A few months ago, I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of two really good friends. The night before, Jay and Liza, kicked off the weekend with some close friends in anticipation of a beautiful wedding day.
The chapel was beautiful and Jay and Liza made for a stunning bride and groom.
Jay and Liza decided to get a sneak peek of each other before the ceremony. It was such a sweet moment to witness.
The ceremony was such a great look at true love between two amazing people.
And this crowd closed the night in rare form, this was definitely the party to attend!
Last year, I met Miriam when she contracted me to shoot some promos for her music project. We quickly became friends and admirers of each others work. A few months later, Julius contacted me to help with his proposal. You can read more about that proposal over at The Knot.
After pulling off a successful proposal, it was time to capture Julius and Miriam’s wedding day. Miriam made for a absolutely beautiful bride.
The wedding came and went without a hitch. It was a real privilege to be apart of the Hamilton’s special day!
First things first, major kudos to all those photogs who find the ability to post regularly and keep up with work. I will know I have arrived when I can make that happen. To make amends, here’s an in depth look at one of the many beautiful weddings I shot this year.
Josh and Lesley are an amazing couple with refined tastes. They decided to set their wedding to the backdrop of a beautiful fall day in the hills of Lynchburg, VA near the college where they met. From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. I seek to bring a fashion vibe to my wedding captures, and this wedding was right out of a J Crew catalog!
The bridal party was a blast to work with. Straying from traditional wedding photography and the routine of jumping pictures, recycled poses, and forced smiles, I keep only two rules. Make sure you can see me so I can see you, and be yourself. This group brought tons of fun and class.
The ceremony took place under a slight breeze and a golden sun. The mood was so picture perfect and it was evident that these two will share many more sunsets.
And with that, two families were joined and two people were bonded in a forever kind of way.
Which, of course, called for a celebration!
And, naturally, a proper send off.
Congrats to Josh and Lesley, not only for a wonderful wedding, but for being selected as winners for the 1st inaugural Wedding of the Year Award!
