Laurie + David : Lansdowne Resort Wedding

To think I stopped posting on our blog right before I shared one of my wedding favorite weekends…shame on me!! So to put me back on track and the blog I’ll start with Laurie and David who were a pleasure to photograph. They were married at the St Robert Bellarmine Chapel with a fabulous detailed full reception at Lansdowne Resort. It was wonderful to see these two enjoying their wedding day. Don’t get me wrong I’m not couples don’t enjoy their day but Laurie really, really enjoyed it!! She enjoyed it so much you couldn’t help but to smile and be a part of her happiness. Now I don’t want to leave out David but I just don’t think he could compare to her excitement but you could tell he was enjoying it with her. This wedding had it all, a Muppet song (somone’s getting married), amazing details from Laurie, family oh such amazing family ;), friends and tradition (love a tea ceremony) and it was nothing but a honor to be there! Below are a few of the highlights, enjoy!

Giselle and Bill : wedding at Springfield Golf and Country Club

Giselle and Bill were married at the Church of the Nativity with their reception following at Springfield Gof and Country Club.  They are actually friends with one of our previous couples Mary and Max and we were super excited to be documenting their wedding too.  Luckily for them Virginia isn’t known for having blizzards in September so they didn’t have the same weather results.  I loved getting to know these two better and I was excited to see them celebrating their day together.  We had a blast exploring Burke Lake during formals and documenting the party that followed on the dance floor that night.  Congrats you guys are perfect for each other!





















We headed off to Burke Lake for some fun!

Courtney + Dana : married Whitehall Manor Wedding

Courtney and Dana had a great laid back wedding at Whitehall Manor. We so loved this one and had been looking forward to their wedding since we first meet. They just walked out during their guests cocktail hour and got married. There wasn’t a bridal party nor did they have the traditional ceremony. It’s such a nice touch when a friend performs the ceremony. Courtney had a few DIY elements and the guests enjoyed the candy buffet and scratch off lotto tickets. While technically they didn’t have a first dance they did join their guests and danced throughout the night. It was perfect and a great celebration which really matched their personalities! Below are a few of our favorites:

Stephanie + Adam : Gadsby’s Tavern Wedding

Stephanie and Adam’s wedding at the Gadsby’s Tavern in Old Town was perfect! When we talked about their wedding plans they spoke about how their wedding was going to be a party for their guests and family and how important it was for everyone to have a good time. I so know they achieved it.  Adam’s not a dancer which I can totally respect but he did break bad at least once on the dance floor. Stephanie and her girlfriends had me in tears more than once. While I love emotion I hate getting caught crying. It may have been a normal cold day for January in the DC area but these two braved the elements and we even had fun with the spiral lighting at night. While I did say it was perfect I do have to admit it ended too soon. Congrats you two, we wish you a lifetime of happiness and love!
