River Farm Alexandria Wedding Portraits: Jeff + Kun

They wanted to spend a few hours with their closest friends.  Bride, groom, and bridal party portraits for the wedding they wouldn't have.  Not here, anyway.  In just a few short days, Jeff and Kun are headed to Hawaii to exchange their vows in an intimate ceremony.  And since the friends who would have stood at their sides are unable to make the journey, they spent the day together in celebration, and I was honored to document this time for them.

We started at River Farm in Alexandria.  Its gardens are oh-so-beautiful, and the wisteria here was soft and romantic.

We then headed to Old Town Alexandria for a few more photos....

...before we headed to Columbia Firehouse for a late lunch, where everyone was famished from a long day of shooting.

Jeff and Kun, I had a wonderful time getting to know you and your friends, and I wish you all the best as you travel to Hawaii and commit your lives to each other! Pin It

Elkridge Club Wedding: Lindsey + Patrick

Words can't begin to describe how sweet and charming Lindsey and Patrick are.  And not only them, but all of their family and friend as well.  Southern hospitality and charm mingled in the air with love and happiness on their wedding day.  Their black tie affair at the Elkridge Club was nothing short of elegant and fun, and I had an amazing time capturing the day with my dear friend Melissa Manzione!

The dashing groom and groomsmen...

Lindsey's dad is her best friend, and on the morning of her wedding day, she asked him to have one last bagel breakfast with her - a special tradition that meant the world to him.

Their signature drink was an Orange Crush, with an alma mater stirrer, of course!

How completely cute are these two?!

Their favors were mini bottles of Smirnoff Orange, with a recipe for their signature drink written inside the card.  "It all started with a CRUSH!"

Lindsey and Patrick, thank you for letting me be a part of your special day...I hope you had an amazing honeymoon in Bora Bora!!  xoxo... Pin It

Greystone Hall, PA Wedding: Amy + Jeff

Astrid and I had so much fun road-tripping to Pennsylvania for this wedding, complete with overindulging in Cheez Wiz on everything we ate.  Why isn't this melty goodness available at all restaurants in Virginia??  It should be!  This was also the weekend I tried scrapple for the first time.  Let's just say I'm glad I didn't know what it was made of before taking a mouth full.  Okay, on to the wedding....

Jeff was calm, and Amy was bubbling over with excitement, both loving each other in their own ways.  Together, their affections and loving glances were endless.  The Greystone Hall mansion provided a romantic and picturesque location for Amy and Jeff's wedding, and the beautiful weather and light breeze made the day even more perfect.

Belmont Country Club Wedding: Jessica + Andrew

Andrew was nervously quiet as he buttoned his shirt, tied his tie, and fastened his cuff links.  He readied in mostly silence, with his brother joining him to secure his suspenders and straighten his tie.  Jessica was a bundle of energy as she arrived at the church.  As her transportation pulled up and she saw me, she shouted out my name like we were long lost best friends and she was excited to see me.  Her energy was electric and contagious.  

The day was a beautiful celebration of two people completely in love, and I couldn't have been more excited to share it with them.  Thank you to Amanda of Apple Pie Photography for having me along on this beautiful day!
