Liz & Michael's Georgetown University Wedding

This wedding was classic, elegant, and polished. The details were perfect, and there were so many special, organic moments to capture. These two met at Georgetown University and were married in the church on campus, which helped make the day extra sentimental. 

Planner: Kim Newton Weddings, Flowers: Blossom + Vine, Invitations: Smitten on Paper, Ceremony: Dahlgren Chapel,  Reception: Carnegie Institute of Science

Stephanie and Matt's Charlottesville Engagement

These two both went to the University of Virgina for grad school, and the rest is history. I loved shooting their engagements at their alma mater. They were able to show me their favorite spots, and the best hidden gardens! After UVA we headed to Carter Mountain Orchard for some scenic shots. So excited for their wedding in few weeks!

Lauren & Alec's Equestrian Center Wedding

I can't say enough good things about these two. Quite possibly the most laid back couple ever (even after Lauren's horse sneezed on her dress before the ceremony), who were also willing to participate in all of my photo ideas. This wedding was extra special because Lauren is the manager at the Randolph Equestrian Center, their venue, and knows all of the many horses by name. The entire wedding from getting ready to reception was at the center, and it couldn't have been a more beautiful backdrop. Congrats Lauren & Alec! 

Planner: Garden Rose Events & Design  Florals: Flowers by Gloriosa   Donuts & Donut Wall: Route 8 Donuts   Cake: Cake View   Venue: Randolph Riding Center

(Ps: The bride is wearing a sentimental bracelet on her wrist... not a hair tie!)
