Yesterday I got to photograph Mark, Sarah, CJ and little Melanie. It was great hanging out with them, we used to be neighbors and Joey went to highschool with Mark. It had been over a year since we last saw them and I couldn’t believe how big the kids were, they are so adorable!
We started at the house with the tree….
then headed to the grandparents house to play in their backyard, which is AMAZING!
Pete worked very hard to get that ball out of the lake

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!!
I am very excited to announce my new bludomain website. Bludomain offers amazing sites for photographers and I really love how it turned out. Go check it out!!
I’d been looking forward to Chris and Les’s wedding since I met them earlier this year via Pernell and Karen from Blue Square Productions (they shot my wedding video which is amazing so I couldn’t wait to work with them!). I had such a good time doing their engagement session and I knew their wedding day wouldn’t be any different. They are both so beautiful, inside and out!
Myrna from For All Occasions helped keep everything running smoothly. The reception was at Fox Chase Manor in Manassas which is such a gorgeous location, I love shooting there!
I am posting quite a few images due to the fact that the wedding season is practically over this year and I am trying to stave off withdrawal. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

I shot Melissa and Matt’s engagements back in the Spring and have been looking forward to their wedding ever since. Melissa spent the early afternoon getting ready at the hotel then headed to Fairfax Presbyterian for the ceremony. The reception was at Old Town Hall in Fairfax which is such a great venue. Laura from Soiree Special Events handled the coordinating and did a fantastic job. Check out her blog for more detail shots!
