Olivia + Don's Airlie wedding - July 2, 2011

It was such a pleasure to work with Olivia and Don throughout the whole wedding process. They showed their excellent taste by hiring me right away after our meeting and proceeded to be easy and comfortable during our engagement shoot at Reston Town Center. So I expected more of the same for their wedding day and I was not disappointed. Considering it was an outdoor wedding in July, the temperature and humidity held to an acceptable level and it was a gorgeous sunny day. They went with a patriotic color scheme for their July 2^nd wedding and the red and blue flowers were a really lovely contrast to all the greenery around the grounds. Their ceremony was held in the garden surrounded by big blue hydrangeas. Airlie is such a pretty site, it really needs very little in the way of decoration. I was excited to be back there—it’s been a few years and it was great to get another shot at those cool steps and stone bridge on the property. One of my favorite shots of the day is Olivia and Don having a kiss in the garden surrounded by wildflowers. I just love his hand at her chin…such a sweet moment.
