Truly one of my favorite weddings of the year getting to explore a brand new venue outside of Northern, Virginia! After a bit of online image stalking I knew that the cobblestone courtyard at Trinity Episcopal Church was going to be a staple backdrop for portraits. This September wedding day was filled with a stunning pastel green color palette, and the most resilient and welcoming spirt navigating the evening thunderstorms!

Choosing favorites felt impossible, I had to have major self control not to photograph their portraits all evening with this classic European backdrop, stunning bridal style, and classic getaway car! Scroll to see a few favorites!

The morning spots of sun were the perfect amount of time for so many amazing portraits. When the crazy weather kicked in during the ceremony, we had to get extra creative with portrait locations! Having that squad of HDP couples support and help navigating clearing out guests or organizing group photos made the experience so much less stressful! When the storm cleared for a final few foggy sunset portraits OH it’s magic! Courtney & Josh are truly one of those couples that just light up a room! Going on year 6 as a wedding photographer means that I have the amazing pleasure of referrals from past couples where their group of friends books me for their wedding years later. This number seems to grow every year and Courtney & Josh’s big day was the peak with 4 HDP couples all in one place!
