Warrenton Virgina Molon Lave Vineyard Wedding (Tessa & Mike)

Tessa and Mike live out in Virgina, and flew me out there for their wedding in Warrenton at the Molon Lave Vineyards! It was typical Virgina weather- first it was sunny, rabid humid, and then it poured down rain so hard I probably would have gotten bruises had a member of the bridal party not found me an umbrella in the nick of time! It's been awhile since we've had one of these, but Tessa and Mike had a traditional church wedding at St. John the Evangelist's!





  






   

























       

   



















Tess and Mike were good sports and took one picture without an umbrella, LOL, but Mike was anxious to go grab it again!




   

                  

Ocean Beach & Queen Wilhelmina Windmill Gardens Engagement in San Francisco (Kim & Gardner)

Kim and Gardner have been together for a very long time. The live in one of the coolest locations in the Bay Area, right on Ocean Beach! I literally walked from their home parking lot across the street to the ocean. How amazing is that? We also did a little meandering over to the windmill at the Queen Wilhelmina Gardens.

K&G did exactly what I want all of my couples to do... shoot their session in a location that is comfortable for them, is meaningful, and maybe even feels a little like home. We hit that on the head and because of it, Kim and Gard has a beautiful, silly, snuggly, happy session and I am so delighted with the results!




   

                  

Du Pont Circle Engagement in Washington DC (Rachel & Ray)

Rachel is one of those brides that I just had instant chemistry with and just LOVED! Rachel is an attorney, and met Ray at an accounting firm where they were working at together in DC. They both flew in from across the country to re-create those special early moments from their relationship. We worked hard to make this session happen and I am so glad it worked! Together, Rachel and Ray are totally dynamite and were up for everything and anything! I think it is so important that you have trust in your relationships with your brides and I think I totally have that with Rachel and I LOVE it! I think it absolutely results in better pictures, and well, here's the proof!

(And do take note of the pink Kate Spade pumps- YES!)
