i’ll stay and i’ll grow gray with you, uh huh
yeah i put on that white dress for you, uh huh”

it was literally the perfect day. perfect weather. incredible people. a beautiful location. the best mix of fun and emotion. they laughed all day long, which made my job super easy :) their families and wedding party made us feel at home right away, and i can’t count how many times during the reception i looked at the two of them and said to katie, “gosh they are just so FUN!” i can tell that their marriage is going to be one filled with laughter every day :) congratulations to you both! thanks for letting us come celebrate with you! xo!
love this shot of caroline and her sweet momma:
she did a “first look” of sorts with her bridesmaids, and it’s safe to say their reaction did not disappoint! :) especially when they found out her dress had pockets!!
ladies, i adore you all!! consider this my formal request to photograph each of your weddings when that day comes! please and thank you! ;) 
i was so thrilled when i saw caroline gown and cathedral length veil! those are my faaaaavorite to photograph! :)
lookin’ so dapper, sir! 
they were being ring “bears”, if it wasn’t totally obvious ;) 
they were married in bethany united methodist church in purcellville, and it was the most charming church for their ceremony!
high fives all around! ;) 
kisses on the nose are my fav :)
then we headed over to whitehall manor for the reception!
my favorite favorite favorite from their day! 
their mother/son dance was pretty epic, to say the least :) 
man oh man, this guy was a dancing machine! he was cracking me up all night long! 
apparently this was the first time cody’s grandparents had ever come out onto a dance floor, and everyone stopped what they were doing to join in! :)
i completely adore you, sweet lady!
