Christine + Chris had the loveliest afternoon recently. They got dressed up and – looking their very best – had a really nice quiet stroll around Alexandria, Virginia. They stopped along the way to joke and laugh and find cozy little spots to sit awhile. They ended up at the Carlyle House Historic Park in Old Town, where their family joined them. And then they got married! It was great – so simple, sweet and easy. I loved coming along to capture it all!
As Chase put it, she and I were randomly assigned obligatory friends – otherwise knows as freshman dorm roommates! There’s something really special about seeing someone you’ve know for years and years find the perfect person to love and marry. Congratulations Chase & Jeff! Their wedding at the National Aquarium in Baltimore was perfectly gorgeous and so much fun!

Flowers from Local Color were all locally-sourced, in-season and fresh and beautiful!

Everything about Jenn + Chad’s wedding day was just so pretty! You can’t beat the American Visionary Art Museum – everywhere you look there is something interesting and beautiful; and it’s right by Federal Hill with a gorgeous view of the harbor and the city. And then Jenn + Chad were so great together and full of jokes and smiles. And the weather couldn’t have been better – their ceremony in the garden was breezy and warm with a kiss of sunshine. Basically, it was totally perfect!

Venessa caught this little dog spying on Jenn & Chad!

Their wedding day was also Chad’s parents’ anniversary. Chad gave them a beautiful toast.


Lindsay + Dave’s gorgeous day was full of beautiful moments and lots of laughter. After getting ready, they took a stroll around The Hotel Monaco in downtown DC and then headed over to DAR Constitution Hall for a stunning, elegant and relaxed wedding. Many thanks to their wedding coordinator, Alexandra of Alexandra Company, for making everything run so smoothly!
A quick sneak peek of Ashley & Dan’s beautiful wedding at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland! Venessa and I had a lot of fun with these two and the aquarium is such a great backdrop for photos. It was a fantastic night for everyone – congrats Ashley & Dan!
