Congratulations Christy & Nick!

Christy and Nick are just so darned lovable that we absolutely had the best time photographing them on July 11, 2009. They are just a perfect couple in every sense of the word. Their marriage and wedding was a beautiful celebration and was held at the Purple Iris in Martinsburg. We can't say enough good things about the beauty of the Purple Iris at Hartwood, both of the house and grounds, but especially of the owners and staff. It is always a pleasure to work there. Along with that, we worked with our favorite officiant gal, Reverand Di Cooper. She's always a pleaure to work with and we enjoy her company in many ways when we are at a wedding. Check out this sneak peek of Christy and Nick while they are honeymooning in the Dominican Republic. Wow! We danced between raindrops---ah, make that downpours, to capture some of this lovely couple outside. Congratulations Christy & Nick!

Our Favorite Rachel & Jonathon Moments!

Amber & Aaron

There is only one word to describe this couple, SWEET...and so in love. We had a fabulous time photographing them at Historic Jordan Springs. We danced between rain drops to get shots of this couple outside, but the Bride and I thought it was worth it. The rain did not dampen spirits or the fact that the ceremony on the terrace was moved indoors. Another perfect wedding and great family!

Emily & Bob

Emily was a beautiful bride! She was fun and the camera loved her! We loved the spirit of Bob & Emily. They coach women's basketball at Shenandoah University and they had the whole team at this wedding. Talk about a great time. My favorite moment was when Emily's sister gave her toast. She pulled out a ukulele and invited her women's basketball team to sing a song they'd written with her. The chorus was Emily Crider married Bob Burner set to a popular tune. It was awesome and hilarious! This was definitely a memorable wedding. We had the best time!

Andrew & Kara

Andrew and Kara were a joy to work with and boy, was I impressed with their first dance. They literally glided across the dance floor! It was obvious they had dance lessons and wowed the crowd. If you are going to do something for your wedding, I recommend learning to dance. Seriously impressive. Congratulations Andrew & Kara!

Dream Couple!

Rachael, the bride, just told me to "have fun" with her wedding photos and boy, did I ever have fun. The location, Duffy's on the Potomac in Hagerstown, MD, provided a perfect backdrop for this modern bride. I was touched by her family and the groom's family. It was just a perfect wedding and a perfect day. Rachael's mom, passed her something old and blue right before the ceremony. It was a little silky fabric that when opened contained a penny. It wasn't just any penny either, it was a penny that had been there for all of the marriages in Rachael's family along with the fabric. She wore it in her shoe just as her mother and all family brides before her had. It was very dear. Her mom said that all of the gal's in their family who wore that at their wedding had marriages that lasted.
We wanted to provide you this sneak peek of Rachael, and have featured some of her pictures on the home page of our web site. She was a gorgeous bride in every sense of the word.
