Sheraton Premiere at Tyson’s Corner Wedding – Congratulations Heather and Edgar!

Heather and Edgar were married in a much anticipated, long awaited celebration surrounded by enthusiastic family and friends.  I have never heard such a roar at a wedding as when the newly married couple were announced into their reception at the Sheraton Premier in Tyson’s Corner, VA.  They are loved and adored by so many people!  Heather’s beautiful sisters were her bridesmaids, which made for so many sweet and sentimental moments as their their love for Heather and Edgar was evident.  To see more of this lovely wedding day watch the slideshow here.  Congratulations Heather and Edgar, it was a joy to serve as your wedding photographer!

Gorgeous bride!

Heather tied her grandmother’s rosary beads onto her bouquet as a beautiful tribute to a grandmother who was with her in spirit on her wedding day. 

Edgar’s father made the favors.  Yum!

Cherry Blossoms 2013 – Washington DC

This year we waited and waited and waited for the cherry blossoms.  Then when they finally bloomed the second week of April it was 90 degrees!  This made for only a couple of days of blossoms (they started opening on Monday and were gone by Thursday night) but I made the most of it!  The blossoms were also really pink again this year, it must be the warm weather that gives them a little more color than usual.

So, on a dreary, cool day in Washington, DC, enjoy remembering warmer weather and the first signs of spring!

Washington DC Maternity Photography – Jen and John

Jen and John are expecting a baby girl in about a month (her name is top secret so I couldn’t include the fun pictures showcasing her name).  To document the anticipated arrival of this sweet baby girl, gorgeous spring flowers were an appropriate maternity portrait backdrop.  Jen is a gorgeous mommy-to-be and I know this baby girl is lavishly loved already by her parents.  I can’t wait to meet her!

Washington DC Engagement Photos – Michele and Rob

Spring has sprung for Michele and Rob’s engagement shoot!  The weather has been a bit crazy and the cherry blossoms came and went in a couple of days, but in the midst of all that was a gorgeous day for Capitol Hill engagement photos. We had so much fun, as you can tell!  Aren’t Michele and Rob so cute together?

Belmont Country Club Photographer – Congratulations Ashley and Will!

Ashley and Will were married in a lovely outdoor ceremony at the scenic Belmont Country Club in Ashburn, VA.  The day was breezy and almost warm, hinting of spring on a late March afternoon.  Belmont has lots of indoor space with great light for photos and I always enjoy photographing weddings at the mansion.   Ashley was a simply stunning bride and it was a joy to work with her and all her sweet bridesmaids.  Being trusted to capture wedding day memories is always an honor.   Family and so many friends were on hand to celebrate what was most important about the day – Ashley and Will are married!  Congratulations you two!

This may be one of the most personalized details I’ve seen – custom champaign glasses for all the bridesmaids.  Each glass was hand-painted with the style of dress that bridesmaid wore.  Aren’t they adorable!?

Ashley and Will chose to have a reveal and see each other before the ceremony.  This enabled us to take all the portraits and family formal pictures before the ceremony so the couple could join the cocktail hour immediately after the wedding ceremony.

Ashley and some of her bridesmaids made these fun cake pop favors.
