Justine & Zach | Woodend Sanctuary | MD wedding photography

Ceremony and Reception: Woodend Sanctuary
Flowers: Growing Wild
DJ: Kirk with Kirkabees
Coordinator: Shelley with Project Posh

Wow, what a beautiful wedding Justine and Zach had at Woodend Sanctuary in Chevy Chase! I'm not sure I even have the words to sum up their day. Everything was breathtaking...it's so easy to see why Justine and Zach chose Woodend for their ceremony and reception. I could have kept on photographing there for days! Here are some of my favorite things about Justine and Zach's day:

- Justine in her dress. I mean wow, oh wow! Her gown fit her to perfection and she rocked it.
- The way Zach fought back tears as soon as he saw Justine coming toward him down the aisle. It was so easy to see the depth of their love for one another.
- The deer and rabbits that kept watching us during photos. This isn't a nature sanctuary for nothing!
- And finally, the shoes. Oh yes, the shoes. Justine's Badgley Mischka heels were amazing!

Enjoy some of my favorite images from their day! Congrats to you both!


See what I mean about the shoes?

I've worked with Barbara from Growing Wild before and she always exceeds expectations...the flowers were beautiful!


Okay, I loved the shoes so much, I'm posting another image. Yes, I have an obsession for cute wedding shoes.




What a setting to get married in!











Recessional images are always some of my favorites...I love the reactions!

And as soon as they were away from the crowd, they grabbed another kiss.







Love this place!

The sun was blinding and hot, but these two made it look so good!

And here's our little friend who kept watching us during portraits.








And then it was time to let loose and have some fun!
