Romantic Fall Photos at Sugar Hollow Park

Romantic Fall Anniversary Photos at Sugar Hollow Park

One of my favorite places to shoot in Bristol, Virginia is at Sugar Hollow Park. It’s over 400 acres of diverse terrain and it makes for absolutely stunning photos! When Kristen & Levi reached out about getting some updated photos for their holiday cards–it was one the first places I recommended!

We immediately made our way up to the forrest area, which has the iconic lines of pine trees as far as the eye can see. The photos we took at golden hour were truly magical as the sunset reflected in the background! It was so fun to get to know them both and meet their sweet doggie. They adopted her just about a year ago and it’s so fun to see how well she’s bonded with them!

We wrapped up our session at Sugar Hollow Park on the walkway above the dam. The grassy trail has unhindered views for miles each way and is excellent  for capturing photos with unencumbered horizon. Kristen was the epitome of a bohemian goddess in her deep magenta maxi dress that just blended in with the twilight sky. Levi looked great as well in a flannel button down that brought the rustic holiday vibe to their photos!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.

Wanna know what you need for                        
detail photos?
