This is a very special group of girls!  A group of great friends.  The kind of friendship that everyone wishes they had!  I have worked with almost all of them on an individual basis–and they are all fantastic, beautiful women!

 Three generations:

Love this shot of the bride with her dad:

And, LOVE this one of the bride with her mom.  So special!

This past weekend I had the priviledge to shoot a fantastic wedding in Manteo, NC for Beth and Wes.  It was a beautiful and classically elegant event.  I was honored to be a part of it.

It’s always hard with wedding because there is so much territory to cover.  So I’ve decided to do this in 3 parts–first, pre wedding details: 

Aren’t the bride’s shoes AMAZING!!!  LOVE them!

 The gorgeous dresses:

 Beautiful bouquets:

 I want to add that the mother of the bride did the bouquets.  She is fantastic with flowers and has an amazing eye! 

 A cool ring shot.  Starfish were a key element of the wedding.

 All the fun make up goodies…yum!!

A very cool grandma getting her make up done too.  This family is full of gorgeous women!

Btw, if you are looking for a WONDERFUL make up artist, Kelly is fantastic!  She does beautiful work and is a joy to work with!  I could reccomend her enough!

A sweet card from the groom to the bride:

 Getting dressed:

A very sweet moment between the bride and her parents.  LOVE this!  I want to add that this family was a joy to work with.  They are the kindest, sweetest people–and they ALWAYS have a smile on their faces!

 Beth made a gorgeous bride:

 And, of course, Wes, made a very handsome groom! 

Stay tuned for part two!  Have a super day!

As I’ve been editing this wedding, I am finding more faves…and I thought I would post a few more to satisfy the bride and grooms curiosity!!

On the way to Collingwood…

Such a nice pic of the groom with his parents!

LOVE this shot–really love the father’s hand reaching to help his little girl.

These two have been friends for a loooong time and she also happens to be another one of my favorite clients!!

So sweet…

Love this shot…

Beginning the party…

I love getting a shot of the grooms hand with his new, shiny wedding ring on…love a monogamous man!!

Simply stunning…

And I have to “end” with this one–just couldn’t pass it up!

Kelly and Jeff, hope you enjoyed your second little sneak peek and that married life is treating you well.

This was such a wonderful couple to work with–I was truly blessed to be a part of this beautiful wedding!  Where to begin…I’ll give you fair warning that this is a looooong post–I have way too many beautiful shots to choose from and these below are truly just the icing on the cake!  This wedding took place a the historic and incredibly beautiful Collingswood Library and Museum located in Alexandria, VA.  All “getting ready” photos were taken at the Hotel Monaco also located in Alexandria, Va.  The beautiful flowers were handled by Pat’s Floral Designs located in Madison, VA and the delicious catering by Avenue Events in Alexandria as well.  I also want to give a shout out to my wonderful second shooter Lorena Perez–thanks so much girl–you are wonderul!  And of coarse my husband err..um..technology coordinator George for all of his help–thanks baby!

Love this shot of the rings–so summery and fun!

And one more just for Kelly and her dad.

Kelly and Jeff, I can’t express how much I’ve enjoyed getting to know y’all!  You are a wonderful couple, and I wish you a life full of happiness together!  I am truly honored that you asked me to help capture such an important time in your lives! 

Yes, I got to photograph another beautiful bride!  Not only is she adorable, but as sweet as can be as well!  She has such a fresh look–love it!

She brought along these hot red heels–and they couldn’t bee more perfect!

She is such a classic beauty!  Love her eye color.

Stunning…

Sooo pretty!  Her mom made the bouquet with flowers from their garden–didn’t she do an amazing job!!

This is one of my faves–I am in love with sun flare! 

Hope everyone is enjoying this CRAZY weather!!  I sure am not!  I am sooo ready for warm, sunny days and no more rain!!!  I hear this weekend is supposed to be beautiful!!  Take care!

I had so much fun hanging out with this beautiful bride!!  I love it when people get me and my style–and she totally does!  And can you say va va VOOM–Isn’t she incredibly sexy and gorgeous??? And look at those shoes!!

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S veil–so fun and vintage!!

This was a fun shot…the bride actually saw the sign and said it would be funny for her to stand under it to give to future hubby–well, I thought, why not see if we can take it down and actually hold it!!  And sure enough…I like to tell my clients that I will risk getting arrested for a good shot–they just need to be willing to bail me out so we can finish the shoot!!  Totally worth it if you ask me!

Love this…

We found a cool wall–and I am so glad I listened to my instinct, cause I LOVE the way these turned out!

So sweet!

This is one of my faves…

Another fave…

I can’t wait to shoot this beautiful girl’s wedding!!  Have a good day all!
