Erin & Matt are the people you want to be around ALL THE TIME. From her laugh to his relaxed demeanor, one can’t help feeling like they are on a permanent vacation around them.
What I loved most about their wedding day was no matter what came their way, they just rolled with it! Even in the midst of a rather balmy summer day, they kept their cool – E definitely demonstrates that in the photos below! River Farm is a lovely venue, with everything I love in one place: Waterview, gardens, and gorgeous southern-style architecture that makes you want to sweeten that tea or add some more mint to that julep.

J&K had a GORGEOUS wedding day – even if there were a few raindrops that fell JUST before their ceremony started. (Good luck if it rains on your wedding day, right?) What I loved about their day was how intentional they were with everything, including the two of them choosing to get married at J’s hometown, even though they now live in the hustle and bustle of NYC.
I will say, the dance floor was absolutely LIT – even though it was a Sunday wedding in April! J has some pretty spot on dance moves, but K was (almost!) as talented in the movement as the talented J! I loved spending time with them, their families, and one of my favorite venues, the Atrium at Meadowlark Gardens. Springtime is really gorgeous there – all of the new blooms did not disappoint!

J&T had an adorable micro-wedding in Washington, DC where they had their family join them for a beautiful pop-up ceremony in the middle of Crispus Attucks Park. The beauty of getting married in Washington DC is you can self-officiate; meaning you can get married wherever you would like, on a park bench or at other famous locations within the city. No officiant is required, just the signature and agreement of both people to enter into the marriage. I kind of feel that is the most romantic way to get married, don’t you think ?
After their sweet ceremony, we ended up walking through some of their favorite spots in Washington, DC, and finished up with an alfresco dinner at the lovely Nina-May.
McKenna and Kevin found the cutest place for their micro-wedding in November! (My last wedding of 2020!) We LUCKED out with a gorgeous day, normal temps and the most organic little place to get married. The coolest part – their wedding was held exactly TEN years from their first date. Lucky for me, we get to celebrate again in 2021!
One of the best things about Emily & Ryan’s wedding? We get to celebrate 364 days later with a big party! it will be a tough act to follow this fun, full-of-life micro wedding at the Lane Social Club (which if you have little kids, is also a great place to go to kick back and relax while your little ones burn off some energy!). While we had an awesome fall day to celebrate, one of the highlights was popping into Gravitas, a gorgeous restaurant in the Ivy City section of Washington, DC (near Union Market). The groom, the owner of Fresh Impact Farms, regularly works with the restaurant and knew it was the perfect place for their portraits. I also think I met my match when it comes to Emily – she is so incredibly organized, that it made my job incredibly easy! I Can’t wait for 2021!

Kristen & Jeff’s backyard wedding was one for the books! It was so elegant and romantic, I felt like I was in a scene from Parenthood or on a movie set! If anyone needs convincing to have a small backyard wedding, these are the photos you need to look at!
