Stephanie & Jesse | Westin Dulles Wedding
The image above means everything to us. It was one of those moments that reminded us why we love our jobs and are thankful for the opportunity we have to document weddings for our couples.
Aside from the bit of rain that forced the ceremony indoors, their day was full of good energy, emotion and beauty. It also was very relaxed and tons of fun. Stephanie and Jesse are very easy going and have a great sense of humor. Not to mention we watch all the same shows. Though we had only hung out with them two times before the wedding we felt like close friends. When we arrived at the wedding we were warmly welcomed by bridal party, family and guests alike. It made for such an intimate day that was such a pleasure for us to be part.
Please enjoy some of our favorites below.

Sarah & Jason | Wedding at Spring Hill Manor in Rising Sun, Md
Marisa & Josh | Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Wedding
Marisa and Josh had a late October wedding on one the most beautiful days last fall. These two are such a great couple together. We just loved spending the day with them and capturing the love, fun and energy of their family and friends. There were many highlights for us but the one that stood out the most was when Marisa's sister gave her toast. She rapped to the tune of Fresh Prince of Bel Air! It was a totally unexpected moment as she kept it a surprise from everyone. The crowd erupted and it set the tone for the rest of the reception which was punctuated by excellent music by the band Amsterdam and some insane dancing.

Sarah + Jon | Cylburn Arboretum wedding
Sarah and Jon simply had a phenomenal day.
We feel fortunate we were lucky enough to tell their story through our images. We go on and on about great families, friends and moments but these two truly nailed it. We were excited and impressed when we saw them walk down the aisle together, there was something reassuring about it. Kristiaan and I found ourselves loving each and every interaction with their parents and grandparents throughout the day. Just look below to see what we mean. One of our favorite parts of the day was when Jon's dad serenaded them, with harmonica + guitar, instead of just giving a toast. We laughed and cried along with the rest of the guests throughout the toasts and were pleasantly surprised by the fun and wild dancing for the remainder of the reception.
