tina + gerard: married!

one classy couple.

i had the most wonderful time at tina + gerard’s wedding! the entire day was perfect, from the morning appointment at PR at Partners where tina was styled, to the fun getting ready time at the Westin with family + the bridal party! tina was super calm and composed while gerard was super excited – they are such a perfect match! it was a gorgeous (almost fall!) day and we walked around the courthouse area getting fun photos before the evening ceremony…

as guests filed into the ceremony they were serenaded by classic music and the bridal party led the way down the aisle where gerard was anxiously anticipating his bride. tina came down the aisle with her father and i loved the expression on gerard’s face. they were all smiles after they tied the knot and were immediately embraced by their family + friends – hugging, congratulating, and lots of photo taking ensued! 

after the amazing cocktail reception tina + gerard entered the ballroom and danced together gracefully as husband and wife… i really enjoyed watching them all evening, they were so blissful and exuded such class as they floated around the room chatting with their guests, posing for photos with all their excited relatives, and kissing every time the clinking of the glasses encouraged them to do so…

tina + gerard: thank you. thank you for choosing me to document your day, thank you for trusting me with preserving your memories, and thank you for welcoming me into your lives and your family on your wedding day – i had an absolutely wonderful time.

now go enjoy aruba! bon voyage newlyweds!!

michelle + jerry: married!

afternoon delight.

congratulations to michelle + jerry who are currently honeymooning on the sunny beaches of the dominican republic! they were married last weekend at the waugh united methodist church, otherwise known as the runaway bride church! there was no chance of anyone running out on this day – michelle + jerry have a wonderful relationship and i have had the privilege of watching it grow since the very beginning. they are good friends of mine and i was honored to document this very special celebration! two years ago they formed a strong friendship which easily grew into a lasting love and a solid knowledge that this was the real thing – they both quickly realized that they wanted to spend their lives loving each other.

michelle and jerry are extremely kind, incredibly thoughtful people with big hearts. their friends and family adore them and it was easy to feel the love all day long. i was super emotional from the moment i arrived – i couldn’t wait to see michelle + jerry tie the knot! after the beautiful church ceremony everyone proceeded to fiore winery for a lovely afternoon reception. i loved walking through the vineyards with them and watching them tear it up on the dance floor – michelle + jerry you guys rock!

enjoy! 

 

 

michelle + jerry: i absolutely love you guys! i’m very lucky to count you among my friends and i couldn’t be happier for you both! also a big thanks to jessi who did a fantastic job as usual – notice she’s still loaded down with gear even after the wedding is over!

margie + jeff: married!

a rockstar evening.

congratulations margie + jeff!

this high-energy, oh-so-fun, gorgeous wedding is brought to you by the fabulous staff at the doubletree bethesda, where the super amazing catering manager happens to be the bride herself! it was wonderful to see margie enjoying the rewards of all the hard work she is usually bestowing on other couples! i met margie + jeff over a year ago when i photographed the grand opening of the swanky great room, and was delighted when she called me to be her wedding photographer! we had a crazy fun engagement session a few months ago, where they both captured my heart with their great personalities and sense of humor. 

margie + jeff celebrated their wedding day in the company of their family and friends, starting with an intimate ketubah signing (the mot gorgeous ketubah i’ve ever seen) followed by a beautiful jewish ceremony and the wildly fun reception. the amazingly talented band onyx kept the dance floor packed, and margie + jeff made it on stage more than a few times – jeff even played the drums with the band! everyone had a fabulous time, especially margie + jeff who never sat for a moment – they were everywhere: dancing, laughing, and embracing their guests. 

right now the newlyweds are enjoying their honeymoon escape to the unparalleled greek islands!

margie + jeff: thank you for choosing me to document your day, it was a blast! MAZEL TOV!
