When you love to hike, camp, and adventure in the mountains, where else would you have your wedding photos taken but on the point overlook and big meadows in Shenandoah National Park?! We think the woodland vibe and smiles of the happy couple Chris Mortimer and Jessica Laura Mortimer-Barnett were perfectly captured. 🏔 ❤️

Congrats to Chicken Fiesta's owner, Harold Vega, on his continued success and recent expansion. Because everyone in the RVA region needs to be able to enjoy Chicken Fiesta's yucca, tamal de elote and of course, their delicious rotisserie chicken. (Longtime fans here!) 👏 🐓
