Jennifer and Harrison 3.15.09

Jennifer and Harrison were married last Sunday at St. Matthews United Methodist Church in Annandale, Virginia.  This fun couple has three main loves:

1) Each other
2) Their families
3) Badminton 

Seriously!

It was a fun day (despite the persistent rain) and everyone had a great time!

The color in the ladies' bouquets was absolutely stunning!


Jennifer was positively glowing before her walk down the aisle!

The first look...



Husband and wife!

Their families arranged for a badminton arch!  Jennifer and Harrison were completely surprised and totally delighted.  I told you they loved badminton!



The reception was held at the new visitor's center at Frying Pan Park in Herndon, Virginia.  We headed over to look at the cows and take a few pictures.

The pictures are great...

... but I don't think this little guy appreciated the interruption!




First dance



Have I mentioned how much they love badminton?



In all our years in the wedding industry, we have never seen a bride and groom cut such a clean piece of cake!  Not a crumb nor crumble in sight!
And, yes... it was yummy!


Out in the rain (and the dark) for... 

... you guessed it:  a quick game of badminton (sans net)!

Good luck, Jennifer and Harrison!  Thanks for inviting us to be a part of your day.

And thanks for the cookies and leftover cake!  :)

Kristy and Quin 3.14.09

Kristy and Quin had a beautiful wedding, despite the rain, at the Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast in Middleburg, VA.  This location has a special significance to Pernell and I because we, too, got married at the Briar Patch B&B!  It was fun to go back!  

It was a small wedding, Kristy and Quin chose to celebrate with family and few close friends, and was planned, largely, by the groom!  Kristy has been living overseas, so when they decided to get married, Quin, who lives locally, took on the challenge of planning their big day.  He did a great job!  


Kristy's dress was beautiful!



The groom gets ready.






Husband and wife!

The Briar Patch is located on several acres of beautiful Virginia countryside.  Unfortunately, it was raining and there were few places to go without risking a wet bride and groom!  





First dance as husband and wife.




Congratulations, Kristy and Quin!
