Will all the excitement about the snow I took a breather and headed out to some favorite spots in the George Washington National Forest for some quiet time.
Bridget and Chris' wintery wedding was a fantastic collaboration between bride and groom as art directors, photographer and mother nature at the Briar Patch Inn in Middleburg, Virginia. While Chris shared his artistic eye and playful spirit, Bridget called on mother nature to grant her wish of snow and ML and I were there to capture so many unique and wonderful moments. Most brides would shudder at the thought of a snowstorm on their wedding day but we all had a little twinkle in our eyes for the good fortune it brought us in pictures. Or perhaps it was the Natty Boh! Thanks to all the stars that aligned it was a memorable Saturday.
Chris put his talented skills as an illustrator onto a pint glass party favor - a rendition of a photo from our engagement session!
For about 10 minutes nobody breathed as we hijacked the bride's dress about 100 yards out to the barn in a snowstorm.
Yes, that's a Steeler's garter.
When we contacted the owners to let us shoot at the barn they thought we were a little crazy
Bridget's sister crafted this cake, rolling thousands of sugar balls.
To my core I am passionate about imagemaking. Photography is my medium and my goal is to communicate via my vision. Intuition, a yearning to connect with subjects and a deep-seated desire for adventure fuels that passion. When you look through a lens an image speaks in many voices. How the camera is positioned, where the light and subjects are placed represents only an augmentation of the voice that emanates through the lens.
