He's five. My little Huddy Buddy is five today. ⠀ The list of wonderful qualities this little guy has can go on and on. ⠀ He's full of joy this one. I mean, look at that smile that make his eyes disappear. He laughs and smiles with his whole face. He lives life with his whole self. He's pure boy. ⠀ He has a righteous anger toward anyone that hurts his sisters (as was noticed by Brian the other night when he made Eloise cry. Hudson got so mad at him.)⠀ He's so incredibly thoughtful. If he gets something like a lollipop from a haircut or a straw for his drink, he automatically gets one for Eloise without skipping a beat. His receiving love language is gifts. He's the best person to give a gift to. He genuinely is so thankful and excited about his gifts even it's just me picking up new underwear for him. ⠀ He giving love language is service. He makes sure others are happy. ⠀ He's an early riser and a usually the last kid to fall asleep. Once his feet hit the floor, he's energy can't be beat. ⠀ The word wonder is perfect for him because really, he's wonder-FULL. ⠀ He's a destroyer of everything though. He's a tornado that rips through the house in 2.2 seconds leaving everyone and everything in his trace in a dizzy. ⠀ But man, we are thankful for this the middle piece of boy in the middle of a sister sandwich. ⠀ Happy Birthday to our Huddy Buddy! We love him SO much. ⠀

I have a red dress, red lipstick and a white fence. ⠀ That's a pretty good Friday if you ask me. ⠀ ⠀ Since it's Friday, let's do some #fridayintroductions!⠀ Some fun facts that are COVID edition and not COVID edition: ⠀ 1. Since COVID started I've read 5 books and am currently on my 6th with Start with Why by Simon Sinek. Usually I only have time to read 1 book a YEAR! ⠀ 2. I've been rewatching the Mad Men series. I find the 50-60's decades so interesting. So much of history happened in those years. (If you have any historical fiction books based in those decades, let ya girl know!)⠀ 3. I realize the pandemic is not over (duh!), but it feels good to have some sort of life back to normal with being able to go to church again and workout in a gym. Who else is with me? Also, YAY for VA entering Phase 3 soon! It means some of my weddings can happen in the Fall. Let's keep wearing those masks (even though I hate them!)!! ⠀ 4. While I achingly miss shooting weddings, I'm thankful to have my weekends with my family. ⠀ 5. I'm legit terrified of tornados. I turn into a shaking dog when I see tornado warnings. ⠀ 6. Brian and I watched two very sad movies last weekend: Just Mercy and The Goldfinch. So it's my turn to pick out the next movies to watch...I need a humorous one! ⠀ 7. If I had to pick between living in the city or living in the suburbs...I think I may choose the city IF I had a personal parking spot. The parking is what kills me. I like being around people.⠀ 8. My favorite holiday is next week and although it doesn't look like fireworks are going to happen anywhere, I think I might wear this dress all week in celebration.⠀ ⠀ Ok, now you tell me something COVID and not COVID. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #jennyb #DCweddingphotographer #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #marthaweddings #bridetobe2021 #bridetobe2020 #huffpostweddings #fineartwedding #fineartphotography #washingtonian #washingtonianweddings #washingtonianbrideandgroom #weddingphotographer #realwedding #washingtonDC #dcbride #marthastewartweddings #stylemepretty #classicDCwedding #classicbride #loudounweddingphotographer #loudouncountywedding #northervawedding #northernva

One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is noticing things or moments that the subject wouldn't and couldn't and then surprising them later on when I email the gallery or hit publish on the blog. ⠀ ⠀ I love finding a different angle to create magic in organic moments, even if it's as simple as zipping up a dress, whether it's through finding the best light in the room, removing distracting elements from the background or using reflections through a painting in the hallway. ⠀ ⠀ Dress: @misshayleypaige ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #jennyb #DCweddingphotographer #washingtonian #washingtonianweddings #washingtonianbrideandgroom #marthaweddings #bridetobe2021 #bridetobe2020 #huffpostweddings #fineartwedding #fineartphotography #weddingphotographer #realwedding #washingtonDC #dcbride #marthastewartweddings #stylemepretty #classicDCwedding #classicbride #bristowmanor #loudounweddingphotographer #loudouncountywedding #northervawedding #northernvaweddingphotographer

Do the shoes you wear really matter on your wedding day? ⠀ ⠀ Yes. Absolutely yes. ⠀ ⠀ They matter just as much as your florals do. They tell a cohesive story about your wedding day. And as any fashionista will tell you, the shoes you choose complete an outfit. So pick out some shoes that will complement the gorgeous dress you will wear. ⠀ ⠀ Also, Laura was smart and chose fancy flats for her wedding day. They were especially helpful when we walked up Capitol Hill in 3000% humidity and 100 degree heat. I couldn't imagine having to do that in heels. ⠀ ⠀ Florals: @cedarandlimeco Planning: @bohemia.dc ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #jennyb #DCweddingphotographer #washingtonian #washingtonianweddings #washingtonianbrideandgroom #marthaweddings #bridetobe2021 #bridetobe2020 #huffpostweddings #fineartwedding #fineartphotography #weddingphotographer #realwedding #washingtonDC #dcbride #marthastewartweddings #stylemepretty #classicDCwedding #classicbride #loudounweddingphotographer #loudouncountywedding #northervawedding #northernvaweddingphotographer

Yesterday, Karen + Ryan were married in a small church in Virginia. ⠀ ⠀ The storm blew in during their ceremony and had a 5 minute stop just as the bride and groom were exiting the church so I was able to snap just a few of them together. ⠀ ⠀ We were supposed to head to Manassas Battlefield for more pictures, but man, the skies opened up and a torrential downpour started without an ending in sight. ⠀ Thankfully, they are having a bigger celebration next year @bristowmanor so we will finish the rest of the photos then. ⠀ ⠀ This is one of my favorite shots from their intimate ceremony. Also, Karen's @misshayleypaige dress is a stunner!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #jennyb #DCweddingphotographer #marthaweddings #bridetobe2021 #bridetobe2020 #huffpostweddings #fineartwedding #fineartphotography #washingtonian #washingtonianbrideandgroom #washingtonianweddings #bristowmanor #weddingphotographer #realwedding #washingtonDC #dcbride #marthastewartweddings #stylemepretty #classicDCwedding #classicbride #loudounweddingphotographer #loudouncountywedding #northervawedding #northernvaweddingphotographer
