Army Navy Country Club wedding - Arlington, VA

When I first met Alicia + Chris to talk about their Army Navy Country Club wedding in July, it was the beginning of a snow storm in January. We met again at the beginning of a very hot streak of summer on their wedding day. A few minor adjustments into shady spots and the couple were complete troopers braving the heat and a bumpy golf cart ride to make beautiful photos. Their day was filled with sparkle and sophistication and that dress!! The back was just stunning. Their ceremony took place on the rooftop patio overlooking the Washington Monument and thankfully the sun was low enough behind the club to keep the guests cool. One special relationship that I kept my eye on throughout the day was the bride and her dad. From the look on his face when he walked her down the aisle to their spirited father-daughter dance at the reception, it’s clear they have a special bond and that he couldn’t be prouder of his girl. We also managed to pop out on the balcony just after sunset for some portraits against the gorgeous sky. I am always thrilled when I get a good sunset and a couple willing to sneak away from their party for a few minutes. This one, like their whole day, did not disappoint.
