Anne and Lewis 9.25.10

Blue skies, a light breeze, and smooth water meant that Anne and Lewis picked a beautiful day to get married! Their dockside ceremony aboard "The Cherry Blossom" in Alexandria, Virginia was a first for us. We've shot many weddings near water, next to water, and overlooking water. This was the first time we did a wedding on the water! This charming yellow and white paddle boat was the perfect location for an intimate gathering of Lewis and Anne's family and friends. The reception cruise along the Potomac river allowed guests to take in some D.C. sights while they dined, danced, and celebrated this awesome couple!



What a picturesque area!


Anne was calm, cool, and collected before the ceremony.




And Lewis was grinning from ear to ear!



The sky was incredible...






Married!


I snuck in a couple of post-ceremony shots while they weren't looking. I love these...



Second kiss as husband and wife. :D


I love the bright colors in this shot.


After the ceremony, the paddles got going...


... and we ran around the boat with Lewis and Anne, looking for some fun pictures.








So many cakes, so little time...







There were a couple of gazebos nearby and we had time to squeeze in a few more fun shots after the guests had left.



Congratulations, Lewis and Anne! You guys were super easy and fun to work with! We wish you many years of happiness together and nothing but smooth sailing ahead!

Liz and Scott 5.15.10

Liz and Scott said "I do" at the Notaviva Vineyards in Purcellville, Virginia. This unconventional couple (the groom wore lego cufflinks and the processional music came straight from the "Star Wars" soundtrack!) were surrounded by family and friends for their intimate ceremony and reception.

Notaviva is the perfect spot for a small wedding! What a beautiful setting.




Liz gets ready to see her groom...




... who was getting ready to see her!




These beautiful windows were a perfect frame for the ceremony.




Exchanging rings...


... and a kiss!




After the formals we had a few minutes to sneak off before the reception started.


This is one of my favorites from the day!




Having a sweet, serious moment...


... until one of them "ruined" it by saying something funny! :)




Green and purple: a beautiful color combination!


Mmmm.... caaaake....




It was a beautiful wedding, Scott and Liz! Many wishes for a lifetime of happiness!
