Faith and Aaron are just about the most easy-going and all-around friendly people you’ll ever meet! They wanted their wedding to be fun, easy and relaxed – just a memorable and beautiful get-together with their family and friends. Hendry House in Arlington VA was the perfect location for just that atmosphere. The pre-ceremony cocktail hour complete with lawn games followed by a laid-back reception with barbecue from Rockland’s and a pie bar for dessert helped create the perfect setting. Faith and Aaron’s joie de vivre was infectious and combined with the absolutely perfect weather, their wedding day was unforgettable!
Wedding Planning: Sara Bauleke with Bella Notte

After the ceremony, Faith had a surprise when she took a closer look at her wedding ring and discovered that Aaron had secretly had them engraved with each others’ names an their wedding date.
Dana and I had so much fun photographing Ellie & Zach’s wedding recently. These two were so at ease with each other that photographing them just seemed effortless. When it was time for their portraits, they just relaxed and their love for one another was so completely clear – it made our job so easy! And Ellie was so sweet – it’s clear how much her family and friends adore her – she had this huge smile on her face the entire day and the room would just light up when she entered. Congratulations to you both and we hope your honeymoon was fantastic!
Loved these shoes!
How cute is this charm on Ellie’s bouquet? Her friend had it made special for her wedding day – what a great gift!
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Arlington was a beautiful spot for their ceremony.
These next couple photos were taken in the lobby of The Mason Inn, where the reception was held. It was a beautiful venue!
They played a slideshow of photos of Ellie & Zach growing up and the reactions from friends and family as they watched were just so much fun to see!
Ellie & her dad….love it!
And Zach and his mom were so sweet together!
Ed Witles of The Elegant DJ did an awesome job of packing that dance floor!
Love this parting shot in front of the Inn!
It was a beautiful day last Saturday – I really miss that weather right now! After all these rainy days and weekends lately, we got lucky and had a gorgeous morning for Pierson’s debut on camera!
This little guy is about four months old now and his parents, Peter & Monica, just adore him in every way possible. And for good reason! Pierson is just full of personality and spends all his time smiling, kicking, trying to roll over and talking like nobody’s business!
I love this shot! Pierson is wondering why no one is making googly eyes at him, Moxie (that gorgeous Aussie) is trying to be a good girl and sit still for the camera and Peter & Monica are just beaming at each other!
Babies make such crazy expressions and this series is my tribute to those nutty baby faces, which are so entertaining and should never be forgotten!
All tuckered out….
And let’s not forget Moxie. She would like me to mention that she is able to perform a wide variety of tricks and is happy to give you her rates anytime you need a doggie model ;P
