This afternoon Teri, Justin and I braved the threatening clouds to shoot their engagement session. It’s crazy that it looks like fall outside but is acting like summer…..80 degrees with impending thunderstorms? So strange!!! The rain however held off and we had a great time walking around the Centreville area. Enjoy your pics guys!

See you guys in December for the wedding!

What a wedding! Kristina and Jon were married Saturday at the beautiful Shrine of the most Blessed Sacrament in DC. Their reception was held at the always magnificent Mayflower Hotel where everyone danced the night away.
Kristina and Jon are such a loving couple – when listening to the toasts and watching the celebration that ensued it was clear that the love that brought them together was shared by everyone. Enjoy the photos!

Mao and Chris were married on Sunday at the Four Seasons in DC. I felt so honored to be apart of their special day with Chris being a kick butt photog himself…. it was a huge compliment.
Their colors were Tiffany blue and chocolate brown and the lighting at the reception set the scene for a night of non-stop partying! Lesley from LelyCo kept the entire day running smoothly!!
Okay – on to the pics……

Thank you so much for including me in your special day!!!!

Lisa and Chad were married on Saturday at the charming St. Josephs in Old Town Alexandria. I love being a part of such an emotional day in peoples lives. It was so touching to watch them separately before the ceremony and see so clearly how much they love one another. After the ceremony we walked around the town to get some fun shots of the two of them. Their reception was held at the Springfield Country Club……enjoy the pics!
