A snowy wedding is coming to the blog very soon!

This is Elizabeth. Two weeks ago, she married her best friend. Love this shot on the left by my second shooter, Sarah.

Dear Chad, Come Monday, I’ll have been married to you for one year. I’m so blessed to be life partners with you. One year ago, I stood in front of a Manassas manor home and promised to love and honor you until “one of us shall lay the other in the arms of God.” I’m […]
