You are going to love this wedding! This wedding began at the bride’s childhood home in Alexandria. Her mom’s paint color in the foyer matched the wedding colors. It’s almost like they planned it! As I walked through Sally’s parent’s home, it was easy to see that her classy, preppy and southern style stemmed from them. I loved how simple and elegant all of Sally’s details were! From the very beginning of the day I knew that this was going to be a gorgeous wedding!!
As I styled the details, one of Sally’s little flower girls kept me company and told me all about her role that day. It was so sweet to photograph bridal details while listening to a 6 year old girl’s view of a wedding! It’s so magical and special to her in so many ways! It gave me a fresh perspective at the beginning of the day and I loved that!! I loved so many parts of David and Sally’s wedding day. Their band was amazing, their ceremony was perfect, their portrait locations were wonderful and their venue… well you just wait until you see their VENUE! We love photographing at the Army Navy Club!!
One other part of their day that was so special was watching Sally read her card from David. Before she opened it she said she wasn’t going to cry, but after reading his sweet words to her, the tears started flowing. They are truly a beautiful couple with big hearts and so many FRIENDS! Their bridal party was HUGE!! We loved working with them and we can’t wait to show off their day!!!

This beautiful day way unlike any wedding I have ever photographed before. It’s hard to put into words how powerful and inspiring it was.
If you’ve been following my updates since I got the R6 two years ago, you know I LOVE it!! It has been a game changer for me! But there is ONE mistake that I’ve made that cannot be fixed afterwards!
There are things that EVERY photographer should have on their website! We will walk through some students’ websites to see how small changes can impact their perceived value, and for you to see if what they’re missing is something that you are too!
You know what I’m realizing? I’m realizing I am loving getting to see people I love and miss in this very busy season of our life.
We’re gearing up for wedding season and there are so many ways to market yourself DURING a wedding to keep new clients coming in! I have been a wedding photographer for 13 years, and I have never paid for ‘traditional’ advertising!
I am eating my words again! For years, I have used InDesign for everything… but Canva had a HUGE update last year which changed everything!!
