Reese + Dan - Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer

Where to begin...we got super lucky with this wedding. See I always try and meet my brides before they book with me, but this time it just wasn't in the cards as Reese and Dan live in San Diego. She is the sister of a friend of my brothers...so when she contacted me I set up a phone call. And guess what...I knew it was going to be awesome from the start as she is a Salisbury grad too!! 

Jimmy and I went into this wedding not knowing a lot of what to expect and we both agree it was one of our favorite weddings ever. Simple, it was simple and perfect and fit Reese and Dan to a T. No hair dressers, no make-up artists (except for Mom!), nothing too fancy or over the top...but simply gorgeous. They were married by a good friend, toasted by other great friends and spent the night celebrating with all of the important people in their lives.

Some of these pics are my favorite...enjoy...

Reese and Dan -- thanks for taking a chance on us. We were beyond thrilled with meeting you and getting to spend your wedding day with you. Hope you had an amazing time in Australia!

xoxo-

Carrie & Jimmy

Pamela + Justin - Hill Wedding - MD Wedding Photographer

Pamela and Justin had the most beautiful day for their wedding at the amazing Musket Ridge in Myersville Maryland. The sun was shining, the temperature was perfect, the guests had an amazing time and the dancing was on point. Not only did Pam and Justin choreograph their first dance...but also their last dance too!!

So many people and so many details made this day one to remember for everyone involved. But the most important thing is the love between Pam and Justin - you could just feel it - all day long.

Pam & Justin - thanks so much for allowing us to be a part of your special day!! Enjoy your sneak peek!!

::What Justin Loves About Pamela::

I love her enthusiasm about life and her creativity. I love her beautiful eyes and smile, they way her hair moves. I love her soft cheeks and her desire to care for everybody. I love the way she interacts with kids and how sensitive she is. I love the way she fits so perfectly in my arms. I love how she wants to be a part of every piece of my life.

::Pamela's Favorite Things About Their Wedding::

Seeing Justin for the first time, having our first dance, and seeing my dad before walking down the aisle.

::What Pamela Thought When She Saw Justin at the Alter::

HE IS SO HANDSOME! I can't wait to get down there to him. He is so perfect. I am ready to call the man of my dreams my HUSBAND!

::What Justin Thought When He Saw Pamela Walking Down the Aisle::

Pure amazement that I could be marrying someone so perfect and amazing as her. The radiating beauty and excitement she was emitting. I felt the love she and I shared would and could never fail. I felt I needed her in my life and could never be happy without her.

::Pamela's Most Memorable Moment of the Day::

Performing the sand ceremony and putting on the rings. Who knew pouring sand into a frame could be so difficult! But it was certainly fun. It was definitely a struggle putting his ring on. It took all my strength but I managed.

::Favorite Moment of Their Wedding Day as a Couple::

The kiss to seal our bond and our first dance. The kiss was absolutely perfect the way Justin grabbed my cheeks and our dance was unique just like our relationship with endless potential.

::Justin's Favorite Reception Moment::

Walking into the reception room for the first time with my WIFE and enjoying our first dance together as a married couple.

::What Pamela Loves About Justin::

EVERYTHING! His smile was the first thing that caught my eye many years ago, and it is still the one thing I love to see. When he’s happy, so am I. He is very intelligent, and I love when he starts talking to me about everything he knows. I listen, but usually I am just so amazed by the amount of knowledge he has that I can’t truly focus. I love the way he looks at me and holds me. I love how compassionate and caring he is. I love that he likes to help cook dinner. He is an amazing man and I truly love HIM.

::Justin's Most Memorable Moment of the Day::

Being able to view the most amazing sunset on the most amazing day with the most amazing person.

::Pamela's Favorite Reception Moment::

Watching Justin toss the garter. Who knew it would take 3 tries!! It really made me laugh.

::Justin's Favorite Things About Their Wedding::

Everyone enjoying themselves, our first dance together as a married couple, and seeing my beautiful bride come down the aisle.
