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!  ;)

Jacqueline and Chris' Northern Virginia Wedding - Part One!

Last week you got a chance to view the  sneak peek from Jacqueline and Chris' wedding, and here are the official part one photos to their wedding!  Jaqueline, Chris and company started out the day at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens for the couples first look, which was nothing short of adorable!  I know both Jacqueline and Chris were nervous leading up to that moment, but all of that totally melted away once they saw one another!  You can see it in the photos!  :) After the first look, we hightailed it over to McLean Presbyterian Church to take some more photos before the start of the ceremony.  I was pretty pleased with the level of sass that the groomsmen and bridal party portrayed in their shots!  It's hard to pick a winner, but I think the guys might have a slight edge over the girls.  Eh?  Maybe?  ;)  I also loved the detail shots I was able to get of the girls shoes (Jacqueline loooooves red shoes), flowers (by Flowers & Plants, Etc.) along with Jacqueline and Chris' beyond gorgeous rings!  The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and my heart melted when Jacqueline and Chris had their first kiss as a married couple.  Seriously, it's the most classy first kiss I have ever seen!

Following the ceremony, we went back to Meadowlark (the reception site) and finished up the rest of the formals on site with Jacqueline, Chris and the wedding party.  I loved the energy everyone brought to the photos, particularly for the men jumping and the girls twirling shots!  The twirling shot was a result of the girls having really great dresses, but also because I had Chris twirl Jacqueline in an engagement shot too, so the consistency there was really nice!  I had to end with a shot that I already had in the sneak peeks, just because it's one of my fav's!

Enjoy the photos below, and stay tuned for the final part two coming your way soon!
