I was born an artist, and it took me shy of just 29 years to figure out how to share it with the world. During college, I studied fashion design with a focus in photography. This unique training allowed me to take an idea from creation, to production, to print. I founded Gregorio Photography in 2009 while shooting weddings for Beautiful Day Photography. It is an indescribable feeling to be included in the tender moments that unfold throughout ones wedding day. Shooting weddings makes me happy! Although I am based out of Virginia, I am eager to accompany my clients to wherever their hearts desire. So far my photography has taken me to Arizona, California, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington DC, West Virginia, Eleuthera, Guatemala and Mexico . My images have also been featured in such notable publications as Destination Weddings and Honeymoons, Caribbean Brides and The Knot.com.

In addition to weddings, I also photograph special events, parties, horse shows, animals, and commercial products. When I am not out with my camera, I can be found enjoying time with my husband, Sean, riding horses, or playing with my three amazing dogs, Luna, Beau and Cash.

Over the past six years I have built an amazing team of photographers who also live for this passion. I would love the opportunity to share my vision with you. Please contact me to inquire about custom packages or special requests.

Born and educated in Germany, Hans Gerhard first came to the US as an exchange student for "just one year", but returned to teach at American Universities, and has lived in the US since 1958. For many years, he considered himself a recreational painter of landscapes, and occasional carver of wooden objects, sometimes recognizable as birds,mammals,or fish. Since moving to Hughes River Farm in Rappahannock County in 1987, and encouraged by kindred spirits among the Rappahannock arts and craft community, he has turned to working with scrap iron and steel to create sometimes bizarre,usually rusty, and occasionally whimsical sculptures. In this genre he follows ideas derived from folk art and richly developed by masters of modernist art in different countries. His paintings,meanwhile, have left the realm of observed "reality" and turned emphatically abstract: creating their own reality, leaving the viewers to reach into their own imagination.

Gerhard's work was first publically shown by the late venerable Washington,D.C. Arts Dealer Franz Bader during the 1970ies, and, more recently, in Virginia galleries. His paintings and sculptures have been acquired by public and private collections in the United States and Europe.

In her studio and showroom at Juba Mountain Pottery, Susan Dienelt makes and sells elegant but still very functional stoneware pots to be used in the kitchen, at the table and around the home. Her pots are dishwasher, microwave and oven safe. They are fired in a very hot gas kiln in which salt is added toward the end of the firing. The interaction of the salt, the heat and the clay form a special patina, making certain that no two pots look exactly alike. Come see her pots and where they are made with a beautiful view of Old Rag Mountain. Check website for directions and more information.
