Lauren & Brian, A Winter Wedding: Virginia Wedding Photographer

January 31, 2013

I am back from my St. Maarten wedding and ready to blog some of my December weddings.  This one was surprisingly green for December.  I loved that the groom couldn’t keep his eyes off the bride most of the time.  He is completely smitten and she is so incredibly happy.  These two were such a dream to photograph.  I also loved that the wedding photography went into the evening and we got to play around with some off camera flash.  I love shooting with the off camera flash at night.  It can create such dramatic captures.

I loved the flowers for this wedding done by one of my favorite floral designers, Laura Williams of Loda Floral Design.  Her work is always so dependable and just simply beautiful.

Please leave them some blog love and if they get 20 unique comments on the blog, they’ll win a complimentary 11×14 metallic print!

Proud father moment.My assistant, Crystal, got so many lovely shots this wedding.  I love that she can catch one angle, while I get an entirely different one.   And it was also super windy too, but hey, she totally worked it! Laura!  Love, love, love this bouquet! Love my happy brides!

    These are beautiful Lauren! Tyler has been following photographers for years and says that he really likes yours (I think I’ve only heard him say that twice). Nice choice! And of course, she had gorgeous subjects, which always makes it better.
    I love that we were there within a few days of eachother (my brother’s wedding). I hope it wasn’t as cold for you guys…if it was, you did a great job hiding it!
    Hope you get that print 😉

    These are awesome!! You two are definitely great in front of the camera….. and the photography was really good too. Some times I am too critical but that is definitely not the case here.
