Jenn and Scott - 5.30.09

You might recognize this next couple from our website!  We shot their engagement session last summer and have been looking forward to this wedding for months!  Jenn and Scott are a great couple to work with: fun, enthusiastic, and good lookin' to boot!  Their Saturday morning wedding was absolutely beautiful!  After a week of completely lousy weather, they lucked out with sunshine and blue skies.  It truly was a gorgeous day.  

Jenn and Scott said "I do" at the River Creek Club in Leesburg, Virginia.  It was a nice change of pace to go to a wedding 10 minutes from our house!  And what a beautiful setting...

Jenn was a stunning bride...

... and Scott thought so, too!  :)

The bridesmaids' dresses matched the gorgeous blue sky!

The four of us took off for a quick portrait session on the scenic grounds of the club.

This is one of my favorites.

First dance

Yummy cake!

When they went to leave, Jenn and Scott were overwhelmed by the amount of bubbles their guests had managed to create!  It was really bubbly out there!

Congratulations, you two!!

Maternity Shoot!

We had the pleasure of working with soon-to-be parents, Tracy and Joey, last weekend.  They are expecting their first child in June and wanted to have some photographs to look back on this amazing time in their lives.  We have set up a small studio in our house for portrait work, so Tracy and Joey headed to our place for the afternoon.  We had a great time with this fun couple, who are going to be awesome parents!  

Tracy's gorgeous belly!  She had a friend paint on a henna design.  Tracy and Joey spent several months traveling through India and other parts of Asia and have a soft spot in their hearts for that corner of the world.

They're so cute together!

Amazingly, Tracy was already 36 weeks pregnant in these pictures!  I kept having to tell her to stick her belly out more... she doesn't look "pregnant enough"! :)

I love this one!

The one above is one of my favorites.

Tracy wanted a few pictures that were more intimate in nature.  Benefits of an in-studio shoot? Privacy and good lighting!  :)

Gorgeous!

Thanks, guys!  We had a great time!  Let us know when the little one arrives and we'll make a plan for some newborn portraits!  Can't wait!

Heather and Glenn 5.3.09

Heather and Glenn were married last Sunday at Whitehall Manor in Bluemont, Virginia.  The rain that came in overnight and refused to budge may have forced the outdoor wedding indoors, but it couldn't dampen the spirit of this great couple!  They and their guests had a blast, despite the weather, and the party was still going strong when the last dance was played.

Heather was a beautiful bride!

Between sprinkles and showers, we stepped outside to take whatever pictures we could.

Whitehall Manor has one thing in abundance:  covered verandas!  They came in handy :)

Glenn's grandfather walks Heather's grandmothers down the aisle.  

Without realizing it, these ladies bought the same dress in different colors!  Too funny!

Glenn sees his bride for the first time.

I love this shot.

Husband and wife!

We ran out for a couple of minutes to take advantage of the beautiful grounds.

First dance.

A relative made their fun spring-themed cake.

Congratulations, Heather and Glenn!  Hope you're having 

fun in Aruba!  And... I hope it's not raining.  :)
