I’m a little behind in blogging this but last week I met up with Nicole and James for their engagement session at Fort Hunter. What an awesome couple!! We had a great time chatting and walking around…oh and taking some pictures too. 
The light was so awesome…
Although I got SO many mosquito bites during this session, it was so worth it.
OK – So I take back everything I said before about it always being hot for weddings now. Friday was BEAUTIFUL for the wedding of Lindsay and Tom. I have to admit that I was looking forward to this wedding for awhile and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We started our day at Lindsay’s house and spent some time there while her and the girls got ready. Lindsay has 3 sisters and the nicest parents in the world. I thought the day wasn’t going to get any better when I saw Lindsey for the first time all dressed and ready. But, then the “limo” came. It was an amazing vintage Daimler (just like the royal family uses). It went so well with Lindsay’s look that I could have shot all day! Then it was off to St. Catherine’s Laboure for the ceremony. The sun was shining so beautifully through the stained windows. After the ceremony, it was off to the Civic Club for the reception. By the time we arrived there, the weather was just gorgeous and the guests were enjoying cocktail hour in the garden. So we grabbed Lindsey and Tom and walked around a little doing some creative portraits on Riverfront. And it was golden hour so the light was AMAZING! After we finished up it was inside for the reception which had an incredible dinner party like atmosphere with guests up and mingling all night.
All right. Enough talking. Now for the images.
You’ll have to forgive me for the amount of images of just Lindsay but she was just stunning!
A fun shot inside the car.
Moments before the ceremony.
Tom’s dad kneeling for a moment before the ceremony.
A great capture during the ceremony.
I did a little happy dance after this image. 
The cake, designed by Lindsay and Tom and created by About Weddings.
The Civic Club looked awesome with the luminaries.
I just have to say a special thank you to our hosts. Lindsay and Tom’s family were such gracious hosts and a true pleasure to work with. They made us feel like part of the family!
But wait….there’s more!!!!!!!!!
On Sunday afternoon, I met Lindsay and Tom at the Capitol for their Day After Session. Lindsay and Tom met at the Capitol (Tom is a Press Secretary there) so they wanted to make sure that they got some shots there. And with Tom’s credentials we were allowed inside the Capitol after it had closed, which was AWESOME!! We walked around the Rotunda, visited Tom’s office, and then had some close encounters with the fountain. These two are SO easy to work with that I truly could have shot all day again!
Lindsay went veil-less for this session and I loved the look because it was so her.
I LOVE THIS IMAGE!!!!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Lindsay and Tom for allowing me to spend most of the weekend with them. It was my pleasure!

Last week, Kade came to visit for his 7 month session.
Kade LOVES his thumb!
And sister Emily tagged along too. Who could resist getting some shots of her as well?
We’ve been doing a lot of boudoir lately. Here are just two “detail” shots from two lovely ladies.
Last Saturday, just back from vacation, Lindsey and I headed to Carlisle for the wedding of Kelli and Mike. I had the pleasure of doing their engagement session in Annapolis awhile back and quickly learned that Mike HATES having his picture taken. So with that in mind, we headed to the church to meet up with both the guys and the girls. Mike was nervous but smiling which was a really good sign for us! After the ceremony and a fun bridal party shot, we headed to the Holiday Inn West for their reception. I was so blown away by their cake that I had to track down Cindy from About Weddings to tell her how amazing it was!
On to the images…
The kids at this wedding were SO CUTE!!
Kelli was beautiful in her gown.
A cool capture of Mike before the wedding.
I love this shot that Lindsey grabbed during the ceremony.
See…told you.
This is Jayden, Kelli’s nephew, during cocktail hour. He was OUT!!
A couple of cool ring shots.
The AMAZING cake.
Kelli’s sister, Jayme, got a little emotional during the toasts.
One of my favorites of the day.
Thanks Kelli and Mike for putting up with us!!

Alright everyone. I know you have been waiting for blog posts (trust me, I’ve read all of your emails begging for them). So this is just a little note to let you know that there will be blog posts for the next 5 days so stay tuned.
We’re starting with the lovely wedding of Casey and John two Saturdays ago. Now that we are into the dog days of summer, every wedding is going to be hot. So I think we can just assume that it was a little warm on their day. Allison and I started at Casey’s mom’s house with the girls and Andy hung out at the church with the guys. We all met up for a beautiful ceremony and then it was off the the West Shore Country Club for pictures before going inside. (A very special thanks to Steve for leading us around in the golf carts and holding the bouquet!) Then inside we all went to cool off and enjoy the music of Cruise Control (for our second week in a row!).
Now for the good stuff…
One of my favorites of the day.
John and the boys.
LOVE this shot. John is reading a card from Casey.
The lovely Casey right before the ceremony.
I love Casey’s mom and sister in the front of this shot leaning in to catch a glimpse of the bride coming down the aisle.
Off in the golf carts for some portrait time at the country club.
I couldn’t decide between these next two so you get both.
The cake.
John and his mom.
Bouquet.

The lovely couple.
Casey and John, we had the best time getting to know your families. Thank you all for being so gracious to us.
