Kelly Lee Photography

This weekend, I was so privileged to make the trek from Virginia Beach to DC to help Anne Ruthmann shoot a wedding for a truly amazing couple. Anne isn’t just any photographer, she’s actually based in Terre Haute, Indiana and is flown all over the US to photograph weddings. And if that’s not enough, she’s also an internationally award winning photographer… a few times over… Needless to say, I was blessed to be invited to work with her! We also had such a blast hanging out! I am a little bummed however, we never did get to jump on the beds…

The wedding itself was wonderful. The brides father was a career Marine and as he is no longer here, the wedding started with a tribute to her father at the Marine Corps Memorial, Iwo Jima. They met and saw each other for the first time at the monument and then laid a matching lily of her bouquet along with her family. After the laying of the flowers, they made their way towards the Carillon bell tower and had a small intimate ceremony with family next to a large oak tree, over looking the DC skyline. Fall finally made it’s appearance just in time for the wedding, and we also had amazing color!

After the ceremony, they headed to the “Hotel Tabbard Inn” for a family brunch. After a short break, we then headed to the “Clarendon Ballroom” for the black tie optional reception with all of their friends and family. The day was full of so many fun people and details so, I am going to post quite a few pictures… but, I don’t think you’ll mind.

I was very honored last night to photograph the wedding of Dana and Michael. Being that it is Veterans Day Weekend, having the opportunity to shoot a wedding so steeped in military tradition was quite an honor. The wedding was held at the beautiful First Presbyterian Church, Norfolk and their reception was at the new cruise terminal, Half Moone in Norfolk. I’ve had a few of my upcoming brides ask me about this place, and let me say it’s gorgeous! The wedding was spectacular, Dana looked stunning in her dress, and I even was given the chance to see my very first bride and groom! Connie over at Catering Concepts also did a fantastic job on the reception and was such a pleasure to work with.

Being that tomorrow is Veterans Day, I thought I’d share a few more pictures, including more military elements from the wedding.

Michael, Thank you for your service to our country. I wish you both happiness as you begin your new lives together.

May God Bless America and Our Troops!
Happy Veterans Day

Hope you’re ready for a LONG post!

I had such a blast shooting this wedding held at the Portsmouth Womens Club! What a fun celebration between close friends and family. The wedding was also full of so many amazing details! And the groomsmen! I think you’ll see what fun the groomsmen were below. It truly was a fun celebration and I wish you both happiness in your lives together. Of course, when you start your marriage with a honeymoon to Disneyworld I’m sure that will be easy to achieve!

On to some photos!
