Lauren + Tom : married Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding

We had a great day with Lauren and Tom.  First of all no one could have asked for a better sunset that cleared away the summer haze and provide us a perfect backdrop for an outdoor wedding at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club.  These two sweethearts have a love for each other that is only matched by the love of their family and friends.  We truly enjoyed being a part of their day, to be surrounded by their guests and as the night fell Ken from Absolute Entertainment kept the dance floor packed.  We so love their mash ups!  Below are a few highlights, congrats you two!

Caitlin + Jason : married Black Horse Inn

What a beautiful backdrop The Black Horse Innn is for a wedding.  Caitlin and Jason had adventures for their wedding day that started with Chris going to the shooting range and for my coverage to begin with the girls at the Salon Emage.  As I think about their day and the wedding pictures I think the end shots on the dance floor show how many friends these two have acquired throughout their time of dating.  It was a great celebration and we really enjoyed being there to document it.

Darya + James : Married Tregaron Wedding

Darya and James’ wedding was one to remember.  I don’t think I’ve ever had the pleasure to be around so many people that knew how to ballroom dance!  It was a sight to be seen and a bonus as this is one of our favorite DC locations the Tregaron.  We were so excited to see the garden remodeling was completed and such a beautiful ceremony setting with the National Cathedral in the background. We even made a pit stop to do a few formals before the wedding there.

Darya’s Dad gave probably the best father speech ever!  I don’t think there was a dry eye but it wasn’t from tears he had everyone in stitches.  Perfect day for a perfect wedding, congrats to both of your it was truly a pleasure!

Melissa + Brian : Occoquan Engagement

I can’t wait for Melissa and Brian’s wedding next year.  We had a great time hanging out plus we got to hang with their pup Apache.  I won’t lie I’d steal him so he could play with my boxer but he’s pretty fond of these two.  We all explored around Occoquan with a stop into Quinns where Brian got Melissa’s stunning ring.  Below are a few from their session:
