Over the summer we went to Vancouver for Meghan and Casey’s wedding. We loved everything about Vancouver and would be happy to return - during the summer! We spent about a week there, mostly with M + C and their family and friends. We hiked, beer bar crawled, ate - a lot and enjoyed quality time with friends. On their wedding day, everything was simply perfect and many great moments were shared.
We’re trying something a little new, there are two mini galleries below that you need to click the arrows to see the next image.

Going to Guatemala always feels a little bit like going home. Especially when it's to spend multiple days at a wedding with extraordinary people. Leigh and Rob (aka 'LeRob') never stop laughing and it's totally infectious! Their family and friends are full of life and love and they took us in as one of their own without hesitation. As always, Antigua held up it's end of the bargain with good people, great weather, and Unesco World Heritage level beauty. Check out the results of our 3 day adventure below - and please pardon the longer than usual blog post!
We met these two at Patrick's sister's wedding back in 2015 and instantly had a crush on them. They weren't engaged at the time, nor do they live in DC but we told them we want to photograph their wedding. Fortunately for us, once they were engaged they reached out to make it official. This was our second time in Michigan and spending 4 days with them felt just like being with family.
On the wedding day, we had the opportunity to travel to a few different locations within the Ann Arbor area. They both got ready and had their first look at Weber's Ann Arbor Hotel and we did a few photos at the park nearby. We then headed to the church where Patrick grew up for the ceremony in Hudson. The reception was the beautiful Nixon Farm where we stopped along the way in a turnip field (yellow flowers) for a few fun portraits. The rest of the evening was spent with fun loving family and friends and some crazy dancing. We've provided a bit of photographic evidence below. Enjoy!

We’ve been on a long journey with Neva. We developed a friendship about 7 years ago while working closely together at BCG. I happened to be in the midst of planning my wedding so she was privy to much more than a new friend normally would be. She was single and working hard to support her two young girls and we did a few (adorable) photoshoots for them. She said that if she ever got married again, Lionel and I would be her photographers. It turns out that one of the things that BCG does best is recruit really interesting and intelligent people. As a result, it’s no surprise that office romances spring up on a regular basis. Neva soon met Geoff at work - a cerebral, caring person with a heavy dose of a unique sort of dry humor that fits together with Neva perfectly. Soon after, I left BCG to pursue photography full-time, and Neva and Geoff moved to California. While we weren’t as connected as before, we were on each others’ radar and when Geoff proposed, true to her word, Neva got in touch. She told me of a grand plan for this incredible wedding in Scotland where the girls would wear her clan tartan at a castle on a cliff edge that had been the seat of her ancestors. Lionel and I salivated accordingly. A lot happened after that which could easily have put an end to this dream wedding in Scotland, including the birth of William, Neva and Geoff’s darling baby boy and a backyard wedding. However, against all odds, we all flew to Scotland in early April this year and dreams did come true.
It’s hard to say what we loved most, as this trip exceeded every one of our expectations. However, what left us most fulfilled was experiencing what a beautiful family Geoff and Neva have made together. Geoff adores Neva’s girls with all that he is and they love him in return. You would never imagine that he is not their father, and that his parents are not their grandparents. Their connections are permanent and real…. they just all go together with nothing out of place. As you will see in the images below, we got incredibly lucky with the weather, the locations, the beauty of… well everything and everyone…. But the real magic was in this incredible group of people and witnessing their love and fun and care for one another. Thank you so much, Neva and Goeff, and all your amazing family and friends, for making us a part of something so special. We love you!
