I wish I could share the full gallery of this wedding with you all, but out of respect for the privacy of my clients, I'm going to do the Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds version. This ceremony was held at Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, Virginia. The day was beautiful and perfect for a fall wedding. This wedding was somewhat of a last minute adventure. The bride contacted me just a few weeks before her wedding. Her family was visiting from over seas and it seemed like the perfect time to hold …

I hope this Friday blog post finds all of you well! It seems like I have been playing catch up ever since the holidays finished up and I have been wanting to share these beauties since I first shot them after Christmas.

So many amazing spots to choose from and we didn't even shoot at all of …
