Liz + Jed: Married!

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of working for Kate Triano and her lovely couple Liz and Jed on their wedding day at Rust Manor in Leesburg. The venue had the most beautiful rooms with gorgeous light and I would highly recommend it as a gorgeous ceremony and reception location. The reception was done in a wine theme in preparation for Liz and Jed's big move to Napa Valley. Best of luck to them both! Here are two quick moments that I captured between the bride and groom and the groom and his mother.

Sarah + Josh: A Kansas City Wedding

A few weekends ago, I took a weekend off to head out to Kansas to visit my good friend and awesome photographer, Jason Domingues and his family. Being a photographer, I think it's fun to use time off to work with friends, so of course I had to take him up on the chance to shoot a wedding with him. Jason's been one of my biggest inspirations since I began wedding photography and it was an absolute pleasure to have this chance to see him in action.

Despite the weekend being 70 degrees and sunny in DC, I landed in KS at the same time as a storm front came in. So our great couple, Sarah and Josh, as well as their bridal party, Jason and I spent the day braving 30 degrees, wind and SNOW in the middle of APRIL! But we had a great time and I can't wait to go back....or have Jason come out here and shoot a wedding with me (hint, hint!)

Jessica & Nick: Married!

On the first weekend in April, Jessica and Nick held a lovely ceremony at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. Despite the forecast for rain, the weather was sunny and warm. The ceremony was so emotional and I don't think there were many dry eyes to be seen. I was also extremely impressed with the seamstress talents of Jessica's mom! She made all of the bridesmaids dresses and the bridal gown from silk Jessica's father picked out and brought back with him from China. The colors were gorgeous!

Thank you for letting me be a part of your day! I wish you many years of happiness with Anna!

Venue: Meadowlark Botanical Gardens
Make-Up: Victoria Stiles
DJ: Kirk from Kirkabee

Jackie & Jeremy: Married!

Jackie and Jeremy were married last month on the Potomac River aboard the Capital Elite. I was excited for their wedding not only because this was my first wedding on a boat, but also because this couple lives right next door to my family! Congratulations to both of you and I am sure I will see you again soon!

Robin + Rae : Married!

I know that I am really behind in posting, so you can expect several updates from me over the next day or so. First, Robin and Rae were married back in March with a reception at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons's Corner on a perfect spring day. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather....or a lovelier couple!

Gen + Dan = Engaged!

Yesterday, I had a terrific afternoon with Gen and Dan in preparation for their April wedding. We wandered around Georgetown for a bit before we stopped to refuel with pizza and Belgian beer at Pizzeria Paradiso. And it was only after spending over 3 hours together did Dan and I realize that we had gone to the same high school, only one year apart! While my colleague, Joe will be their photographer for their wedding day, I hope to get a chance to stop by and see them before their ceremony. Regardless, best of luck to both of you and I am looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Matti + RJ

About two weeks ago, I went to hang out with Massachusetts photographer, Rebekah Kay during the reception of her friends Matti and RJ at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, VA. The party was fabulous, and guests from eight years old to eighty didn't leave the dance floor all night!! And much of this was due to the great job D.J. Craig Nalley of Nalley Enterprises, Inc. (301.460.3605) did in keeping the music going strong.
