Storytelling Mountain Top Elopement Skyline Drive, Virginia

Rachyl and Joe originally postponed their Virginia wedding celebration for May of 2021, as so many couples chose to do in 2020. I can’t even begin to imagine the stress and frustration of being only two months away from saying “I do”, only to push the date another fourteen months out.

And so it seems, Rachyl and Joe felt the same way. Instead of keeping their May 2021 rescheduled date, they opted to push things back up, so in November of 2020, we climbed a mountain together and got these two married!

We met in the parking lot for Upper Hawksbill Trail about an hour and a half before sunset. It had just started to drizzle, but honestly it didn’t seem as if any of us really cared. The rain never got any harder, and honestly it was a nice relief from the 30 minute hike.

When we reached Hawksbill Summit, the rain stopped and the clouds parted just a bit, so we could see the amazing view below.

Rachyl and Joe’s wedding was definitely a bright spot in a rough year.
