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,

Jacqueline and Chris' Northern Virginia Wedding - Part Two!

If you missed the gorgeous photos from Jacqueline and Chris' Part One blog post, go check them out here!  However, if you're ready to see some fun reception shots, keep reading!

Jacqueline and Chris held their wedding reception at the gorgeous Meadowlark Botanical Garden Atrium.  The room was beautiful, with lots of windows and lights up everywhere!  I particularly liked the hanging lights near the dance floor that really created this nice pattern of light in the background of some of the shots!  There was never a dull moment in the evening.  The room was full of lots of love and laughter, and it completely showed!  I love the dance photos because so many people got into the moment and really delivered in terms of dance moves!  And I was magnetically attracted to these hilarious 80's glasses that were being passed around the dance floor.  You'll see in the photos below!

A big thank you goes out to Jacqueline and Chris for allowing me to photograph their special day!  I had an amazing time and hope you love all of your photos as much as I do!  :)

In this next shot, Chris got pied in the face by his fraternity buddies.  What a lucky guy!  ;)

Lauren and Ryan’s Very Merry Wedding – Part Two!

As promised to follow up their first blog post, here's Lauren and Ryan again at their awesome reception, held at Amberleaf Events in Gallatin, Tennessee! I had never heard of Amberleaf Events (even being a Hendersonville native), and I have to say I was very impressed with the space! I loved the lighting they used on the walls and that there were two stories to the building. It really lent itself to some great aerial photos of people dancing! My favorite shots of the evening may have been the ring bearer breaking it down on the dance floor, but I also really love one of the final shots I got of Lauren and Ryan at their special send off! Imagine me, running backwards, just firing away as fast as I can trying to get something as all of these petals are being thrown everywhere! It's definitely one of those "I don't know how I got it, but I got it!" shots! Thanks again to Lauren and Ryan for being such an incredible couple to work with! I hope I get to photograph you both again in the new year!

P.S. I forgot to mention my obsession with their cake (of which there are several shots below). Isn't it amazing?! Snowflakes!

Gillian and Dave’s Alexandria, Virginia Wedding - Part Two!

If you missed Gillian & Dave's first blog post, go check it out here, but if not, keep reading for some fun reception photos! Gillian and Dave had their ceremony and reception at River Farm, a venue I had not been to but would love to work at again! Nestled on the Potomac just past Old Town, Alexandria, this place is just so ideal for shots, and I loved all of the reception photos we got to take! Even with a tent in the back courtyard of the house, the photos were still very natural looking and beautiful. I loved the space where the dancing was as well, and not to mention Gillian and Dave appeasing Mike and I for some shots down by the Potomac that night! Their reception was full of love, laughter and dancing, and the crowd even cheered for one more song at the end of the night! Gillian and Dave, it was hard to tear away from your reception, as we could have stayed for many hours after, but we hope you love the photos we got while we were there! Enjoy everyone!

Thanks for looking!

P.S. The catering was done by Occasions Caterers, and I loved meeting Megan, the head of the event! Very impressive staff and spread!

Rachel and Ryan's McLean Virginia Wedding - Part Two!

Alrighty folks, get ready for some party photos! As promised from my Part I blog post, here are the photos from Rachel and Ryan's reception at the Springfield Golf and Country Club! The best part about this reception is that there was absolutely never a dull moment. Everyone was so high energy and so excited to be part of this special occasion, and it really shows in the photos! From the couple's first dance, to the dudes chillin' on the balcony with cigars, to Ryan breakin' it down in his own dance, the emotion was always high! I love that! I hope you feel like you were right there in the celebration with Ryan, Rachel, their family and friends. Enjoy!
