Last May, there was an absolutely perfect day for an Alexandria, Virginia wedding that I photographed. Ann and Barry planned a beautiful day from their ceremony at Good Shepherd Catholic Church. On this occasion, they had a priest that knew them for a long time. Being that, their ceremony was much more personal and made a real connection with the couple and their family.

Relaxing Afternoon

Following the ceremony, all of their family and friends went over to Woodlawn Plantation for an evening of lawn games, photos, and an early evening reception. At the front of the historic mansion, the guests had plenty of time to relax and visit. Also, tours of the historic home were also available. Indeed, Ann and Barry spaced out the time nicely for the rest of their day. We had plenty of time for them to relax after the high stress ceremony. Then, we started back to the serious job of photography!

Wedding Reception

A tent setup next to the mansion was the location for the dinner and reception. On this occasion, the weather was key in keeping everyone comfortable all evening. Consequently, the dance floor was full, and the happy photos of Ann and Barry continued all evening.

Thanks to Ann and Barry for having me and Nikolai cover their wedding! Without a doubt, they thoroughly planned their wedding to be relaxing for their schedule. Additionally, they had activities for their guests to mingle and taste the historic setting for the day.

Catherine and Bill – Virginia Wedding Photographer

It has been a very busy summer – so many photo project to catch up on the blog! I will be working to get through them as soon as I can. Today I have a beautiful northern Virginia wedding. Catherine and Bill had an amazing ceremony day with many family and friends attending. Her brother was the celebrant of the Mass which added to the special details of the day.

From the arrival of the bride and groom, they were both so excited to be reciting their vows at the church. After the ceremony, their family gathered at the Old Town Hall in Fairfax for some cool drinks and an energetic reception. This helped them show off their new moves during their first dance. The DJ had a great setup – I wanted to dance! When dinner was ready, the party was moved downstairs where the joining families had a chance to go around and meet each other.

I heard Bill say that he looks forward to the many get-togethers they will be having over the next 50 years! As the sun went down and the temperature cooled, we went out for some fun photos by the colorful fountain just outside. I promised not to keep them away from the dance floor for too long! Thanks to Mario Brathwaite for helping to cover this awesome wedding with me. Congrats to the bride and groom!

June Saturdays

It’s just that time of year. For wedding photographers especially, their Saturdays are full in the middle of their busy season! There is nothing like have a wedding in June. I have photographed and assisted in photographing several weddings in the DC Area. At this time, the city landmarks will be dotted with brides and grooms. While they are out a photographer is directing them to pose, and look. The photographer is attempting to make some nice photos while trying to minimize the tourists in the background. Given that this is such a photogenic city they have made a great choice of location!

Wedding Photography

It is nice to be part of their big day, and a responsibility that I took for granted before being the person behind the camera. These are the photos that are looked at by multiple generations. In that case, these photos are the first family heirloom. Additionally, these are the items that are sought after when natural disasters take other material possessions. They will survive long after the flowers and cake. These thoughts keep me sharp throughout the day, and humble me every time someone asks me to photograph their wedding.
