Yah! Therese and Dan are MARRIED! Happy almost 4 months of being married! We are so excited to share your blog post with the world today and all the incredible fun details of your day. These lovebirds had everything at one location which is always a win because transportation is easy for family, wedding party, and our couples. Pond View Farm is a family owned farm that has a beautiful barn, great space for cocktail hour and a ceremony site the looks out to a gorgeous weeping willow and pond. 

Yahh! This wedding is so fun for us to post. Let’s first start off saying that is was our first full greek traditional wedding we’ve photographed. But beyond that, everything in the day was amazing. The day started off with the wedding party and families getting ready at the Four Seasons hotel. We had gorgeous details and monogrammed goodness, we had so much fun photographing their personals.

Angela’s mom dressed her and Chris’ brother and dad helped him. With reveals with bridesmaids, dad and moms, these two went into their first look giddy, excited and anticipating the best! When Chris turned to see Angela, it was amazing. The nerves left and the two of them giggled, hugged and kissed and they both just admired each other. Within minutes a surprise showed up, their sweet dog. We love when fur babies show up to wedding days so we made sure to get those pics. Since our almost newlyweds opted for a first look, we were able to get all their iconic photos on the front end of the day! Wedding party and family were amazing to work with and we got to church on time and ready to get these two married. I loved the Greek ceremony with all its customs and important moments. Soon after announcing them as husband and wife, a bubble send-off with all guests as they cheered and celebrated our newlyweds! We surprised these guys with some drone photos since the church building was soo neat… a bucket list church to shoot at!

I absolutely LOVE the mayflower hotel, love our nation and the monuments that surround DC. When michelle and Pat hired us, we were thrilled as we love the mayflower, its elegance, and its beautiful ballrooms and corridors. Subtle beautiful details are throughout.

Michelle and pat both got ready for their big day on site. Michelle wore a family heirloom which was a crowned veil and blusher. Her classy dress was amazing. Neil wore a white tux… fabulous and he looked all good! They didn’t share a first look so the anticipation was real, welcome, and fulfilling. All separates we’re done pre-ceremony. With the the passing of Michelle’s dad, her amazing uncle stepped into the place of her escort and honor. They rode together in a black Cadillac to the wedding. Upon arrival He walked her down the aisle to Pat. The church was beautiful! Full mass followed by a beautiful cocktail hour for guests. While guests mingled, the newlywed, wedding party and is gallivanted through DC and hit up 3 iconic DC locations! The reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial, the WWII museum, and the Washington monument… oh and someone ordered ShakeShack Fries midway through!!

I mean there’s just so much… the day was awesome. We left their day feeling so fulfilled. They might go down in history as the most family photos we’ve taken in a day but they may go down also as the best families… attentive, receptive and on time for photo segments! The florals are always a favorite for me. Can’t get enough. And Sami’s gown… OMG… Haley Paige, and the bridesmaids… Sami crushed it. What Sami picked out for her babes… they all looked incredible!

I don’t normally pray for rain on wedding days unless it’s at the end of the night… and for this wedding, my pray was answered! But let’s start back at the beginning on the day. It didn’t look too good weather wise but minute by minute the forecast shifted. Thankfully it did not impact our ability to photograph portraits and family photos which we feel are some of the most important photos of the day!

As one of our more traditional weddings of the year, everything about this day was strategic. Her mom helped Stephanie get dressed, put her veil in and kissed her cheek. Karl’s dad dressed him and helped him with his tuxedo. They got married in a beautiful church on Kent Island right around the corner from their gorgeous venue, Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. If you’ve never been, we hope you get invited there soon to a wedding, it’s just wonderful and has beautiful Bay Bridge views!

I don’t like to say we have favorite weddings, but when we photograph friends and people we’ve known for years it’s really hard not to be really excited to show up and document their love story.  Megan and Steven are one of those couples. We met these two through one of our couples Heather and […]

Yah! I’m excited to share this wedding with you all today! This Springfield manor wedding is full of beautiful, sweetness and a lot of fun! I met Allison all because of Basket and Blossom, an incredible florist who we’ve not only worked alongside many times, but have photographed more than 1 of their staff members! The day was full, sunny, bright but all for the sake of killer photos, well worth the heat!

Jen and Greg had an awesome wedding at Turf Valley. As one of our rescheduled clients that had hired us back in 2019 we were so excited for their wedding day to come. Jen and Greg warned us that it would be quite the party. And it did not disappoint.

When we arrived at Turf Valley that morning and I walked into the bridal Suite I knew I was in for a good time. The music was blaring, girls were in chairs getting hair and makeup done, and smiles were all around. Greg was just around the corner in another room about ready to meet the guys down in a suite to get dressed and ready for the day. These two had such a fun morning with family and friends. Jen shared a sweet first look with her dad. Soon after Jen would head outside for her first look with Greg. I absolutely love their first look. The way Greg looked at her and their excitement for what the day would hold most so evident. We managed to get all wedding party and the majority of family photos done on the front end of the day.

This wedding was one for the books for us. Kristin and Adam are incredible. I felt like I’ve known them forever, but the first time we met in person was at their wedding. K+A were referred to us by one of her bridesmaids, a friend of mine from college, thanks Steph! When they hired us, we were so pumped! We had never shot a wedding at Belmont Country Club in Leesburg VA, so shooting a Loudon County wedding was pretty neat for us. When we arrived, we loved the venue. The guys were in a parlor of a historic house and the girls were in a sitting room that partnered a gorgeous high ceiling bathroom. Probably the prettiest bathroom I’ve ever seen on a wedding day.

Yah! This wedding has been delivered and they love their photos! And I have to say, we do too! When we met Steph and John, we just knew that they would be one of those couples that would have an awesome wedding day, be excited for the full experience of the day, but also trust us to do what we love and are good at. The whole day was wonderful. These two opted not to do a first look which allowed us to do a lot of their separates on the front end of the day. Steph shared a really sweet reveal with her dad. John gave Stephanie a photo album… like a custom one and it was so sentimental. One of my favorite details from their day was including their dog on socks as well as signature drinks. Oh, and Steph wore cowboy boots!
