Tyson + Haley | Virginia Wedding Photography

One thing I love about my job is that in the process of getting to know a couple, I gain friends!  Awesome couples typically come from awesome families and  usually have fabulous friends….so in the end it’s a win-win. Tyson and Haley were no exception. They made me feel like part of the family and so comfortable. Haley was the sweetest, happiest bride (and so gorgeous). I loved how throughout the day she was truly in the moment…delighting in every detail. Of course every bride is happy on her wedding day but Haley was absolutely glowing with happiness through laughter AND tears. So sweet. Tyson and his guys are a bunch of goofballs and definitely added their own flavor to the day. The kids were so adorable and Tyson’s daughter Shelbie became my right hand lady. Maddox, Tyson and Haley’s son, stole the show more than a few times…oh my word he is the absolute cutest!! And let’s not overlook Mr. Mills in his dapper bowtie and hat!

Haley did a beautiful job planning out all the details, creating the decorations and even making all of the cupcakes. (Whaaat?!) Since she used to work at Stoneleigh Golf and Country Club she knew all the ins and outs including where to get the golf carts and the best places for photos at Hole 2. She is amazing!

All in all, it was a joyful gorgeous day and I was so honored to be there to witness this lovely couple share their love in front of family and friends. Tyson and Haley, I couldn’t be happier for you and your beautiful family. Thank you for the privilege of knowing you and capturing this special moment. XO

Jason + Grace | Maryland Wedding Photography

Jason and Grace are such a special couple. They both love the Lord and are committed to serving Him and loving others. They have big smiles and even bigger hearts and I love how God brought them together.

The day of their early June wedding was beautiful – sunny, with big puffy clouds and a lovely (if sometimes strong) breeze. The ceremony was held in Baker Park in Frederick in front of the iconic willow tree. It was a family affair with Grace’s dad performing the ceremony, her sister singing, and her brother-in-law reading a Scripture. Grace comes from a family of 6 daughters and a little brother so her 5 beautiful bridesmaids were her sisters and her brother escorted her mom. Jason does not have siblings but he was surrounded by friends-turned-brothers, partners in dance crime (ha ha) and mentors. The whole tone of the ceremony was so sweet, tender, funny, emotional and joyful. You learn things about people during their wedding from what others share.  What I heard confirmed what I already knew and suspected. Jason and Grace are perfect for each other. They are hand-picked by God to complement and strengthen one another and live a joyful life of love and service.

At the reception they danced, laughed and enjoyed being with their friends and family. Jason asked if we could take some photos by the cross outside the church building as the sun was setting. Not long after they returned from their honeymoon, an apartment near them caught fire and the damage was such that Jason and Grace lost most of their things and were displaced for many days. What a way to start married life! But what I heard from Grace was not complaining, but thankfulness and trust in God. That’s just who they are.

So…all this to say, Jason and Grace’s wedding was so beautiful. Grace looked absolutely gorgeous (I am in love with her dress!), Jason’s smile couldn’t have been bigger and it was truly an honor to witness them share their vows and start this journey together. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Whitham for having me! I pray you continue to be blessed as you bless others. XO
