I thought he was joking, but then why would he be joking about that? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I turned on CNN and there it was, the first tower of the World Trade Center on fire. I was not sure what this meant and what was happening and then it happened, another plane struck the second …

Penny + Matt Married at Stoneleigh Golf & Country Club: Virginia Wedding Photographer
Penny & Matt were some of the most fun clients I have ever worked with. I met them through a recommendation from Stoneleigh.

Vendor Love, Kelley Truxel of Event Studio: Virginia Wedding Photographer
I have been wanting to work with this vendor for such a long time. Kelley Truxel of Event Studios is the genius behind some of the most beautiful wedding decorations and florals I have ever seen. I love everything she does. When one of my brides needed a recommendation for an event florist & designer, without hesitation I sent her on over to Event Studio. The nice thing about a professional florist/ decorator is that it takes such a weight off the bride's shoulders and you know that the …
