Mackinac Island was the first of my two destination weddings this September. I’d heard how beautiful it was but I’m not sure I was totally prepared for the uniqueness of the island and what a great backdrop it would provide for Nicole + Frank’s Labor Day weekend wedding. I arrived a couple days before the wedding […]
It is not an exaggeration to say that Hiba + Matt’s Mandarin Oriental summer wedding in DC was a nonstop day of emotion, laughs and so many surprises! They were determined to give their guests an event they wouldn’t forget. The Mandarin Oriental ballroom was transformed beautifully and guests sat at their tables to watch the ceremony […]
For Rebecca + David’s July wedding at the Gaylord National Harbor, it didn’t matter how hot it was outside. And it was hot–a long string of 90+ degree days had everyone wilting. Inside the hotel with a huge open atrium, massive skylights and white marble floors there was no shortage of window light! It’s always fun for me to be […]
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 […]
Brookside Gardens in Wheaton is a lovely spot for a wedding engagement session. Anytime of year is pretty there but when the roses are blooming in late spring, it is a wonderland. R + D chose the grounds near where they grew up for their wedding engagement session and between the sun and the flowers I […]
Things I love: a gorgeous sunny day, a dapper pair of grooms, a return to Meridian House, and emotional wedding ceremony and a well run event. Boy, did I hit the jackpot with Chris + Scott’s wedding! I knew when I first met the couple in the Nordstrom Cafe at Montgomery Mall many months […]
How adorable were these two? It’s been awhile since I’ve done an elopement that was this much fun. It was a perfect storm of a couple in love willing to let me do my thing, gorgeous light and a couple of hours to play in Georgetown. Brandi and Mike planned well ahead and scheduled their […]
It’s always a good spring when I get to photograph a wedding at Congressional Country Club! It’s such a gorgeous venue and just a few minutes from home. April 30th was a little cooler than usual — although this spring has hardly been the usual in DC and at least it wasn’t raining!! It was also one of the […]
It’s pretty obvious I was a little obsessed with a few things at Sarah + Brenden’s wedding. Where to start? Her dress (amazing and perfect for the setting), her edible bouquet, the couple’s dog Ollie (a perfectly behaved gentleman the whole day long) the flower girl and her brother the ring bearer (adorable). And […]
Becky + Harry were on the hunt for cherry blossoms on their wedding day. Unfortunately due to crazier than usual Washington weather, they’d bloomed and gone so the search was on for a suitable spring-like background for photos. After and first look in the beautiful courtyard of the Fairmont, we headed down to Upper Senate […]
