Wedding: M & S - Fairfax, Virginia
This wedding was extra special for me to photograph because the bride - who is also named Melanie - and I have been best friends since we were four years old. From the moment Melanie introduced me to her then boyfriend Shane, I had a hunch they would walk down the aisle together; they just seemed to “radiate” happiness when they were around each other.

From the moment Melanie introduced me to her then boyfriend Shane, I had a hunch they would walk down the aisle together; they just seemed to “radiate” happiness when they were around each other. With Shane being from Texas and Melanie hailing from Virginia - the couple chose a Western theme. The bride and groom got ready at the St. Regis in Tysons Corner, Virginia, tied the knot at Oakton’s United Methodist Church, and held their reception at Historic Blenheim in Fairfax.

I had the pleasure of capuring their full day and towards the end of the night, it was hard for me to pull the camera away from the dance floor!

Elopement: A & N - Rosewood, St. Peter's Church, and aboard "The Zara"
With their parents and brothers by their side, Alana & Neil - also known as “The Brits” - eloped on the tiny island of Bermuda. After getting ready at Rosewood Bermuda, they had their ceremony at St. Peter’s Church in thie historic town of St. George’s. As they were keeping their special day small, Alana said they opted for a few extras: an antique car to go to and from the ceremony along with live musicians: an organ player, spanish guitar player, and violinist. After they said “we do”, the party continued aboard The Zara for a sunset cruise. Followed by a stunning dinner at Rosewood Bermuda’s Rum Room. A very special congrats to the newlyweds!

Elopement: City of Hamilton, Bermuda - K & O
K & O flew over to Bermuda from the UK to tie the knot with only their “parents in tow”. K had lived in Bermuda as a young girl and the island has always been a special location for her and her family. After getting ready together at the Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort and Spa - we made our way to the Registrar General’s Office for the ceremony. Smiling from ear to ear, the couple said “we do”. From there, we walked to Queen Elizabeth Par-la-Ville Park and Barr’s Bay Park for photos.

Engagement: B & H - Rosewood Bermuda
When Bridget & Hunter first reached out to me they said, “We’d love to have our engagement photos taken inside a bar that has a vintage style”. My reply, “You’ve come to the right photographer”. This engagement session was just the start of our “photo/client” relationship. I also had the honor of capturing their Welcome Dinner (here) and their Wedding (here) - all at lovely Rosewood Bermuda.
