Neva & Geoff | Dunnotar Castle Wedding in Scotland
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!
Leigh & Rob | Federal Hill Engagement session
Leigh are Rob are simply amazing! They are a super fun loving dancing happy couple that are getting married in Antigua Guatemala. For us its a match made in heaven. They wanted their photos to feel like home so we photographed them in Federal Hill on a perfect summer day. As you can see from the images they totally live up to the first two sentences.
Enjoy and have a safe weekend!
Selena + Kawone | Dumbo Loft New York Wedding
Selena & Kawone were introduced to us through a friend and client of ours. We hit it off immediately, from our first phone call, which we, strangely enough, had to do in an Adams Morgan alley, to the first time we met them the weekend of their wedding.
Selena and Kawone had their wedding in New York at the iconic Dumbo Loft located on the north end of Brooklyn. They live in Atlanta but Brooklyn is home. She loves running and traveling, he loves great music, a good cocktail, and Van Damme movies. Their November wedding day was surprisingly warm for NYC and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We had their first look on the Brooklyn Bridge, on a Friday, at rush hour - that was an experience but we made it work. Their ceremony and reception at the Dumbo Loft were simply perfect. Great friends, great food and drinks, a few tears and some serious partying.
Huge thanks to all the vendors that helped make the day possible especially the team of Erganic Design!
Bonus - we did a mini day-after session, make sure you check out those last images at the bottom!
And now for some day-after images...
Jenna & Mitch | Georgetown Engagement Session
We met Jenna a few years ago at her sister Lacey's wedding which was nothing short of amazing. So we were beyond thrilled when she got engaged to Mitch and reached out to us to photograph their wedding. We had a perfect spring day walking the streets of Georgetown and ending our session at the Top of the Gate.
Enjoy some of our favorites below.
