Rachel + Tripp before they say “I do”: D.C. Wedding Photographer, Virginia Wedding Photographer

March 21, 2012

These two.   Aww these two!!  Rachel, like most of my brides, came as a referral from a fabulous hair and makeup team I had the opportunity to work with on a wedding last year.  I love how word of mouth just travels!  Anyway, she called and was wondering if I could shoot her wedding in October and unfortunately, I was already booked for her date 🙁  I really wish I could duplicate myself like Hugh Jackman in the Prestige.  I mean how cool would that be if I could shoot every wedding that I wanted too?!?  But then I’d have all those tanks to keep and well, that would just be a mess.  I digress…

I really enjoyed getting know these two.  Their love is true and genuine.  They are sincerely some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  They are both from the south and perhaps that’s part of what makes them so charming.  They met 4 years ago and have finally decided to seal the deal and get married.  I am sure their Virginia fall wedding will be beautiful! If you are looking at a wedding date in 2013 and would like to have me as your photographer, I am currently booking 2013 dates and some are already taken. Don’t put it off thinking it will still be available because unfortunately, I have had to turn away a lot of brides this year 🙁 I have a few dates still open for 2012 so call me to see what is available if you were hoping to get me this year.

Because I liked every single photo I shot during this session, it was really hard to narrow it down.  So there is a lot to see, hence the video compilation because I just couldn’t leave anything out.  And the video compilation is something they will get on their c.d. so they can use it for their wedding if they so choose.

Enjoy!  And if you leave them 20 comments, they will win a complimentary 11×14 metallic print from their e-session.

Trip, you did good!  Loved her oval diamond ring.
