It’s that time of year when photographers fluff up their blogs with “best of” posts and I’m not above that either! It’s been a wild and crazy year and as I’ve mentioned, I’m grateful for my fabulous clients who trust me to give them the images they hope for and to stay out of the way (with camera at the ready) when they’re trying to have a moment on their wedding day. I’m grateful to wedding photography community at large, which continues to impress me with its friendliness and lack of paranoia about competition, and to all the amazing photographers who have given me so many opportunities to learn and grow. And jeesh I could go on and on and on. It’s been a really, really good year.
I’ve been doing a lot of driving up to Brookside Gardens recently! But it’s no wonder, since it’s such a beautiful, serene place. So when Joe called me up to do a last-minute engagement session, it was the first place to pop into my head and was completely fitting for this fun, easy-going couple. They’re getting married next weekend and so are busy, busy with planning. Congratulations you two and have fun on your big day!
Stephanie and Colin are dandy. Some couples are sexy, some cutesy, some serious – but these folks, they’re dandy, I decided at their portrait session today at Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria, VA. For instance, check out their awesome getup. Our theme was “picnic in France,” which I truly believe fits these two perfectly. They totally pull off the “Anthropologie” look. Okay, we’ll modify: stylish and dandy. I’m terribly impatient, so I’m already posting a sneak peek. I’ll have a full post up soon!
