Lauren & Bryan - Westwood Country Club, Vienna

Ceremony: Vienna Presbyterian Church
Reception: Westwood Country Club

With the forecast predicting thunderstorms all week (and weekend) long, I know we were all getting worried that Lauren and Bryan's wedding day would be filled with puddles and umbrellas. But it turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous May day! It's a good thing the weather forecasts in the DC area are always wrong! And with plenty of extra time built into their schedule for photos (thanks you two!), I had so much fun taking advantage of the beautiful weather and bright spring day. Both their church and the Westwood Country Club were amazing locations for photographs. Here are some of my favorites from their day...


Gorgeous.


Bryan sent Lauren a rose and a card before the ceremony. I love how she goes about reading his note (and tearing up), while her dutiful bridesmaids never stop getting her ready.


The men's shoes were so much fun, they needed a shot of their own.

Both Lauren and Bryan were fighting back tears as she walked down the aisle toward him.






Their church still has the original historic chapel connected to it. It was too small for the ceremony, but perfect for some photographs!

And a cool train just down the street!









Lauren's sister gave a beautiful and touching toast to her sister and new brother-in-law.


One of my favorite things about weddings are all the fantastic and personal details. Lauren and Bryan displayed photos of their grandparents and parents on each of their wedding days. I love it!
