“Cause baby when the ground starts shaking
you gotta know when you’ve got a good thing.”
– Lady Antebellum
I was completely obsessed with how Samantha’s hair turned out! JKW Beauty did a fabulous job!!
she and her dad were both warning the other person not to start crying… I don’t think either of them were successful :) 
these two had one of my favorite first looks ever! so sweet!
one of my all time favorite first look photos. ever ever. THIS is why it’s important to have two photographers! I love the variety Ally was able to capture during the day!
it was a super windy day, so Samatha’s veil had a mind of it’s own! you should have seen us trying to tame that thing, but man it’s SO WORTH IT for portraits like this! Cathedral length veils are truly my favorite! 
I was adjusting Samantha’s veil and showing Connor what position I wanted him in next, and it resulted in photos I adore ;) don’t mind me, guys! Safe to say, Connor and Samantha caught onto my vision no problem ;) 
truly the veil situation was a little outta control, but it kept us laughing all day! 
who needs a mirror when you’ve got aviators?!
the views at Stone Tower really can’t be beat! it was a GORGEOUS day!
while family gathered for photos, these two were able to sneak away for a quick minute:
how stunning is that cake? I loved the elegant, simple design of it! 
be still my HEART!! how adorable are these two?!
Whew I adore you both! Thank you so much for letting Ally and I be a part of your day and for inviting me in to document such special moments! It’s an honor to know and support you two! xo!

Engagement Portraits
one of the first things they mention was that all THREE of their boys would get to be there for the day! Gus was kind enough to let Rio borrow his stall :)
if you couldn’t tell, Wellington was never too far from Tory’s side ALL day long!
I love it when my couples will wait to exchange gifts once they see each other, and I bet they love getting to actually see the reaction! :)
if you haven’t heard me say it a million times before, Shadow Creek is absolutely one of my favorite venues in the area! It’s a dream to photograph every single time!
You wouldn’t believe the weather this day, and how completely PERFECT it was at any given moment. We had clouds when we needed cloud coverage. Sun when we needed it for sunset portraits. DOWNPOURS at the exact moment we had breaks scheduled for. Tory walked down the aisle to a massive downpour under a tin roof, but as soon as we needed it to calm down for people to hear the ceremony, it did. It created the most epic moment for her to walk down the aisle, and I think it’s safe to say we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! 
married!!
Just before the ceremony ended, the rain stopped and the sun same out, with that perfect balance of glow and overcast skies that are ideal for photos! Like I said, we couldn’t have planned it better if we’d tried! 
even Rio got to come join the party for a few minutes!
like I said, Wellington was never far away no matter WHERE she was ;) 
being the good boy that he is, and staying right where he was told to :)
Congratulations to you both! Hope you’re having the BEST honeymoon! 
Think he was excited to see her?! :) Love this shot from their first look!
We even found one house that matched their colors perfectly with those blues and pinks!
They were married at Engine Company 12 right in DC and it was the coolest backdrop for their day and all of these portraits! So much character, and i loved all the exposed brick inside!
Theses next two are two of my favorite portraits from their whole day!
and because they did a first look and we were able to accomplish everything before the ceremony, we got to really enjoy their full cocktail hour, and I was able to sneak in some fun portraits for so many of their guests!
Dinner is served!! YUM!
Dessert wasn’t too bad either! ;)
Thank you both so much for letting us be a part of your day! Congratulations!! xo!
her sweet curls are my favorite!
