Published Work of Lisa Boggs Photography!

This year has been a great year for Lisa Boggs Photography in terms of being published on a few different sites!  One site that's near and dear to my heart is, of course, United with Love, which is a DC-Area blog launched in 2010 (and it has been amazingly successful with DC brides-to-be!).  They were so kind to feature me last year here and here, and included me this year in a feature series they did on DC-Area wedding photographers (aka, Photography Week)!  Every bride still on the hunt for a photographer should read that whole series! UWL is a great resource for all brides-to-be, so definitely check it out if you're looking for vendors!  Anywho, here's a screen shot below from where they quoted me (click for full post):

Next up is an even newer blog to the DC-Area called Bayside Bride!  They're  an Annapolis and Chesapeake Bay Area dedicated blog that love to post everything nautical!  So when I submitted my sailboat-themed engagement session with Briean and Casey, they jumped on it!  Here's the screen capture (click for full post):

And lastly, national blog Elizabeth Anne Designs just featured Brooke and Aaron's vintage book-themed wedding on their site, which was incredibly awesome!  Many thanks to Ami for the feature and to A Sweet Soiree for the amazing planning of that wedding (which made it gorgeously publishable!).  Here's the screen capture (click for full post):

Many thanks to all of my clients and vendors who have all had a hand in these publishing opportunities.  It would not have been possible without you!  Of course, the year isn't over with yet and I'm excited for some other publishing opportunities that appear on the horizon for Lisa Boggs Photography!  So definitely check back to see what we're up to!

Thanks for looking!

Love,

Brooke and Aaron's Arlington, Virginia Wedding at The Hendry House

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I'm back to blog on Brooke and Aaron's wedding the gorgeous Hendry House in Arlington, Virginia!  I had a little sneak peek here, but it definitely does no justice to the entirety of their wedding!  Brooke and Aaron not only had some of the prettiest DIY details I've seen in a while, but they also had two ceremonies at their traditional Jewish wedding.  It was delightfully jam-packed with gorgeous photo opportunities, of which I reeeeeeeeally took advantage of.  I'm sure you'll be able to tell, with the crazy abundance of photos below! To start our day, we went outside for Brooke and Aaron's first look, of which was amazing.  I haven't had a bride cry yet during the first look, and I almost cried myself when Brooke started crying!  It was just too sweet!  Aaron was quick with a handkerchief  though to take care of his sweet bride.  :)  After first-look and group photos we headed inside for Brooke and Aaron's Ketubah signing.  It's the first major part of a traditional Jewish wedding, and only close friends and family attend while the witnesses, bride, groom and rabbi sign the marriage contract.  The wedding is not complete though until the next ceremony under the Chuppah!  This part of the wedding is widely known for the seven circles, the ring ceremony (in which the couple places the ring on the index fingers), and the breaking of the glass (one of my favorite parts!).  There's a huge list with everything else that goes on in a traditional Jewish wedding, so go here to check it out!

After the wedding was complete, we headed off to the gorgeous reception tent on another part of the Hendry House property!  This tent was decked out with amaaaaaazing DIY details, and all those details revolved around a book theme that Brooke and Aaron wanted to incorporate.  They had books on the table, bookmark wedding favors, and (my personal favorite) library cards as seating cards for the guests.  They even had a mini card catalog to hold all of the library cards!  Eeek!  So stinkin' cute!  The reception as a whole was just amazing, and I can't begin to describe how exciting it was to be there!  :)

Thank you so much to Brooke, Aaron and their family and friends for letting me be a part of their special day!  Also, many thanks to Courtney and her assistant Janice of A Sweet Soiree for their amazing planning skills, and to Dan Goldman for his awesome DJ skills (and more vendors below!).  Enjoy!

Brooke and Aaron's Hendry House Wedding - Sneak Peek!

This past weekend was incredible, and one of those reasons was because I got to photograph Brooke and Aaron's wedding!  Held at the Hendry House, these two were married in traditional Jewish fashion under a chuppah among 130 friends and family.  One of my ideas toward the end of the evening was to get the couple back under the chuppah for some creative night portraits.  And it just so happened to be a little breezy, so it added a little drama to the photo which I just love!  I hope you like this sneak peek, and I can't wait to share more from Brooke and Aaron's big day!  Enjoy! And many thanks to Janice for her help with assisting on this shot!  Thanks for looking!

Love,

Lisa
