nighttime wedding photography
I have to write a huge post for Briean and Casey following this one, as there are so many great things to say about them and great photos to share. But, for now, here's a sneak peek of one of my favorite images from the day. Hurricane Irene looks beautiful on the window, no? ;) (This was originally supposed to be a fireworks shot, you know...before the hurricane came through. I'm pretty sure I love it more than fireworks!)
Thanks for looking!

I can't believe Brandy and Michael's wedding is actually over! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was sitting down with the two of them to discuss what they wanted out of their wedding photos (over gluten-free snacks, of course, because Brandy and I share the same sensitivity!). It was in the fall that I took their engagement photos at Sunset Hills Vineyard, and now their summer DIY wedding in Connecticut is all over! But the good news is...there are photos! ;) When I met with Brandy she stressed to me that she absolutely loved the little details involved with weddings. So when I arrived at their wedding site I knew I would see her amazing DIY details everywhere! She made signs for almost everything, from the directional signs of where their wedding was, to the table assignments, to the little place cards on the tables. The colors were so tasteful and natural, with lots of punchy greens accompanied by lovely muted creams and browns. Brandy isn't a fan of colorful floral arrangements, so she went with potted herbs on the dining tables, with little sprigs of rosemary tucked in to everyones menus! She even bypassed flowers to hold during the wedding and opted for gorgeous clutches for she and her bridesmaids. Not to mention she purchased an amazing boutonniere for Michael made of burlap, feathers and twine! Swoon!
Brandy and Michael are the epitome of amazing clients. They were an absolute joy to work with and photograph, and I hope this isn't the last time I see them! :) Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day, and enjoy the photos!
P.S. Have to give a huge shout out to Alison and her team at AMG Catering and Events who were an incredible to work with! Thanks for making my job a lot easier! :D

This past weekend I travelled all the way to Westport, Connecticut for Brandy and Michael's wedding! If you don't remember this awesome duo, you can check out part of their engagement session here. :) It was an amazing location and the weather was just perfect! The Long Island Sound was not too far from the location of the event, so we walked down there a few times for photos. This photo was taken toward the end of the evening (around 10:30 pm), and I just loved how it turned out. Thanks so much to Brandy and Michael for having Mike and I up to photograph their special day! Enjoy!

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!

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!

It was an amazing weekend, and mostly because I got to photograph this incredible couple! You may remember Lindsey and Daniel from their DC engagement session back in the summer. Well, they're back on the blog, and this time they tied the knot in Frederick, Maryland at the incredible Ceresville Mansion! This photograph in particular is my absolute favorite from the evening, so I had to share it straight away. Although I love most of the photos I've seen from their wedding, this one just knocked my socks off (literally...where'd they go? Who knows!). Enjoy this sneak peek, and stay tuned for more shots from their beautiful wedding!
