Brittney & Nathan were easily the most carefree and worry free couple I have ever worked with.\u00a0 I knew that Brittney’s wedding was going to be spectacular.\u00a0 I stalked her and her mother’s pinterest boards and I also knew they hired one of the preeminent florists in the area, Holly Chapple<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 Brittney’s mom also works at my daughter’s school so I would hear little updates once in a while from my daughter.\u00a0 Leading up to the wedding I remember talking to Brittney and she was so calm about everything and seemed very confident that everything would go well.\u00a0 I have never worked with a more relaxed bride!\u00a0 The day of the wedding, the weather was perfect but it was also the day of the Lucketts flea market, which could have posed a problem for traffic.\u00a0 As good luck and back roads would have it, we arrived with plenty of time to spare.\u00a0 I always prefer getting to my weddings early.\u00a0 It allows me the chance to capture scenic shots and take in the venue, which in this case was Riverside on the Potomac<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 This was my second wedding at Riverside and it did not disappoint.\u00a0 The weather was absolutely perfect and the wedding day progressed as smoothly as ever.<\/p>\n

The bride’s father created a gorgeous focal point for the ceremony made of antique doors with a scripture verse above them.\u00a0 Holly Chapple accented these with a gorgeous spray of flowers.\u00a0 When I saw the handiwork of these two together, it was jaw dropping.\u00a0 Then as I proceeded to the reception space, it became something right out of a pinterest dream.\u00a0 The flowers and the decorations complemented each other so perfectly.\u00a0 The over abundance of peonies didn’t hurt either \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Before the ceremony began, we decided to do something a little different and we had a first look for the parents of the bride.\u00a0 Her bridesmaids surrounded her to keep her hidden.\u00a0 It was a poignant moment for Brittney’s dad where he choked up and knew his little girl would soon be a Mrs.\u00a0 These moments at a wedding are what I live for!<\/p>\n

The weather cooperated with us and we were able to capture some gorgeous shots that I know they will cherish forever.\u00a0 Congratulations Brittney & Nathan!<\/p>\n
