Kristine + Scott | A Fall Cameron Estate Inn Wedding 11.30.19

“We will start the day with tea at Cameron Estate Inn for my side and food and drinks at Bube’s Brewery for Scott’s side,” Kristine explained while sketching out their timeline via email back-and-forth. Kristine and Scott currently live in Arlington, VA which made it difficult to get together to meet initially and ultimately at all, even for their engagement session. We all have jam packed calendars year-round so we squeezed their engagement session in the DAY before their wedding!

A Purple and Grey Fall Wedding at Melhorn Manor | Nichole + Wills 11.01.19

A gust of wind hit him in the face. The temperature outside had dipped below a comfortable threshold. He didn’t seem to notice. His fingers grasped the cold metal barn door handle. His gaze was down and focused. Wills’s bride was behind this door. The rest of the world melted away as he heaved it open to reveal Nichole. In that moment when he lifted his eyes to meet hers, time stopped and every anxiety was swept away with the wind. He stepped into the warmth of the barn. An orange glow of warmth swirled around their embrace enhanced by Nichole’s delighted laughter. There would be no tears for them, only joy and excitement.

A Fall Burgundy and Yellow Wedding at The Barn at Stoneybrooke | Jacy + Nicholas 10.18.19

It was time for the Father-Daughter dance. I found myself weaving through a sea of buzzing people to find Joe and Stacey to let them know they should make their way to the dance floor. I tapped Joe on the shoulder and shouted into his ear over the music, “It’s time for you to dance with your daughter!” And, for some reason I felt compelled to tell him that the speech he made earlier that evening brought me to tears. It was at the moment after he talked about how difficult it was to give his daughter away and his hopes that one day they would have a daughter of their own to throw a wedding for when he turned to Nick and told him to remember that through it all, “That’s still my princess you have there. Take good care of her,” that I lost it and had tears streaming down my cheeks.

A Fall Wedding at Chestnut Hill Villa | Emily + Nathan 10.12.19

Manheim, PAI was already as booked as I wanted to be for 2019 when Emily’s contact form hit my email. I think I had just said to my husband, “I’m not booking ANY more weddings for 2019!” I read the date on the contact form and knew I had a wedding already the day before and THREE the weekend prior….this was out of the question.

A crisp fall wedding at the Barn at Stoneybrooke | Colleen + Nicholas 10.04.19

She was a vision as she stepped out the of car on her wedding day. First thing in the morning, Colleen was also wrapped up in anxiety and nerves. It is her personality to worry about every detail. I asked her if she was having fun when I greeted her at the doors to The Barn at Stoneybrooke after having hair and makeup done off-site. Her response, “I’m so nervous!” While she smiled graciously and held herself with poise and composure, she was anything but calm on the inside. I’ll never know what was going on inside her head during that first hour but I do know that the moment she saw Nick walk out of the door for their first look, she melted.
