Aimee & Richard: Married! | Sneak Peek

Aimee and Richard absolutely destroyed it yesterday at their amazing DIY wedding up in Monkton, MD.  The setting was so beautiful and the families and friends so warm and happy, I doubt anyone noticed the mugginess.  That is to say,  you guys do a really great job of pretending you're not sweaty. Congratulations!! black and white photographs of bride and groom light painting at wedding in northern maryland

Aimee & Richard: Engaged! | Dumbarton Oaks

I'm so excited for Aimee and Richard's wedding.  The more I hear about it, the more it sounds exactly like the wedding I was planning with my husband, before we decided to ditch the whole thing and go to Vegas.  They're going to have s'mores and kegs and mason jar centerpieces... so I'm pretty much going to live vicariously through their day.  They're getting married at a summer camp, and so wanted to have some outdoorsy, pretty, "nature-y" engagement photos that would fit in well with the rest of their wedding plans. So we hit up the enchanting Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown, Washington, DC. sitting engagement photos with leaves The light on these stairs was amazing!  I have to say, I love stairs.  They're right up there with benches. Engagement photographer Amber Wilkie Richard looks particularly dashing here. portraits on the stairs at dumbarton oaks couple posing on stairs at dumbarton oaks The last time I was at Dumbarton Oaks, I completely missed these crazy vine sculpture things. They are so, so rad. funky vines with engaged couple I'm also mad about greenhouses.  What can I say, Dumbarton Oaks has everything I want in a location.  We had a lot of fun exploring the grounds, and didn't even see everything before it was time to leave. greenhouse at dumbarton oaks Beauuuuuutiful cloudy light. fun couple in dumbarton oaks under pink trellis cute couple lying on the grass in black and white wooden door engaged couple These two are so in love.  And get this.  When Richard went to propose, not only did he set up an elaborate plan to surprise Aimee, he also set up a big party for her that day - she had no idea!  I love how much thought and effort he put into delighting his lady. dumbarton oaks engagement photos black and white engagement photos with mosaic cute couple sitting on a bench at dumbarton oaks And the bling.  Nice work, Richard. engaged couple with diamond ring at dumbarton oaks I can't wait for your wedding in September!  See you guys soon!
