Steve + Tif - Northern Virginia Wedding

It is truly a privilege to be invited to spend the day with a couple and capture all the special moments from their wedding day. When the couple is practically family, like they were from the wedding this past weekend at the Morrison House in Alexandria - it’s beyond an honor to be the people they choose to document those memories.

I first met the groom Steve, when he was my boss many years ago. Jimmy and I both worked with him over the years, socialized with him, listened to countless stories of his military days (he was in the 519 if you didn’t know), got to know his family, and our girls were even in his daughter Hannah’s wedding. And after meeting Tif now, it feels like she was always meant to be right there with us too! Seeing how happy the two of them make each other is heartwarming and you can see the love in all of their photos.

We dodged another rain forecast, and were able to capture some beautiful shots on the stairs of the Morrison House and with Steve’s classic Mercedes, Gertie. Steve and Tif were STUNNING and looked like something right out of a magazine! We were lucky enough to witness an amazing ceremony filled with love, tears, lots of laughs, and a string quartet! The intimate reception which followed seemed like the perfect way to start the rest of Steve and Tif’s life together.

Steve and Tif - you deserve all of this happiness and so much more!

AJ + Meredith - The Oaks Waterfront Inn

Congratulations to AJ and Meredith, who said “I Do” last Friday at The Oaks Waterfront Inn in Easton, Maryland!

Every wedding we are lucky enough to be a part of, always have one thing in common- they are the result of TONS of planning. But the greatest part is to see how absolutely perfect the day still is, even when plans don’t work out exactly as they were meant to. AJ and Meredith literally weathered the storm during their ceremony, but the rain couldn’t even begin to overshadow their love! And when the clouds passed in time for us to capture all their beautiful portraits afterwards, we got to take full advantage of their amazing wedding venue. 

We first met the lovely bride and groom in 2015, when AJ was a groomsmen for another one of our stunning couples. It really is just the greatest thing ever, and such a honor, to be able to see some of those same guests years later, celebrating again! 

The picturesque location, gorgeous flowers, personalized details, groups of laughing friends, generations of family, and the love you could see each time the bride and groom looked at each other- just made it a day we will always remember. Meredith and AJ- thanks for “Spicing Up” our 2019 wedding season!

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
