It was nice for once to not worry about the weather on a wedding Saturday. June 11 was very sunny and hot but Katie and Tim’s wedding was all inside so we didn’t have to deal with that variable. Katie got ready for the wedding at her parent’s house. I was thrilled to take advantage of their center staircase and nice big windows to make photos that were looked like home and were pretty too. I particularly liked the shots there of everyone getting Katie into her dress (and the expression on her face!), her dress reflected in the mirror and Katie coming down the stairs as Dad walks underneath. Off to St. John Neumann Church in Reston for a lovely Catholic ceremony followed by the reception at Westfields. I was honored again to have Ricky Carioti working as my second photographer and we had fun shooting portraits of the happy couple around the hotel. The highlight of the reception for me was the toast that Katie’s sister made as the Matron of Honor. Tears were flowing and it was just so touching to see how close the two were and how happy her sister was for her!
