Jewell Hollow Overlook, Shenandoah

Ashley and Dean’s engagement session was one for the books! These two are tying the knot in May 2025 at the gorgeous Morais Vineyards in Bealeton, Virginia, and let me tell you, their engagement session set the tone for what’s going to be an unforgettable celebration.

Ashley had her heart set on Shenandoah for a mountain mini-adventure session, and that’s exactly what we made happen. We kicked things off at Mary’s Tunnel on Skyline Drive, soaking in the incredible views and snapping some fun, laid-back shots. From there, we hopped between overlooks, chasing the perfect spots, and ended up at the breathtaking Jewell Hollow Overlook.

Jewell Hollow is a dream—wide open views, trails just a few steps away, and no intense hiking required (bonus!). These two brought the vibes with a champagne pop moment that was pure magic. We laughed, explored, and made the most of our 1.5 hours together on the mountain.

It was such a beautiful session, filled with love, laughter, and the perfect touch of adventure. Knowing how much joy Ashley and Dean bring to each other, I can only imagine how amazing their wedding day will be. May can’t come soon enough!
