Here are two more weddings that I’d like to share.  Both weddings were held on gorgeous private properties.

First up is Matt & Jessy’s wedding just outside Winchester, VA.  Jessy was a wedding planner (which is how we met), and now she has just started her own marketing company, Printz Media (creators of the new Funchester.com).  You may remember their super-hot engagement session at Lake Holiday.  They are such a great-looking couple, so I was super-bummed when it poured down raining in the middle of the ceremony… and I’m talking POURING!  I felt so bad about how things turned out, I offered them a complimentary Day After session so we could get all those gorgeous images I wanted for them, but they are such a busy couple & just haven’t found a day that they could spend together getting their session done.  I’m not giving up, though ;-)  I’ll be sure to post those images when we get the chance to shoot them!

Here’s Jessy’s beautiful wedding dress.

…and the beautiful bride.

The scene in the front lawn just before the ceremony… we all knew it was inevitable.

Jessy’s checking out the situation… you can tell she knows what’s coming, but she still has that gorgeous smile on her face

Yeah, I told ya it POURED!

Definitely time to party!

They had 8 Lives Spent play at the reception… so ROCKIN’!

Jessy even got up on stage and rocked it out with the guys.  This party was crazy!

Now, to settle things down a little, let’s check out Sean & Kathy’s charming wedding in Front Royal, VA at Sean’s parents’ beautiful hillside home.  Here, Kathy is taking in the glorious sunshine in the sunroom before the ceremony begins.

So in love

You know I love father/daughter dances, and here’s one of my favorites.

I haven’t shown any album designs on the blog, so what better time to start than right now!  Here are a few spreads from Sean & Kathy’s wedding album.  This is the cover page which shows the back cover on the left & the front cover on the right.  This was the view at the end of their wedding day, and made for a perfect cover shot for their wedding album.

Sean’s gift to the groomsmen were these fashionable pocket watches.

My favorite spread in the album

A page for the girls…

… and a page for the guys.

Thanks again for stopping by, and I promise to post our newest sonogram pictures soon for those of you emailing to ask to see them!  They’re up on Facebook now if you’d like to check them out

Welcome back to the 2nd day of the “Best Of” Showcase Blogathon! Up tonight is one of my favorite weddings from 2009… I was so happy to be able to photograph Kurt & Porter’s wedding, not just because they are a wonderful couple that had an elegant wedding, but also because Porter’s dad was my pediatrician!  I always thought of him as the best doctor ever (seriously, he set the bar so high that I’ve switched doctors at least 10 times, and still haven’t found one that I really love)… plus, he’s going to be our new baby’s doctor (YAY!!!).  So, back to the wedding

Kurt & Porter were married at the beautiful St. Bridget of Ireland Catholic Church in Berryville, VA. Isn’t this such a beautiful dress? I love it!

I LOVED all the flowers for this wedding, especially this super unique bouquet!  Can you believe Porter’s dad did them?!?

After the ceremony, we headed over to the wedding reception at Historic Jordan Springs and started on some beautiful portraits of the bride and groom

The grounds of Historic Jordan Springs offer fabulous backdrops for gorgeous wedding photos!

I’ll end with this precious image of the flower girl…

Don’t forget to stop back over the next 8 days to see more of our favorite wedding photography, family portraits, maternity and newborn pictures of 2009!!!
