Every wedding photographer dreams of an ideal wedding day, similar to how a bride imagines hers. I dream of a well constructed timeline (and staying on schedule!), a welcoming wedding party, a beautiful venue, the ability to take my time with details and slow things down mid-day, and time alone with my bride and groom to really capture those memorable shots that will hopefully remain on the wall in the years to come.

I remember leaving Katelyn and Cody's wedding reception at the end of the night amazed at how perfect the day was for them both - and for me! I was absolutely ecstatic with how the day went and the way I was able to capture their memories and document their day. Here are just a few favorite snaps from their April wedding!

Becca and Rob's vineyard wedding was one for the books, let me tell you! Leesburg is one of my absolute favorite destinations in Northern Virginia. It's full of farms and vineyards and the Stone Tower Winery was the host to Becca and Rob's big day. Our featured couple this afternoon met at a winery through the groom's sister, and became engaged at a winery this past December. There clearly wasn't any other choice of venue for their day!

Becca and Rob were married in front of a little over 100 guests with the rolling hills of Leesburg serving as their backdrop. The venue allowed everyone to spread out, from dancing, dinner to outdoor games and lounging as the sun set over the hills.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed working with other vendors as much as I did this wedding. Everyone was so wonderful to work with, and it was clear Becca and Rob went the extra mile to make sure they handpicked only the best for their special day. I am so grateful to have been a part of it!
