St. Francis Hall Wedding | Drew + Taylor | Washington DC wedding photographer

 

It was a pleasure photographing this beautiful couple at St. Francis Hall in Washington DC! These two were high school sweethearts! :) The wedding day was filled with love and joy! His brother was his Best Man, but couldn’t make to the wedding because he was deployed. So a unique thing that they did, was to make a cut out board of him!! hahah so clever right? ;) Also what a beautiful venue to get married in!

Amanda & Jordan’s wedding day in the West Virginia mountains was what dreams are made of & working with them has been a dream as well! From consultation to their wedding day Amanda knew exactly what she wanted and had this calm approach to wedding planning. Maybe because she is an event designer or that she was being distracted by the show “The Bachelorette” (haha we were all so happy to see that we each were avid watchers and predictors of the show. Fun-fact: Jordan has predicted the last 2-3 seasons’ outcomes perfectly), but whatever it was we loved that this beautiful bride kept calm all the way through!

Everything about their wedding was all done by those they love. Their greenhouse like reception venue was built by Amanda’s family, and my God! it is absolutely beautiful there!! They got married inside her childhood church. Her wedding gown was made by her aunt, designs were all done by her and her work colleagues, and so pretty much everything else was made or done by others they love.

Their wedding theme was shades of blue with a touch of gold, and my goodness was this theme perfectly executed! From her bridesmaids dusty blue dresses, to the groomsmen navy blue suits, to the blue & gold accents through out her reception venue.

We honestly can go on forever gushing over how stunning and perfect these two are, or how gorgeous their wedding day was. But our biggest take away from everything, is how in love these two really are and how loved they are by those around them.

Amanda and Jordan we are sure you have heard this a million times, but we will say it again. You two are perfect for each other! it has been such a pleasure being a part of your wedding process & day! We only hope to blessed by more amazing couples like you two! We wish you both nothing but love and laughter throughout your marriage & we pray that God continues to bless and guide you two for the rest of your lives together!

PS. We can’t wait to see if Jordan’s predictions for this years bachelorette was right too! :)

Historic London Town and Gardens Wedding | Annapolis Maryland Photographer| Tyler + Stephanie

Tyler & Stephanie got married on Friday ( May 10th, 2019) at the beautiful Historic London town in Annapolis Maryland. Their day started out promising with sunshine as we photographed Stephanie and Tyler’s getting ready in their quaint AirBnBs. While getting ready Stephanie shared with us how she isn’t trying to think about the weather forecast, mostly because thunderstorms and scattered showers were all in the prediction for Friday’s weather. We all assured her that we prayed, and no matter what, all will go well and her day will be nothing short of perfect. Which, when you look at these photos, you can tell that it was!

Although literally minutes before the ceremony was to start, the thick rain clouds rolled in and it began to pour, Stephanie & Tyler took the rain as showers of blessing and enjoyed their ceremony like the champs they are. Also during their vows Tyler spoke in her language and it was the sweetest thing ever!

Being the blessed people these two are, a few minutes before their ceremony was over, it stopped raining and the most beautiful light to photograph in, is what we were given. We made the most of it as the light remained for us to photograph their family, just married photos, as well as bridal party photos! We can go into all the amazing details of the day, but honestly this blog wouldn’t be enough. So to cut a long story short, Stephanie and Tyler’s day was nothing short of AMAZING and if you weren’t there to witness this vibrant, young, fun-loving, party-thumping, room-shaking, couple’s love, then we are sad to say that you definitely missed out. But hopefully this blog gives you a little insight. haha ;)

From the moment Megan contacted us to photograph her and her Hubby's wedding photos in Strong Mansion Maryland, we were extremely excited! Although we have done shoots like this before, we were so excited because we were just thinking how we havent had one this year. It rained cats and dogs on this gorgeous couple's wedding day, and they unfortunately were unable to get the wedding portraits they wanted with their previous photographer. She explained what exactly she was looking for and was so sweet through out our emails back and forth! We kept counting down the days for this shoot, and almost got discouraged when we checked the weather forecast and saw that it was to rain AGAIN on their session date. . 

We could tell Megan was pretty bummed by this, but we encouraged her to keep hope alive!  We were still about a week and half out so the weather could change, and even if it didnt we can always reschedule. But boy are we glad we waited before we rescheduled, because the weather, sun rays and everything was just PERFECT! We couldnt have asked for a better evening and a better couple to photograph! 

They were high school sweethearts and their schools prom king and queen, been together for 12 years and have been married for a month and few days now, yet they are still over each other like honeymooners! They honestly look like they belong in a fairy tale story book with Strong Mansion as their castle and Sugarloaf Mountain as the kingdom they rule, hahaha! 

We are firm believers in the saying "everything happens for a reason" and cant imagine not meeting these two and taking these images. We are so thankful to the rain that fell on their wedding day, because if it didn't , we wouldn't have met this amazingly sweet and stunning couple! We know we say this for every couple, but truly God has blessed us with amazing couples that make our "job" SO EASY!

We wish a Happily Ever After to our real life Disney Prince & Princess! haha ;) 

 

 

Jimmy + Lauren| Le Meridien Hotel Wedding , Arlington Virginia | Virginia Wedding photographer

You know those people you instantly click with from the beginning, even at times without meeting them face-to-face, you just click and you dont know why, but you just do? That was Lauren and Jimmy. From consultation to their wedding day Lauren literally was the sweetest bride any photographer can ask for. It was one of those situations where we understood each other without having to say much. She told us the plans she had for her wedding and instantly we understood her vision and planned accordingly. The unwavering trust and love that Lauren and Jimmy had in our work and creativity, are honestly what lead to the beautiful images you see in this blog. These two by just being themselves created the most relaxed and sweet atmosphere to be around. They along with their loved ones were so trusting in our directions and made our "job" unfathomably easy and fun!  

Not only are they an absolutely stunning couple, but the sweet and playful love these two have for each other is so evident and shows in their photos. Their entire wedding day took place at the Le Meridian Hotel in Arlington Virginia. Where they got ready in separate suites, followed by an elegant ceremony on the hotel's rooftop pavilion, then partied the night away with a classy reception turn-up. The night was later concluded as Jimmy and Lauren ended their day with a timeless sparkler exit.  Their wedding day embodied the definition of elegance, classy, and timeless! :) 

What better way to wait for your bride and her girls while they get ready,&nbsp;than to play a quick game of air football. Hahaha! It was too funny to watch.&nbsp;
