Maggie and Lucas' Northern Virginia Wedding!

It's time for the full blog post of Maggie and Lucas' amazing wedding!  Yay! First off, let me just say how excited I was to work with this couple.  Maggie contacted me a few months ago about their wedding, and she booked me without ever meeting me.  However, I could tell by our emailing what a down-to-earth gal she was, and by the time we met I went straight in for a hug!  She's just the kind of person you feel like you've been friends with your whole life, that's how awesome she is.  Also amazingly, I met Lucas and the rest of the family by chance on a trip to Chipotle!  Lucas actually lives in Connecticut (and Maggie is moving there), but in a purely coincidental moment, Lucas, his family and Maggie's family happened to all travel to Alexandria to hang out about a two months before the big day...and I ran into them!  What can I say, I get hungry after consults sometimes, and I was so excited to meet Lucas and Co., even if it was at a Chipotle!  I knew right then and there that their wedding was going to be an incredible time for me.

The big day was amazing.  It was fairly warm outside for a March day, and Maggie and Lucas were so kind and easy-going on the day of.  Whatever I wanted them to try out, they did.  Even leading right up to the wedding, I dragged Lucas and Maggie to this amazing window for some portraits that I told them would be worth it, and they totally trusted me!  Their wedding party was equally as awesome, cooperating fully and even helping me out with carrying some equipment around!  How awesome is that?!

There's so much I love about this wedding.  I love the colors of pink, grey, black and white.  I love the details, including a handkerchief that Maggie's mom made for her on the day of her wedding.  But I think most of all I just love this couple.  The energy that their wedding had was something special, and it really resonated with me.  Maybe that's why I'm blogging so many of their images!  :D  I think you'll see what I mean though when you scroll through.

Maggie and Lucas, thank you so much for including me in your wedding day!  I was honored to be a part of it, and I hope you love the photos!

Maggie and Lucas' Northern Virginia Wedding - Sneak Peeks!

This past Saturday I had the joy of photographing two very awesome people: Maggie and Lucas!  Their wedding ceremony was at McLean Presbyterian Church in McLean, Virginia, and their ceremony was at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia.  These two sneak peek shots were both taken at McLean Presbyterian, and I'm super excited about them.  I almost passed up the opportunity to work with this window, and both of these shots were taken in that same window at different times of the day.  I was really pleased with the results!  I hope you like them!

Thanks for looking!

Love,

Lisa
