Sneak Peeks!

If there's one thing I love, it's photographing gorgeous weddings in a wide variety of locations.  From beaches and farms to museums and ballrooms to vineyards and stadiums, it never ceases to amaze and delight me at the different venues in which each of my couples selects to celebrate their day.  As I sit here realizing just how quickly the year is flying by, I want to say a huge thank you to all of my wonderful clients!  And of course, here are some recent weddings to check out:

Jennifer & Shea's beautiful celebration at River Plantation complete with the best sunset I've seen in years!

Brittany & Jeremy's stunningly elegant DC wedding at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.

Megan & Matt's sunny and intimate beach wedding at Broomes Island.

 And lastly, Jenn & Brent's playful baseball-themed (!) wedding at Camden Yards.

More Summer Sneak Peeks!

I'm so excited with the sneak peek images I have to share with you from the last few weeks!  One of my favorite things is how different each of these weddings has been.  I love the variety and how each of these couples made their events so completely them.

Tanya & TJ's chic wedding at Holy Trinity in Georgetown and the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria.

Tasha & Matt's glam (and yes, rainy) day at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.

Leah & Aidan | Brookside Gardens | MD wedding photography

Ceremony & Reception: Brookside Gardens
Flowers: Elegance & Simplicity
Catering: Michelle with Main Event
Calligraphy: Meant to be Calligraphy
Videography: Liz with Dolce Studio
Planner: Tara with Elegance & Simplicity

You've already gotten a little taste of Leah & Aidan's wedding with some of their photobooth images, but I figured it was about time that you got to see the rest of their gorgeous day! I had so much fun with these two out at Brookside Gardens (one of my favorite venues!). The day ended way too soon for this photographer...yes, even after nine hours of shooting! There were just so many things about their wedding that simply rocked. Let's start with Leah's dress, which almost deserves an entire blog post to itself...








Love the calligraphy that was used throughout!







Even though the plants and flowers limited our angles, they certainly made for a stunning location!



Love this!

Check out the beautiful flowers!



I think this could be my favorite from the day...hmmm...






The table assignments were various travel locations that Leah and Aidan have been to...









Aidan's brothers were hysterical. I can't even begin to describe how much fun this was!








And a good one to end on.
