Lindsey and Daniel's Ceresville Mansion Wedding - Part Two!

If you missed Lindsey and Daniel's getting ready and ceremony photos from part one, go here!  However, if you're ready for some amazing reception photos full of a lot of laughter and fun, keep reading! As you may remember, Lindsey and Daniel had their entire wedding at Ceresville Mansion, so after the ceremony we headed indoors for dinner, dancing and festivities!  DJ Angie D kept us on track with everything, and really kept everyone engaged in the nights events.  DJ Angie D also came out on the dance floor to show guests moves to the songs if they didn't already know them, which was awesome!

I really love all the shots of the dancing from the evening.  It's hard to narrow down favorites, but I do love the portraits I was able to take of Lindsey and Daniel throughout the night, when we could catch a bit of a break!  The first few photos I thought were very Mad Men like, and if you know me well, you know I love Mad Men!  Lindsey and Daniel couldn't take a bad photo in my mind.  They were the perfect couple to work with!

Many thanks to Lindsey and Daniel for choosing me to be part of their special day!  Thanks to my assistant for the day, Asha, for all the help and encouragement...and also many thanks to family and friends I got to see at the wedding (some new, some old!)...you know who you are and you made the night even better!  :)

Thanks for looking!

Love,

Lindsey and Daniel's Cereseville Mansion Wedding - Part One!

I'm back to feature part one of Lindsey and Daniel's gorgeous Ceresville Mansion wedding!  If you missed their sneak peek from last week, take a look here! Ceresville Mansion was an amazing backdrop for what Lindsey and Daniel had in mind for their big day.  As you can see from the photos below, they went with a red/green/white theme, combined with a lot of natural elements like trees for their table decorations.  And the outdoor ceremony itself fit right in with that really natural, yet sophisticated look they were going for!  Lindsey looked absolutely stunning in her gown, and I particularly loved her purple heels she chose as her wedding shoes!  Combine her with Daniel in his dashing Army uniform, and you have one gorgeous bride and groom!

The setting was just stunning, and it was really hard to narrow down photos!  They are all beautiful, and everyone was so easy to work with to get the photos done quickly!  I do love the hilarious shots of the bridal and groomsmen parties though...particularly the one of the groomsmen watching some sporting event on a mobile device.  It's good to know that a wedding can't distract them from what's really important...a game!  Ha ha ha!  Enjoy the photos below, and stay tuned for their reception photos in part two!

Christiane and Richard's Washington, DC Wedding - Part Two!

It's time for Christiane and Richard's wedding formals!   These are some of my absolute favorite formals I've done in a while.  I had a great wedding party to work with, along with the beautiful, historic setting of downtown DC.   The church was Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church, and provided a gorgeous white marble backdrop, complete with several steps and giant columns.   We had quite a few formals outside, and alternatively had some inside as well.  After our church photos we decided to brave the DC traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue and attempt some photos in front of the Capital!  We were a good distance away, but were able to find the perfect spot in the median between moving traffic.  It was amazing! I can't emphasize enough how awesome Christiane, Richard and their wedding party were.  They really went all out to help make these photos as beautiful as they are, so many kudos go out to them!  The photos in front of the Capital are certainly my favorite, which you will see at the very end.  I hope you enjoy all of these (and there are a lot) as much as I do! c&r_formals_1

Christiane and Richard's Washington, DC Wedding - Part One!

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Christiane and Richard's wedding in Washington, DC.  I absolutely loved photographing them, because they (and their wedding party) were an endless supply of faces!   I got sincere faces, crying faces, silly faces and even some sassy faces!   However, no matter what the face or pose, everyone looked gorgeous and I could not have asked for a better wedding. You're going to see a few faces in the next few photos, but not as many as the upcoming posts!  These are the getting ready photos and details from their big day.   I hope you enjoy!
