Great things have been happening here over that last couple of months.\u00a0 First off, I won two wedding photography awards.\u00a0 The first was the Knot’s<\/span><\/a> best pick of weddings, which includes the top 1 % of wedding photographers in the country.\u00a0 The second award was Wedding Wire’s Couple’s Choice Award for 2014, which also recognizes the top performing wedding photographers.\u00a0 And as if that wasn’t enough, I found out that a wedding I photographed this past fall will be in the fall issue of the Knot<\/span><\/a> Magazine.\u00a0 Needless to say, I am feeling so blessed and grateful for these recognitions.\u00a0 I know I couldn’t have done any of this without the wonderful couples I get to capture.\u00a0 I just want to thank you guys for being so rad and having me be a part of your day.\u00a0 It truly is awesome!!<\/p>\n

The very first thing wonderful thing of 2014 was John and Chrissy’s wedding.\u00a0 Their wedding took place at the very beginning of January, just after Christmas amidst snow on the ground.\u00a0 Here in Virginia we have had an over abundance of snow but I can tell you that it does make for some beautiful wedding photography.\u00a0 I absolutely loved every part of their wedding.\u00a0 Chrissy is the little sister of one of my brides from 2012, Joanna, and I love witnessing life events from the same family.\u00a0 It’s such a special experience.\u00a0 John and Chrissy are probably the most in sync couple I have ever worked with.\u00a0 They are giddy and so happy around each other.\u00a0 They have that fresh high school love still going strong and everyone who is around them knows exactly what I’m talking about.\u00a0 They were married by Chrissy grandfather at the Church of the Nativity in Burke.\u00a0 After their ceremony, we headed over to Burke Lake for some formal portraits, which was amazing covered in snow.\u00a0 Lastly we headed over to T<\/span><\/a>he Waterford<\/span><\/a> for their reception and it was my first time photographing there.\u00a0 It was such a lovely indoor venue.\u00a0 Once the party started, there was no stopping.\u00a0 It was way too much fun, but such a great way to start the new year.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n
