Shenandoah Boho Mountain Elopement

February 20, 2019

HOLY MOLY!! I really have no words for this Shenandoah boho mountain elopement!! This elopement was inspired by these two lovebirds and adventurers. They both enjoy exploring and don’t mind getting a little dirty along the way! 

Story time: We all got in the car and drove to the Shenandoah mountains from Virginia Beach (a 4 hour drive) only to be told that the park was CLOSED for the weekend due to fallen trees from ice. I mean I guess it was February! I actually thought they were joking for a second!! So we all sighed, turned around and headed back down the mountain. I thought we would have to pull over on the side of the road and snap a few photos and that was that! But then we decided to RALLY!

And by rally I mean Trey (the groom) searching the All Trails app on his phone and finding a random park down the road!! We pulled up to this said park outside of Shenandoah and were pleasantly surprised. Little did we know we would find an enchanted forest and create this insane MAGIC for Trey and Nicole!! It was such an amazing semi-warm and overcast day too. We seriously got SO lucky and ended up having a blast together! Lots of dancing, singing, laughing, exploring.

We ended the evening together by getting mediterranean food and yummy cupcakes for dessert! It was the BEST! I’m so so happy to have captured these keepsakes for Trey and Nicole.

Your eyes aren’t even prepared for what they are about to see!! Get ready.

Enjoy!  Xo

Behind the Lens

MEET Jessie

Photographer, creative, wifey, boy mama - inspired by music, good light, and you.

Hi! I’m Jessie Walker Drudy, and I’m so glad you’re here!

I specialize in weddings, couples, families, maternity and now offering boudoir. I am currently based in Virginia Beach, VA but I Serve All of Virginia and willing to travel! 

When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll usually find me a local coffee shop with a mom friend aka running after our wild kiddos or watching some sort of sporting event with my husband! Our two dogs are considered a part of our family and I truly enjoy when my clients bring their own dogs (or cats because we don't discriminate) to their sessions or incorporate them in details at weddings!

I've been doing this for more than a decade and I'm still obsessed with the joy I witness on my clients’ biggest days. 

My clients don't leave with a stack of posed portraits. They leave with little slices of real life — the looks, the laughs, the moments nobody else noticed because they were too busy celebrating or fully taking it all in.

That’s the mission, and it starts well before your session or wedding day. I’m not here to be a stranger behind a lens, I’m here to help capture the story you’ll be telling for years to come!
