Ok… full disclosure: I had the hardest time coming up with the words for this blog post! I also totally edited & blogged this session through teary eyes. Anna and Darian are two of my sweet friends from college, and y’all…. THEY’RE GETTING MARRIED! (And I am obviously WAY too emotional about it all!) If you’ve spent any time around here, you may be familiar with my fellow photog friend, Savannah of Savannah Smith Photography! I met Anna & Savannah around the same time and we all became pretty close, so it was only natural that we decided to join forces to photograph A&D’s wedding!

Let me tell y’all about Carolina & Brandon…. When we got out of our cars in Old Town Alexandria, I felt like I was meeting up with two old friends! These two are the warmest, most genuine people and just make you feel GOOD when you are in their presence! Carolina greeted me with gluten free/dairy free blueberry muffins (that were absolutely amazing) and the sweetest little succulent that I’ve ever seen… what?! How did I get so lucky?? They’re the kind of people that think of others first and that know how to hold each other just right. We spent their session plotting ways to steal every dog that passed by while touring Old Town on foot, which let me know that they’re my kind of people.

I can’t help but to get emotional when someone invites me to be part of their wedding day… It is truly an honor to walk alongside my couples during one of the most memorable days of their life, and is something I take on with so much joy and excitement. Now… I usually tear up during most wedding days, but I found myself misty-eyed behind the camera a little more than usual during this one!

These two… I just can’t, y’all! I had so much fun with Francis and Daniel. A little bit of a back story… these two absolutely LOVE flowers, so much so that Francis’s engagement ring is custom designed to look like a FLOWER (It is gorgeous, just wait ’til you see it!). So naturally, a cherry blossom […]

As a photographer, I often find myself wishing that I could control the weather! This specific morning, I found myself wishing I could crank up the heat for these two, even by a few degrees. If I am remembering correctly, the thermometer was reading 12 degrees, the real feel was -2, and the wind was […]

These two! Y’all, I have had some good stuff burning a hole in my hard drive, and I have finally had a moment to get them packaged together into blog posts. I had a few weeks with back to back to back engagement sessions, and let me tell you, it made me SO excited for […]
