Today marked my third “big” wedding of 2020! And I honestly felt like I was a new photographer all over again. Instead of a consolidated day, I had another 8-hour day! It felt foreign at first, but I quickly got into the groove. Right after COVID came, I received an email from this couple’s wedding […]

Their April wedding then turned into a September date and then finally May of 2021. BUT, they decided to get married with a select number of friends and family and planned for a later celebration because they couldn’t wait. And I didn’t blame them one bit. I actually encouraged this from the get-go.

Sticking to their second date – and their ceremony venue – Jasmine and Andrew said I-do in Jasmine’s childhood church.

Like so many couples in 2020, Dawne and John were greatly affected by COVID restrictions and venue restrictions. They decided to stick with their original wedding date in May after postponing it to September. We all thought for the best, right?

Surrounded by family and their bridal party, these two said I-do and feasted on all their favorite foods after their wedding. Can’t wait for next year’s celebration and looking forward to Chick-fil-a as a late night bite with them 🙂

We started near the historic ruins then we went to the waterfront for photos. This is one of my absolute favorite engagement sessions from the year. Holly’s dress from Azazie gave me all the heart eyes and was the perfect pop to the green background.

Since Alexandria is a city so near and dear to these two – and they wanted that historic vibe – we met up near the Waterfront and made our way around a couple of blocks and wrapped up near the arena. Their Old Town Alexandria engagement session turned out to be everything Cat wanted: greenery with cobblestone.

Like many couples, Kelly and Nick planned for a bigger celebration at a later date, but COVID proved to not go away the way we had hoped. 

They mustered through and decided on a smaller celebration instead of a bigger one. Surrounded by closest friends and family, these two had a gorgeous picture session with dinner to follow.

Danielle and Ruben decided on forever mid-July and postponed their bigger wedding celebration until next year. Completely with a first look, these two started their day together and walked into the start of their new beginning as husband and wife.

We made it. That is all I can say. After multiple reschedules and plans, we made it. They made it. And what a ride. We drove forever to find that parking spot. And Julianna met Kevin. Julianna and Kevin pledged forever by themselves (and myself and a squirrel!) at the War Memorial on June 19th. […]

A couple of things about this couple: (1) Ask Jess about ladybugs (2) Ask Andrew how he says mozzarella. This adorable duo met on Coffee Meets Bagel and I am already counting down the days to their White Hall Estate wedding next May! Congratulations, Jessica and Andrew! Next year is gonna be amazing.
