Austin + Andrew's wedding - September 29, 2012 - Morven Park, Leesburg, Virginia

Austin and Andrew picked a glorious fall day to celebrate their wedding. They also made full use of the whole day. It was my longest wedding day to date but it all went off without a hitch. There was a touch of fall in the air as they made their way to the church for their 11 am ceremony. I loved the pops of color from the sunflower bouquets and all the cute kids in the wedding just made for really fun photos all day long. We got a little break for lunch in Leesburg then headed to the reception site at Morven Park for portraits. I had such a blast with the lovely light and the adorable couple and a vintage Rolls…it was really fun to have time to try out a few locations on the grounds. Morven Park is a lesser known place but completely charming with it’s historic house and gardens and rolling hills. Not to mention a Civil War encampment! And I just loved the shot of Austin climbing the ladder on the side of the carriage house. All her idea…and there were thorns on those bushes! The tented reception was a great party…lots of dancing to keep folks warm, ending with a lovely sparkler send off.
