This Sunday wedding in December felt like a Spring wedding with overcast skies and warmer clients. We couldn’t believe that with a 48 hour window, one day felt like winter freezes and the next day was a spring day. We met these cuties through James’ family as we photographed his sisters wedding 2.5 years ago.

James and Jessica had a really special day as the majority of the day was spent at their new home in Silver Spring. Together they bought 10 acres, an old horse farm, and all of their portraits from their first look, to their wedding party, to their family portraits were in and outside their home.

They wanted a winter feel to their photos, so we wove in furs, luxury details and home decor that would capture their love story, their fashion preferences and their sweet love. And of course some winter Christmas trees too.

In 2015, my mom’s high school best friend reached out to me asking what our pricing was. She had a daughter getting married and knew we were photographers and wanted us to shoot her daughters wedding. Marybeth and Brads wedding was one of our first weddings as full-time photographers. 4 years later, Ms Cathy emails me again. This time for her son. Of course, “we’d be honored” I told her.

Meet Mo and David. When Monique and David hired us, alongside Ms Cathy, we were so excited. Mainly because we had worked with this family before, knew they were good people, and secretly, I was really excited to see Marybeth and Brad again. The last time we saw them was when we said goodbye at the end of their wedding.
