Kate and Bill - Engaged!

I'm feeling kinda rockstar-ish! Two blog posts in two days! Not bad. If you're looking for Meghan and Amin's wedding pics - they're the next post down. :)

Kate and Bill came over yesterday to shoot their engagement pictures. Between their schedule and ours, it's been a challenge to get together, but we finally did and just in time, too! They're getting married in just under 3 weeks!! I'm really looking forward to their wedding - what a nice couple! We had fun driving around Leesburg, visiting some of my favorite spots to shoot and finding a couple new ones. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect fall day! Simply gorgeous!

We started out at our house...

...and then took the photo shoot outside.

This is one of my favorites!

I'm looking forward to working with you in a few weeks, Kate and Bill! See you soon!

Meghan and Amin - 10.09.10

Meghan and Amin picked a great date to get married: October 9th (also known as our anniversary!). We were happy to spend our special day with them as they celebrated theirs. This was one of the most laid-back couples we have ever worked with... from their casual courtyard ceremony to the relaxed restaurant reception, they truly just had fun and enjoyed themselves!

A sign points guests towards Meghan and Amin's Alexandria home and ceremony site.

Friends and family gathered and mingled in front of the house before the ceremony. This was a special time for Meghan and Amin to spend with their guests.

Walking over to the ceremony site.

Husband and wife!

Meghan's friend brought these beautiful leis with her all the way from Hawaii.

A champagne toast before heading to Georgetown for the reception.

I think I forgot to mention how cute and sassy Meghan's shoes were!

And her engagement and wedding rings? Designed by the groom himself! So pretty!

We had fun shooting these pictures outside the restaurant.

During the toasts, one of Amin's best friends presented the couple with a hilarious gift:

Look closely... it turns out the fifth Beatle was actually Meghan and Amin's much-loved Jack Russell Terrier!

Congratulations, Meghan and Amin! We hope October 9th has been as good for you as it has been for us!
