Megan + Ray are getting married in Boston later this year and I have no doubt that they will have the most wonderful time!  These two have a perfect chemistry and enjoy every minute together – they just laugh non-stop!  And it was just impossible not to laugh right along with them! This is an extra-long post for an extra-long session – we strolled about down in Old Town Alexandria and then later grabbed a drink at Sonoma (one of my fav restaurants!) on Capitol Hill before heading over to Eastern Market.

Heehee – this is Ray’s mafia face – love it!

This little gal was the center of attention in a recent portrait session and she’s so cute I just had to give her a post all to herself!

It’s official – Studio Juno is famous ;P  Well, maybe not quite, but we’re counting it!  Check out our feature of Katie & Steve’s wedding on The District Bride Guide.  And if you’re getting married in the DC area, or anywhere really, definitely take a few minutes to troll their blog – lots and lots of good stuff on there!

Liliana & Tim’s wedding was one of the most joyful events I have ever witnessed.  Liliana has the most radiant personality – you just don’t see this woman without a giant smile on her face!  She is so sweet and enthusiastic and is always ready to share a funny story.  As Tim remarked while we were shooting, “you might have a hard time getting pictures of Liliana not talking.”  But Liliana smiles while she talks and Tim smiles while he listens – they are the perfect pair!  After 10 years of dating, Liliana & Tim’s wedding day was so welcomed and enjoyed by all their friends and family.

A big thank you to my fabulous new assistant, Dana, who got a couple of these great shots!

Loved these bright red shoes!

Off to the church!

Liliana’s kids were the best man and maid of honor and were so happy to see their mom so overjoyed.

The Church of St. Joseph, in Herdon VA, is absolutely beautiful.

Tim is a bit of a vintage car collector and this Mustang convertible was his very first car many years ago.  This shot of Liliana & Tim in the convertible is absolutely my favorite of the day!  After the ceremony, we spent some time around old town Herndon for some pictures.

Liliana & Tim wanted some pictures in their favorite bar, Jimmy’s Tavern.  When we got there, everyone in the bar knew them and cheered for them.  And then they had a beer and relaxed for a bit – so cute!

The reception at Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm in Broadlands, VA was just gorgeous.  It was a beautiful day and the farm was so pretty and charming – an absolutely perfect place for a relaxed wedding reception.

Dana grabbed this great shot as Liliana & Tim arrived at Clyde’s in their convertible!

Every guest had a fan given to them and Liliana asked all of her girlfriends to join her on the dance floor with their fans.  It was so much fun to watch them all have such a great time together and the fans were a perfect touch!  Liliana is quite a dancer!

Liliana & her daughter beckoned Manuel, Liliana’s son, to join them on the dance floor…..

….where he showed some great moves!

Manuel and Lymari gave a joint toast to Liliana & Tim – it was so cute, they had everyone laughing and Liliana was shouting “it’s all so true!”

I recently spent a lovely evening with Alicia & Luke, who are getting married in their home state of Iowa next year.  We stayed right around Senate Park in Washington, DC and just lollygagged about in the gorgeous fading sunlight.  Alicia & Luke have a marvelous chemistry between them – they joked and laughed the entire time and were so completely at ease together.  Congratulations you two!
