As soon as I met Lili and Randall I was so excited for them and their big day! I loved hearing about how these two coffee-loving gamers met and where they have traveled along their journey. They can get definitely get through anything and I think they are the the sweetest people I have ever met! On their wedding day the details made this day so special from the cake topper look alike to the espresso bar at the reception. I am so happy for these two and their new adventure together!
Paige and Allen were married outdoors atop a beautiful mountainous Santa Fe landscape. When these two met in Austin they were instantly attracted to one another's sense of humor and have been best friends ever since. As family poured in from Texas and other regions of NM they excitedly greeted each other and prepared for their big day. I was so honored to be a part of this occasion as it was my first trip to New Mexico and it was a wonderful experience to shoot the beautiful pueblo style architecture, amazing view and wonderful couple. Here are some images telling the story of their special day.
Janene and Farid are just meant to be. Their playful and romantic natures were easy to capture during their couple shoot in D.C. It was a beautiful day and an even more gorgeous sunset. It was hard to pick any favorites, but here are some of them!
I loved getting to second shoot for my friend, Mary of Mary Sandoval Photography! This Thorpewood, Maryland wedding was a blast from start to finish. Brittany was fun-spirited and knew how to entertain her bridal party. When it came time for Brittany and Ben to do portraits they were so fun and and didn't worry about what they looked like. They were just in the moment and happy to finally be getting married. Here are some of my favorites from their special day!
Little Ellie has the cutest expressions, loves playing with leaves, and diving into sweet treats. She played for hours at her first birthday party and was constantly entertaining one of her many friends or family members. For me it was even more special because I was roommates with her mom in college! Not only did I get to visit sweet friends, but I also got to take some family pictures in the beautiful golden light as the sun went down. Here are my favorites from the day!
Here are a few more of my other old college roomies!
Meet the talent behind 1001 Angles Photography! This is my awesome photographer friend, Kay. She does weddings and portraits in the DC area and even went to the Washington School of Photography! I love shooting with her whether it is at a wedding or just for fun. She has a great eye and makes such beautiful images. Here are some of my favorites from our shoot together!
It has been such a blessing to shoot so many memorable moments for the Shah's. I was able to to see how happy Rina and Todd were when they were expecting and be at their baby blessing and now little Talia is one! It is truly amazing to see their family grow from two to three and to also be able to document it. It was so fun to see Talia's reaction to the birthday cake, face painter/performer, and all of her family and friends in one place. I always wonder what a one year old is thinking with so much going on around them! Here are some of my favorites from this princess inspired event!
When Jenny and Brett wanted to do their engagement session at their alma mater I was so excited because we went to the same school! I love that we all graduated from UMW and would get to visit all the cute places on campus. Jenny and Brett actually met when they were just 4 years old. Both of their families are in the military so they met overseas. Their families have always been friends and so it must have been meant to be for them to become best friends! It was so fun to to see what has changed at the school and walk around downtown with such a cute, fun couple. Thanks Brett and Jenny, I'm looking forward to your big day!
It has been so fun to shoot the Andresen's family portraits over the years. It seems like little Claire and Reese get cuter and blonder every time we meet. I love getting to keep up with what's going on in their lives and hear about the fun things they are doing as a family!
