When Ashley and Greg chose to do their engagement session at the Winery at La Grange in Haymarket, VA, we were so excited! We had never been to the Winery at La Grange before… but when you say VA Winery in the fall, we are there! ;) Especially with these two!
Ashley and Greg are so much fun! I am pretty sure I told them I loved them the first time we chatted! ;) They have an energy that is so uplifting and so contagious in the absolute best way! It is the best when you walk away from an engagement session with more energy than you had walking in!
Ashley and Greg- thank you so much for such a FUN engagement session! We loved hanging out with you guys and can’t wait till the next time!
Laura and Michael’s Meadowlark Gardens Wedding in Vienna, VA was so full of love and emotion! That is our favorite kind of wedding day!
Laura and Michael had built a lot of time into their wedding day to make sure they had time to feel the emotions and experience the day without rushing and feeling stressed. As Laura was getting ready, she had time to be. She had time to take a deep breath with her dad and sit on the bed and chat. She had time to feel all of the feelings and even cry a little too! ;)
It is so refreshing and awe-inspiring for me to witness the moment a dad sees his daughter for the first time on her wedding day! It always makes me emotional especially when the dad takes the moment to soak it all in! Laura and her dad had a special connection and it was absolutely beautiful to witness!
Laura and Michael are surrounded by so much love in their lives! It is beautiful! We could not be more excited to have been able to capture their special day that starts the rest of their lives together! Laura and Michael- Congratulations!!! We wish you endless years of those happy smiles and love together!!!
Huge thanks to everyone who helped make Laura and Michael’s wedding so special!
These two and their AMAZING smiles! Ahhh! We had so much fun with Hilary and Pat wandering around Fells Point and Canton in Baltimore for their engagement session!
They made our jobs easy because they are so incredibly comfortable with each other and their smiles burst with happiness! About five minutes into their session, I literally asked them if they had done this before! lol! They hadn’t! Which is just more proof to us that all you need is love! ;)
Hilary and Pat have a beautiful love that left us feeling super energized and super excited that we have the honor to photograph their AMAZING wedding day on the Eastern Shore next year!!! We can’t wait!
There is something incredibly dreamy about Annapolis waterfront wedding celebrations, but Shaunie and Paul’s wedding took dreamy to a whole different level! ;) It was such an incredibly beautiful day all around! We arrived at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation early on Saturday to scope everything out before meeting up with the girls. As we walked along the beach, I literally wanted to pinch myself! WOW! This is where we would spend the evening hanging out with an AMAZING couple and capturing their love! What a blessing!
However, it wasn’t the CBF that made Shaunie and Paul’s wedding so dreamy! It was definitely Shaunie and Paul! Their love is special! And their smiles and excitement to be getting married made our hearts light up all day!
We started the day with the girls at Shaunie’s best friend (and one of our AMAZING brides!!!), Katie‘s parent’s home… and that set the tone for the whole day! Their home is incredible and it was full of 11 bridesmaids who were all there to help make Shaunie and Paul’s wedding day the best it could be! Seriously, it is not often that you have 11 girls in one place and feel nothing but excitement from all of them! Shaunie and her bridesmaids are truly a group of girls we will never forget! They are beautiful inside and out, and we are so grateful for their love and excitement for Shaunie and Paul!
Ahh! There are so many things we could share about Shaunie and Paul’s wedding that were magical! Like Shaunie’s grandparents!!! Ahh, their smiles were the BEST!!! It was so clear they were beyond proud of Shaunie and so excited to welcome Paul to the family!
Goodness! What a special day! Shaunie and Paul, thank you for making our hearts smile BIG! It was such an honor to be there to capture your dreamy wedding day! We love you guys!
HUGE thanks to everyone who helped make Shaunie and Paul’s wedding day so special!!! (An especially big shout out to Katie’s parents for opening up their beautiful new home for the girls to get ready in! You all made us all feel like we were right at home and that definitely set the tone for the whole day! ;) THANK YOU! XOXO!)
After finishing the edits of Renee and Joost’s wedding photos, I went through them again just to soak it all in! I literally had goosebumps! I think that is the sign of a really special day!!! ;) (It also took us right back to their AMAZING engagement session in The Netherlands! Ahhhh! ;) )
Renee and Joost had already officially said “I Do” during their wedding in the Netherlands a few weeks back! However, that did not make their Rochester celebration any less special! In fact, I think it added to their celebration! Renee had dreamed of her wedding since she was a little girl, and this wedding in NY was exactly how she had dreamed it to be! How incredibly special to be able to make it a reality while showing Joost and his family the special traditions of an American wedding!
Being there to capture Renee and Joost’s wedding celebration was such an honor and such a treat for us!! It was so much fun to see so many Bucknellians and think back on the days when I was Renee’s RA her first year at Bucknell! That definitely had something to do with those goosebumps! ;) It may sound a little cliche, but I am so incredibly proud of Renee! It is such a gift to all of us around her to know that she has Joost in her life and her smile is bigger because of it! ;)
Renee and Joost, our hearts are bursting with happiness for you two! Congratulations on this AMAZING time in your lives! We are so excited to cheer you on in all of your adventures to come!
Huge thanks to everyone who helped make Renee and Joost’s day so special!
