Dani + Evan / Briar Patch Wedding Virginia

It almost didn’t work out.

Dani emailed me asking if I was available to shoot her wedding on a day I was supposed to be in Hawaii.

But something came through in her email. Her story, about her and Evan, and their wedding plans. And her passion. Not just for her wedding plans and for her family, but to have me there to photograph the day. There was no way I could say no. So I changed my plans, I came back from Hawaii early, and we made it work.

And I’m so glad I did.

Dani and Evan, I can’t thank you enough for having me be a part of your day.

Published / A Thank You Note 2011

I haven’t had a chance to reflect on all of 2011 just yet.

There are still weddings and shoots from this fall that I haven’t been able to share. This is just a simple note to some people that deserve it. To my friends, my fellow photographers, the wonderful blogs who have supported and encouraged me, and helped share my work with people. To the people that have asked me to share things with them.

And mostly, to my wonderful couples who put their trust in me. You’ve asked me to share your wedding day with you and to leave you and your families with the way I saw the day.

I cannot thank you enough for that. It has meant the world to me.

More than you know.

Sometime after the holidays I’ll put together some of my favorite images from the year. For now, here’s a few places my work has been featured over the past few months.

Kimmy + Chillys Rustic Wedding on Wedding Chicks

Kristen + Danny’s Outer Banks Destination Wedding on Snippet & Ink

Maria + James Annapolis Wedding on Green Wedding Shoes

Mariella + Sean’s DC Courthouse Wedding on Ruffled Blog

Leigh + Javier W Hotel DC Wedding on Style Me Pretty

Jenny + Keith’s Vintage Virginia Wedding on Ruffled Blog

Tabitha + David Sailboat Engagement on Southern Weddings

Maria + James Roadtrip Engagement on Green Wedding Shoes

Bree + Andy’s Rustic Session on Wedding Chicks
