Megan is turning one and has her parents wrapped around her little finger – literally! She’s happiest when she has one by each hand, so she can walk like they do. She’s the daughter of wedding clients from a few years ago (gorgeous wedding ceremony at Holy Trinity, pictures at the Willard Hotel and reception at the Ronald Reagan Pavilion Room) and it’s so much fun to have an excuse to see them again and get to know their daughter too!
The album design for Ruby and Waynne’s fabulous wedding at the Cathedral of St. Matthew and Gaylord National Harbor is finished! Check out all the fun had by their 53 person wedding party: Wedding album.
Melissa and Oladele are crazy about each other, which made taking their engagement pictures so much fun! They’re having a Long Island, New York wedding that I’m super excited to be shooting at the end of October. Melissa was a bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding almost 2 years ago, so I’m thrilled to be her wedding photographer too.
Melissa’s crystal clear blue eyes are so amazing!
Ruby and Waynne’s wedding day was the most perfect wedding weather we could have asked for: cloudless blue skies and almost fall-like weather. The vibrant fuchsia bouquets matched the day and the festive mood. I just love flowers!
The Cathedral of Saint Matthew is a regal setting for a wedding and perfect for a gorgeous bride like Ruby. It’s unbelievably ornate and fabulous to photograph. Fortunately a bus load of tourists didn’t come through during the wedding!
The wedding party were all great sports as I took them down on a wobbly floating dock for a shot with the sun setting and the Gaylord National on the Potomac in the background. It was worth the risk, and thankfully no one got wet!
This was my first wedding at the Gaylord National at National Harbor and it was amazing. The views were beautiful, and the hotel is so huge that even on a rainy day there would be plenty of places to use for wedding pictures. I’d love to shoot there again.
It’s always great to see former clients at weddings, both because I love seeing them again and because I’m so thankful for happy clients who refer me to their friends and family! I shot Ruby and Waynne’s cousin’s wedding several years ago, so I knew this would be a fun group of friends and family. I wasn’t disappointed; it was a wonderful day and an honor to be the wedding photographer! Now on to the pictures, just a “few” of my favorites. 🙂
