Bridget and Chris

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.

Thanks all for a great day.

Ian, You took some of the most gorgeous pictures I have ever seen. I cannot wait to see the rest of them. I know you had a hard time keeping up, saw you running a few times for some of the photos. The snow and your keen eye will make this one wedding we will never forget. Thank you so much for everything.

Ian, It's clear that Bridget and Chris had the right photographer. Your shot selection caught the style and mood of the event and gave us visual memories that will last forever. Thanks for a job well done. Jerry Gaida
