The dream team is here! Three photographers. Two former wedding photographers who both took breaks to focus on both motherhood photography and farm life blogging and one retired from weddings with 20 plus years experience offering albums and product services. THIS, my friends, is a BIG DEAL! Two PROFESSIONAL shooters the day of your wedding from both Mariah Springs Photography and Meredith Bernard Photography, and fine art products offered by Lisa Carter of Photography by Lisa.
I aim for your experience with Mariah Springs Photography to be beautiful, and simplistic. Join me in my natural light studio, out in the fields and paths of Pittsylvania County, or in the beautiful and historical downtown Danville for your portraits.
As an English major, I started in the creative world by becoming a writer and high school teacher. After close to 10 years of teaching, I then discovered that photographs are poems in themselves. They tell the stories of people’s lives, and they turn people and their emotions into great works of art. Photographs drive out the happiness in people’s lives even amongst the frustration and chaos of getting ready and picking out clothes for sessions or making children behave for a shoot. In the end, people see the beauty within their own lives. Photographs are “soul catchers” like that. They capture the happiness within.
When Meredith quit her corporate sales job in 2013 to come home to the farm, she traded her truck for a tractor, while also finding a passion for photography and writing. Through the journey, she’s realized her deepest passion is telling life stories. After six years of photographing weddings on her own, she’s thrilled to team up with Mariah Springs to bring a new and exciting dimension to what she feels is the most tangible and important part of a couple’s wedding day - the photographs that bring and keep the day alive for generations. When not behind her camera, Meredith can be found helping tend cows or raking hay on her family’s farm, homeschooling her two children, free-lance writing, cooking or telling her own life story through her blog and vlog - all with a strong daily dose of coffee and grace.
