Tim and Ayla: Wedding

When Tim and Ayla got engaged, they decided they wanted an intimate weekend that truly reflected the joining of their families. Their beautiful June wedding was just that with those they loved most literally flying in from all over the world to celebrate their marriage. The festivities started Thursday and didn't end until Sunday and by Friday everyone was so close it was hard to tell who was on the bride's side and who was on the groom's side.

Tim and Ayla, you are two wonderful people who I am overjoyed found each other.  Congratulations!

The gorgeous Settler's Inn served as the amazing backdrop for their ceremony and much of the weekend's festivities.  It was very remote and quite a trek for the guests to get to, but well worth the trip.
















Ayla is a veterinarian and loves horses, so it was very sweet that her parents surprised her with a horse-drawn carriage to take her to the ceremony.

Wedding: Tom and Dana

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Washington, D.C. was getting to spend time with my good friend  Nick Donner of Nicholas Donner Photography.  Nick is an amazing photographer and I had the absolute honor of helping him photograph a wedding.  I just love a wedding at a golf course and Tom and Dana's laid-back affair at the Argyle Country Club in Silver Spring, Maryland was no exception.  (Who doesn't like a bride wheeling around in a golf cart in her wedding dress?) 

The weather was perfect and we couldn't get enough of the beautiful light against all the greenery.  To top it off, both the bride and groom could not have been kinder.  They immediately made us feel like old friends and their guests urged us to kick up our heels out on the dance floor.  Thank you, everyone and especially Tom and Dana, for making the experience so enjoyable!
