Elisabeth & Nick - 9.5.09

For Elisabeth and Nick's wedding this past weekend we headed back to the Briar Patch!  We were at the Middleburg B&B back in March and oh, right... we were married there almost five years ago!  The Briar Patch, needless to say, has a special place in our hearts!  

Elisabeth and Nick had an absolutely gorgeous day to get married!  Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and friends and family that LOVE to dance!  It doesn't get much better than that...

The flowers were gorgeous - magenta, lime green, and white!  Beautiful!

Dress detail... Elisabeth's dress was stunning!

I loved the antique look of Elisabeth's jewelry, hair accessories, and dress details.  Classic!

Nick sees his beautiful bride for the first time.

After the ceremony we walked around the Briar Patch and found some fun places to shoot.

First Dance

Yummy cake...

Congratulations, Elisabeth and Nick!  Thanks for letting us be a part of your big day!

Jenn and Scott - Take 3!

We love Jenn and Scott!  And we had the pleasure of working with them for the third time this past weekend!  We did their engagement pictures last summer, their wedding this spring, and now their post-wedding, horse pictures.  Wait.  Their what??!  

You read that right:  Jenn has a horse that she loves dearly and she asked about doing a shoot with her, Scott, and Oprah.  That's the horse.  Oh, and their dog joined us, too.

So we headed into Maryland and spent a little time on the farm where Jenn boards Oprah.  The scenery was beautiful, the two-legged models were gorgeous (as always!), and the four-legged models were patient and cooperative.  Despite the heat (upper 90s, no breeze, humid - you get the picture), we had a fun time, as we always do with these two!  Jenn, Scott, and Oprah were real troopers.  We had to move quick to avoid the worst of the heat, but I think we still got some great shots.  Enjoy!

Now do you remember them?  ;-)  They're on our website in a very similar pose!

I love these two shots!

You guys are awesome!  Thanks for another fun photo shoot!

Dominique and Jason - 7. 11.09

I can't believe it's already been 2+ weeks since Dominique and Jason said "I do" and I have yet to blog about it!  Better late than never, right?  

We met this fun couple back in June when they came over for their engagement session.  They live in Richmond, but were married in Sterling, as their families live locally.  We loved hanging out with them earlier this summer and were really looking forward to being a part of their big day.  It's amazing how many pictures two photographers can capture in a single day!  We ended up with over 1300 photographs!  Here are some of our favorites...

I love a tidy lacing job! 

She's looking at him like they are the only two people in the room.  I love it!

Pretty cake topper!

I love this one!

And this one!

Jason looks like he knows what's coming!

Not too messy for a cake-smash!  Nicely done, you two!

Congrats, guys!  Hope you had a great honeymoon!
