Wedding: M & C - Private Home, Bermuda

Who doesn’t love a backyard wedding? Furthermore, who doesn’t love a backyard wedding with a gorgeous water view on Memorial Day Weekend?! I first met Maddy - the founder and owner of Novah Swimwear - and Caleb at a New Years’ Eve Party at The Loren Resort, where Jim and I were working the photo booth. In the Fall of 2020, they reached out about wedding photography! Finally, the day came when Maddy & Caleb said “I do” at her parents’ house in Bermuda. Days after the wedding, the couple hosted an amazing wedding celebration on The Zara.

Wedding: Kristie & Jeremy - Annandale, VA

Who doesn’t love a “homegrown” wedding?

It’s not everyday you get to photograph your childhood friends’ wedding… and it’s certainly not everyday you get to photograph part of the wedding at your own parents’ house. For this reason, this wedding was an emotional one to capture. Kristie and I - along with her brother, Scott - grew up together. I was either down at their house or they were up at ours. We spent Saturday nights and holidays together, swam on the same teams, fished our neighborhood creek together, terrorized the neighborhood on bicycles together, and got into good-ole fashion mischief together.

When Kristie introduced us to Jeremy - I knew he was the right guy for her. After courting each other for a few years (and with a pandemic raging), they decided it was time to tie the knot. For reasons important to the bride and groom - their wedding date could not wait! For any couple who planned a 2020 wedding (and actually got married in 2020) - I think it’s fair to say that the couple’s decision to wed was not taken lightly.

 
 

Oddly enough, when I first heard of Kristie’s wedding, I already had a plane ticket in hand because I was flying home to help my folks with a “family matter”. It seemed “fate” had two reasons to bring me back in good ole Northern Virginia; one to assist my folks and two - to capture Kristie’s special day. Within a matter of weeks, Kristie and Jeremy planned a Micro “Covid Safe” Wedding; taking every precaution reasonably possible. The ceremony was held at Green Spring Gardens in our hometown of Annadale, Virginia.

Many congrats to Michi & Dan on the birth of their lovely daughter and to Frankie on his “big brother” status! I had the pleasure of photographing Dan’s proposal to Michi a few years ago at Mid Ocean Beach Club. It’s always a pleasure to capture different life events in my clients’ lives!
