Cheers to my 2020 season ending and to all the lovely, intimate weddings this year. ⠀ ⠀ All my amazing couples turned lemons into lemonade and I truly think 2020 gifted us into thinking about what truly matters...being with those you love most. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Bring on 2021! Intimate and big weddings. I'm ready for ya. ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #DCweddingphotographer #marthaweddings #bridetobe2021 #bridetobe2022 #DCweddingphotographer #bestDCweddingphotographer #washingtonian #washingtonianweddings #washingtonianbrideandgroom #fineartwedding #fineartphotography #weddingphotographer #realwedding #washingtonDC #dcbride #marthastewartweddings #stylemepretty #classicDCwedding #classicbride #loudounweddingphotographer #loudouncountywedding #northervawedding #northernvaweddingphotographer 
Ok so fun fact about me.⠀ ⠀ In 7th or 8th grade, I participated in a photography contest. The photographer who took the kids school pictures hosted a photo contest for our jr. high and high schoolers. There were only a handful of us that participated. And let it be known, a handful of jr. high and high schoolers was maybe HALF of jr. high and high school (very VERY small school.) ⠀ ⠀ We had to come up with the composition and a title for our photo and submit our favorite. (This just shows you how far back my interested in photography has been too.)⠀ ⠀ I took my disposable film camera (or maybe it was a 35mm camera...can't remember), rode my bike around my neighborhood and just starting taking photos of things I liked. One of them was a photo of our lake with the Autumn leaves reflecting on the serene water. The composition was good and created a leading line. I wish I still had that photo. I titled it "Reflections", because I'm super original. ⠀ ⠀ Anyway. I lost. Well, I didn't lose. I won 2nd place. But really, if you're a competitor, I lost. And my competition? A girl who was a year older than me whose family dog just had a littler of yellow lab puppies. They placed them in a wicker basket so some puppies were in the basket and some were out and some were trying to climb out. It was freaking adorable and what monster wouldn't pick that one to win? ⠀ ⠀ I mean, that was a pretty unfair competition. ⠀ ⠀ Anyway, this photo reminded me of my "Reflections" photo. ⠀ ⠀ Also, this shot was done on film! ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #DCweddingphotographer #marthaweddings #bridetobe2021 #bridetobe2022 #DCweddingphotographer #bestDCweddingphotographer #washingtonian #washingtonianweddings #washingtonianbrideandgroom #fineartwedding #fineartphotography #weddingphotographer #realwedding #washingtonDC #dcbride #marthastewartweddings #stylemepretty #classicDCwedding #classicbride #loudounweddingphotographer #loudouncountywedding #northervawedding #northernvaweddingphotographer 
I know I'm a few days late, but these two cuties are celebrating their ONE year anniversary this week.⠀ ⠀ Happy Anniversary, Liz + Rob!!

I've been working all day on this because I'm just too excited to share the amazingness of this gorgeous wedding and couple. ⠀ Jackie + Jon-Erik were married on Saturday (ONE day before the Gov of VA updated the mandate on events to no more than 25 people. Phew!). This was their second wedding and their bigger celebration. It was a perfect wedding! ⠀ Some sweet take aways from this wedding:⠀ - Jackie's sister and cousin(?) sang a gorgeous song in the ceremony. Jackie is also a singer in a band. ⠀ - Instead doing vows (because they got that covered) Jackie + J.E. read out loud letters they wrote to each other about their first 7 months of marriage. ⠀ - Both a live band and a DJ⠀ - Donuts⠀ - Flower toss after the ceremony⠀ - photos with a horse⠀ - Fall trees⠀ - an epic choreographed first dance with Jackie + her dad.⠀ - AND Vice President Mike Pence and Mrs. Pence were in attendance. ⠀ ⠀ Ok, head to the blog for more photos!
