Simon & Fiona were adorable together at Daughters of the American Revolution in Washington, D.C. with the mauve details and florals. I loved the portico cocktail hour under the tent with exquisite details and Cocktail Creations making yummy drinks!

Corey and Emily’s elegant and glamorous wedding at the 2841 Resturaunt was filled with lush florals and dozens of details. From their custom name card display with personal photos of each guest to the interactive cocktail hour games, these two thought of it all! Not only did these two have beautiful details, but they are madly in love. It was wonderful to photograph the chemistry between them!

Legacy of Love | Wedding Clients Becoming Family Clients

Legacy of Love | Wedding Clients Becoming Family Clients

2019 was the year of babies! I had the opportunity to fulfill a business dream of mine to take newborn + family photos for past wedding clients. One of the goals I have for my business is to encourage and document a legacy of love. A legacy of love between the husband and wife onto their children through photography that will last for generations. These 10 families are just the beginning of this amazing legacy!

This post took a little longer than normal because of how busy we were this past fall! We had an incredible wedding season in 2019 and worked with so many amazing couples. I wanted to showcase some of our favorite images from the season. Each wedding was so different and capturing the different love stories is a joy!

The last of our 2018 favorites! Each of these weddings were very different from each other but all incredible in their own way. I love seeing the way each of the couples display their style through their wedding details, colors, and decor! This is just the beginning of their love stories, and it was an honor to capture each one. It was also wonderful to work with each of their families! We continue to add new friends to our AGP couples each year and it makes our job such a blessing.

This is always such a fun post to put together! I love looking back over the year and re-living all the sweet moments at each wedding through the images. I was pregnant this entire wedding season which made things interesting! As my belly grew each month, guests loved to make comments and give advice at each wedding. It was always entertaining!

Mark and Shelby are married!! They say it is good luck when it rains on your wedding day, and it was pouring right before these two tied the knot! They exchanged vows in their reception room with the beautiful string lights overhead and their family and friends surrounding them. It stopped raining after the ceremony, so we were able to take portraits outside! It was amazing.

This was a wedding for the books! Jeff and Melissa said, "I do" under a beautiful Chuppah with friends and family there to celebrate. After the ceremony, they danced the night away with a fun sparkler exit at midnight. It was a wonderful day!

Stephen and Susan are married!! It was a gorgeous day at Westwood Country Club in Virginia where these two tied the knot and danced the night away. Their fur baby golden retriever pup couldn't be at the wedding so they had a cutout of him for the photobooth. It was adorable! The pink bridesmaid dresses and incredible florals made for a gorgeous combination.

What a year! Looking back, 2017 was an incredible year and God provided in big ways. Having Payton, continuing to work with amazing couples, learning how to run a small business and be a mom, and fun trips with Kevin. I am also continuing to realize that there is joy to be found in the day-to-day. Slowing down, being present in each moment.

This is always a fun post to share each year! There is a lot that goes on at each wedding to create the images you see. You will see everything from veil throwing, bumblebees flying around, and blocking the sun with a reflector in this post. This year I even shot a wedding with a broken toe! Nothing can stop me from capturing your beautiful day.

People ask me sometimes if I get bored shooting weddings since it is the same event every time. I always tell them that I love it each time and I never get bored! Every couple of ours is different and the celebration of their relationship is unique to them. These two were no exception! Caleb and Jenny tied the knot at Church of the Resurrection and it was a beautiful ceremony. Before they said, "I do" they shared a sweet First Look in the sanctuary.

Whitehall Estate is such a dreamy venue. It was the perfect location for Matt and Kristin to tie the knot! They shared a First Look and we were able to get a few portraits in before the rain started. We were so thankful they did a First Look because it was pouring the rest of the day! Thankfully the indoor ceremony site was just as pretty as the outdoor location.

David & Emily are married!! This wedding was very special because four years ago I shot her sisters wedding at this same farm. And Olde River Farm just happens to be her childhood family home! It was the most beautiful Saturday afternoon; the sun was shining and there was a cool breeze blowing. Their ceremony was on the top of a hill next to the family home and it was beautiful.

What an amazing year it has been! Traveling up north to Cape Cod and also down south to South Carolina, we covered many states in the weddings we shot this year. We also experienced windy weddings, several rainy day weddings, and perfect autumn fall weddings! It was the perfect mix.
