I really just want to have my bridals done in the mountains, she said. What?! Yes, road trip! This session was in early October. We left on a Sunday afternoon and took our time scouting out various locations. We spent the night at Wintergreen Resort<\/a> which is so peaceful this time of year. While the leaves were still green, the Blue Ridge never ceases to impress me. Our first stop for Chloe Kent’s bridal session was a scenic overlook in Wintergreen.  \"Chloe_167.jpg\"\/

An extended shoot like this can create lots of moments for great bloopers!<\/p>\n
