So much more to come!

With the the busiest time of year in full swing, I have been letting the blog fall a bit behind in order to keep up with all the editing, album design, and orders flooding in this time of year. But don't feel cheated! There are some too-good-to-be-true weddings coming up just as soon as possible:

Kim & Mike's elegant day at Dahlgren Chapel and the Hotel Monaco in Alexandria.

Alex & David's beautiful Fall wedding at Algonkian Park (with potraits at the Manassas Battlefield!)

Kelly & Adam's intimate ceremony right on the water in Old Town Alexandria.

And finally, Jessica & Steve's colorful waterfront celebration in Fell's Point, Baltimore.

Arielle & Doug - Alexandria, VA

Ceremony and reception: George Washington Masonic Memorial

Flowers: Petal's Edge

Arielle and Doug were such an amazing couple to work with on so many levels. They scheduled in a lot of time for photography (every photographer's dream!) and were up for anything! As if that wasn't enough to make my day, Arielle's smiles were absolutely contagious and it was so easy to see how much she and Doug care for one another. We started off in Old Town Alexandria at the Hotel Monaco, where the bride and groom got ready and then headed out for some fun shots around Old Town. I had such a fabulous time with them (not to mention their great bridal party and fun families), that the night seemed to fly by in the click of a shutter. Congratulations to you both and thank you for having me there to capture your day!

The sun streaming in through the lace on Arielle's dress absolutely captivated me.

It was so much fun to see how excited Doug's mom was during the ceremony!

As a special treat, the newleyweds were invited up to see the view of Alexandria from the top of the Memorial. So cool!

The GW Memorial had this great theatre that I just had to pull them into for a few romantic shots.
