Vinny + Megan| Strong Mansion Wedding photos| Sugarloaf Mountain Wedding | Maryland Wedding Photographer

---

From the moment Megan contacted us to photograph her and her Hubby's wedding photos in Strong Mansion Maryland, we were extremely excited! Although we have done shoots like this before, we were so excited because we were just thinking how we havent had one this year. It rained cats and dogs on this gorgeous couple's wedding day, and they unfortunately were unable to get the wedding portraits they wanted with their previous photographer. She explained what exactly she was looking for and was so sweet through out our emails back and forth! We kept counting down the days for this shoot, and almost got discouraged when we checked the weather forecast and saw that it was to rain AGAIN on their session date. . 

We could tell Megan was pretty bummed by this, but we encouraged her to keep hope alive!  We were still about a week and half out so the weather could change, and even if it didnt we can always reschedule. But boy are we glad we waited before we rescheduled, because the weather, sun rays and everything was just PERFECT! We couldnt have asked for a better evening and a better couple to photograph! 

They were high school sweethearts and their schools prom king and queen, been together for 12 years and have been married for a month and few days now, yet they are still over each other like honeymooners! They honestly look like they belong in a fairy tale story book with Strong Mansion as their castle and Sugarloaf Mountain as the kingdom they rule, hahaha! 

We are firm believers in the saying "everything happens for a reason" and cant imagine not meeting these two and taking these images. We are so thankful to the rain that fell on their wedding day, because if it didn't , we wouldn't have met this amazingly sweet and stunning couple! We know we say this for every couple, but truly God has blessed us with amazing couples that make our "job" SO EASY!

We wish a Happily Ever After to our real life Disney Prince & Princess! haha ;) 

Jimmy + Lauren| Le Meridien Hotel Wedding , Arlington Virginia | Virginia Wedding photographer

You know those people you instantly click with from the beginning, even at times without meeting them face-to-face, you just click and you dont know why, but you just do? That was Lauren and Jimmy. From consultation to their wedding day Lauren literally was the sweetest bride any photographer can ask for. It was one of those situations where we understood each other without having to say much. She told us the plans she had for her wedding and instantly we understood her vision and planned accordingly. The unwavering trust and love that Lauren and Jimmy had in our work and creativity, are honestly what lead to the beautiful images you see in this blog. These two by just being themselves created the most relaxed and sweet atmosphere to be around. They along with their loved ones were so trusting in our directions and made our "job" unfathomably easy and fun!  

Not only are they an absolutely stunning couple, but the sweet and playful love these two have for each other is so evident and shows in their photos. Their entire wedding day took place at the Le Meridian Hotel in Arlington Virginia. Where they got ready in separate suites, followed by an elegant ceremony on the hotel's rooftop pavilion, then partied the night away with a classy reception turn-up. The night was later concluded as Jimmy and Lauren ended their day with a timeless sparkler exit.  Their wedding day embodied the definition of elegance, classy, and timeless! :) 

What better way to wait for your bride and her girls while they get ready, than to play a quick game of air football. Hahaha! It was too funny to watch. 

Joseph + Sterling| Washington DC Wedding photographer| Mason and Rook Hotel Wedding Photos | War Memorial Wedding Photos

You've probably come across this beautiful couple's engagement session blog in rock creek park already. Therefore its already been established that this couple is not only beautiful but adorably sweet with one another (If you haven't read their engagement blog yet, you're definitely missing out, but no worries we got you covered and you can view it first by clicking  this link:). But please believe us when we say that nothing could have prepared us for the emotion filled, love centered, laidback wedding day these two had. 

Remember in the engagement blog when we said Sterling's approach to her wedding was hitting the easy-button on her wedding day. Their entire wedding day felt just like that, in the best way possible! We cant describe how relaxed we felt. Their wedding day started with sterling and her closet friends getting ready with her in her suite at the Kimpton Mason & Rook Hotel. When we opened the door to Sterling's suite we immediately felt all the good and chilled vibes coming our way. Maybe it was the champagne or the good vibes music they had playing, but whatever it was, helped set the tone for the day. While I (Anna) was photographing the bride and her friends toasting to the good life and getting ready, Liz was at Joseph's apartment photographing him and his closest friends helping him get ready and pose as the GQ insider he looked like.  

When they were done getting ready Sterling met up with Joseph on the top deck where they had their first look.  After the first look everyone headed to the War Memorial in Washington DC for their wedding ceremony, where they along with 100 of their closets friends and family gathered around and witnessed them promise forever to each other. As soon as their ceremony ended, the sun began to set,so we quickly pulled them aside one last time for them enjoy their first sunset as husband and wife together, and it was amazing! We then headed over to Agora Restaurant in Washington dc where they had their epic reception and danced the night away with their loved ones! *Can still hear Macklemore & Ryan Lewis- Can't Hold us-FEAT Ray Dalton* It was an amazing day and we thoroughly enjoyed every single part of it! We hope you enjoy viewing this blog! :)
