenting months later about how much fun they had. We added on the uplighting package which completely transformed our venue and it was worth it. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our special day perfect.

Melinda, owner of Happy Finch Photography, is amazing. She took our wedding photos in October 2018. She was so professional to work with and made taking pictures for our wedding so easy. It took 3 weeks to get the pictures back and every picture was given to us in color and black and white. The pictures were so vivid and the colors just popped. We loved our pictures so much we hired Melinda to take family pictures for us a year later. If you’re looking for a photographer in central VA go with Happy Finch Photography.

We went to Honey Bee’s to see if there was any chance they had an opening, and they just happened to have our date available. They designed the bouquet of my dreams and beautiful bridesmaids bouquets and the men’s boutonnières to match and kept my vision, the season, and the price in mind. I highly recommend!!

Staunton, VA
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000

I’ve fostered a passion for visual storytelling for as long as I can remember! I love creating emotive albums of photographs that tell your organic story and help eternalize “once in a lifetime” moments. Timeless, authentic, and inspiring.

Tori was hands down my favorite vendor to work with throughout our entire wedding process. She is incredibly thoughtful, talented, and truly goes above and beyond in every way. She traveled quite a distance into DC for our engagement shoot, which was included in our package, and that day actually turned into a surprise elopement for us. Without hesitation, she extended the session and captured the entire day so beautifully. It felt magical and it is still one of my favorite memories. Having her there truly felt like a gift. Her work is absolutely stunning. I love how timeless her photos are, and you can tell there is real thoughtfulness behind every single shot she takes. Nothing feels forced or overly posed. She captured so many genuine moments that we will treasure forever. On our wedding day she showed up and went above and beyond again. Not only did she bring a phenomenal second shooter, but she stepped in more than once to help keep things calm and running smoothly when our wedding coordinator was unfortunately very unorganized. She was more than just a photographer that day. She helped calm my nerves and truly felt like someone in our corner. Another thing that completely blew me away was her turnaround time. We received our album so quickly, which was incredible considering she is busy shooting weddings almost every weekend. I was honestly shocked at how fast she delivered such a beautiful gallery. She made the entire process feel easy and stress free from beginning to end. I truly cannot recommend Tori enough, and if we ever move back to the area I would book another shoot with her in a heartbeat. She was an absolute godsend and such a special part of one of the best days of my life.

Your wedding day is a whirlwind of family and friends, vows and true love, good food and of course lots of cake! With a wedding photographer, all the beautiful moments can be captured and remembered forever. Pop of Molly Photography focuses on candid photography encapsulating the bride and groom and wedding guests enjoying the moment and being their own beautiful selves. Focusing on candid photography doesn't mean I won't take the time to sit down with you and go over the "must have" shots, list of family members and wedding party, and ensure I have photos of all your Pinterest board "dream wedding" photos.

Molly was the best photographer we could have asked for. She was a calming and friendly presence as soon as she arrived. My husband and I did not have a super thorough plan and Molly had no problem just doing her thing. And her "thing" is being an incredible photographer. We loved the candid photos she captured of not only us but our loved ones. She is incredibly easy to work with and made our wedding experience so wonderful. I know that the pictures Molly took will be cherished for the rest of our lives and in the lives of those who love us. Molly also made the preparation process incredibly easy. She has a great understanding of how hard wedding planning can be and how expensive. The results of her work are completely worth the (very reasonable) price.

I am a professional wedding coordinator turned queer bride and I was worried about finding a good DJ for our wedding. Many wedding DJs give me second hand embarrassment and create a cringey homecoming-y vibe. Also, we had a guest count of just 47 so we were worried about finding a DJ who could get the dance floor moving with such a small group. Frank was everything we were looking for and more!!! Frank absolutely BLEW US AWAY with his professionalism, talent, and personality! In meetings he was attentive, explained everything in detail, and really worked to get to know us as a couple instead of just a cookie cutter one size fits most format. QUEER COUPLES THIS IS YOUR DJ!!! As a queer couple, we were in search of vendors who would make us feel safe and welcome through the whole process. We absolutely found that in Frank! He was open and understanding of pronouns, identities, and family dynamics. He truly cared and listened to us about each and every aspect! We felt truly celebrated, safe, and welcome! On the big day everyone was telling us how well they could hear everything during the ceremony (it was outside and windy) and we gave alllllll the credit to Frank’s high quality equipment and skill. My spouse and I kept talking about how good of an announcer he was and how well spoken he was. Zero cringing on my end (which is HUGE for me)! His lighting and set up was professional and elegant. It didn’t take away from the rest of the decor while still lighting up on the dance floor beautifully and made for the perfect dancing atmosphere! Once it was time for dancing he kept the party going until the last song even with our small guest count! We had a blast and Frank played a MASSIVE role in that! He worked seamlessly with our planner and designer, Mia, with Little Acorns Events who recommended him! Our timeline, experience, and vibe was perfect thanks to their collaboration!!! We couldn’t possibly recommend Frank with PTEG enough! Trust me he will be the highlight of your event!

We got to host our wedding at Love Ridge Mountain Lodging and we loved the experience. We appreciate the setting because it is beautiful, accessible and appropriately private. Having the 12 cabins there, as well as the camp sites, gave our guests many options and ample parking. All the rooms and beds are super comfortable. It was a perfect place to host a large gathering. People stayed two nights and enjoyed relaxing activities while we focused on staging the wedding - they could hike, ride e-bikes, play lawn games, relax in hot-tubs, and play with our photo booth. It was great! There were many spaces to choose from to create various atmospheres for the wedding. We used the lodge, the gathering lawn, the courtyard, and we had a tent on the open field for the reception dinner. We also had multiple bonfires and bar sites. It made the event feel varied and exciting, while keeping everyone in one place. The venue owners were very helpful and accommodating, happy to work with us during the planning process to make sure everything was taken care of. We're thus very happy to recommend this place!

The Perfect Venue for the Best Day of Our Lives We hosted our wedding reception here as a cocktail party under the stars, and it truly was everything we dreamed of and more. The setting was stunning, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that felt straight out of a fairytale. Even though it was mid-June, the evening turned out to be a bit chillier than expected. We had originally set up cooling units for the caterer, but with a quick change of plans, the team seamlessly switched to heating units on the back deck. Their flexibility and professionalism meant everything went off without a hitch. The entire experience—from the ambiance to the attentive service—was flawless. I wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate our wedding anywhere else. It was the best day of our lives, and this venue played a huge part in making it so special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, adaptable, and unforgettable place to say “I do.”

At Rudy C Photography, LLC, I specialize in capturing love stories with a blend of artistry and authenticity. From the quiet, intimate glances to the joyful, candid celebrations, I document each wedding day with care and intention. My goal is to provide not only beautiful images but a relaxed, heartfelt experience that allows couples to be fully present as I preserve the moments that will become their first family heirlooms.

Rudy is the most magical, caring, professional, thoughtful, unforgettable, and anything good you could say about a person. She has done my college grad as well as our engagement and wedding photos (and my sister in law’s maternity and newborn photos). Each time I work with her I am more blown away. She takes into account each persons comfort level in front of the camera, your Pinterest board, your favorite editing style, she plays music to make it feel more fun, etc. She is a dream to work with and I couldn’t recommend her more.
