susan + canon :: northern neck wedding:: destination wedding photographer

a fall wedding in the house and backyard you grew up in.

could it be more perfect?

this is officially the last full wedding blog post i have for the year. and it gives me tingles cause it was truly one of my favorites. and susan + canon are one of my absolute favorites. it reminded me a lot of my own wedding actually (maybe that’s why?). it was a true southern event, every detail planned and articulated with rustic, yet elegant personal touches from susan + canon’s life. i can’t even describe how much i loved this wedding, i’ll have to let the pictures do the talking this time.

susan + canon :: thank you for being so patient waiting for this blog post! hopefully it was well worth the wait :)

enjoy :)

i wanted to get this wedding out before the holiday so that jane + zia could enjoy them with their families! these two got married at National Harbor, and it was a beautiful sunny day on the water. perfect for an outdoor wedding!

jane + zia :: enjoy your preview and have a great Thanksgiving!

melissa + thomas :: a fall wedding

melissa and thomas get what a wedding day is about.

i love it when a couple completely, undoubtedly, and whole-heartedly trusts me. they trust me with this huge honor of somehow capturing the love between two people on the most important day of their lives.

thomas gave me full reign to shoot wherever, and whenever i wanted on their wedding day. that fact alone, shows the kind of people melissa and thomas are. it is their wedding day, and yet they are giving me total control. knowing about the two of them, what their wedding was all about, and what was most important to them, i knew i wanted their images to show what this day meant to them.

i feel that i found it- it was about 5:30 as the sun was going down at Zion Springs Bed & Breakfast. you will see the amazing sunset we got :)

melissa + thomas :: enjoy!

mallory + andrew :: a military wedding!

funfetti cake.

any wedding that includes funfetti cake is amazing in my book.

mallory + andrew were married in october and they are currently getting settled into their new home in Oklahoma! i actually used to work with mallory, and back then we had many talks in our offices over coffee about andrew. it was always the same… a small smile, the excitement in her eyes, as if she always knew he was meant for her.

this wedding was extra special too because not only did mallory officially become a military wife (andrew is in the Army), but they were moving to their new home in Oklahoma right after the wedding. lots of changes happening all at once, but all happy ones of course :)

mallory + andrew :: wish you the best of memories as you settle into your new home and new life together! xo
