Sean and Sarah – Dahlgren Chapel, Georgetown, DC and Collingwood Library and Museum, Alexandria, VA

Saturday was the lovely wedding of Sean and Sarah, both Georgetown Alumni. The day started when Sarah got ready at the amazing Hotel Monaco in Alexandria. The great interior of the hotel offered a lot of great opportunities for awesome backdrops! I think you’ll see what I’m talking about! After everyone was ready, we headed into DC to Georgetown University, where Sean and Sarah got married on campus in the gorgeous Dahlgren Chapel. After the ceremony we then headed to the Collingwood Library and Museum back in Alexandria. What a whirlwind weekend! I’m happy to say, that I actually know my way around Georgetown now… and a good chunk of Alexandria. I also can now get between the two without GPS guidance! (And let me tell you, loosing your GPS ability while in DC is scary!)

There’s so much I can say about Sean and Sarah. Their smiles in every image says a lot already. I’m personally especially fond of the joy on their face during their nuptial mass. The love was felt way in the back where I was! Amazing details, amazing love, amazing venues, and amazing family and friends make for one amazing weekend. Congrats Sean and Sarah, I was blessed to be a part of your day!

John and Kristina – Virginia Beach, VA Oceanfront Wedding

OK, a lot of you had awesome things to say about John and Kristina. Well, don’t let them stop wow’ing you. Saturday the forecast called for scattered thunderstorms. I checked the radar as I noticed drops start falling and sent Kristina a text. Basically, I asked to double check and make sure the schedule was the same and if any changes were being made. She replied back, “So far no change, see you at 4, the Future Mrs. Berney! <3″ Do I really need to continue about why I love them?

Of course, the rain didn’t start until she was making her approach down the “aisle” at the beach. Sure enough, it pretty much stopped when they had their first kiss… I love shooting in the rain, so I didn’t mind, and it’s always great to see two people have such fun with it! After the ceremony on the beach, we went to the brides parents house for the reception. What a fabulous backyard! Lot’s of kids + Pool + Awesome DJ makes for a great, laid back, and fun party. It was the perfect celebration for these two and for me, a nice change in pace from the norm.

This will in turn be a “different” blog of images than normal…. I hope you enjoy. I sure did!

John and Kristina – Princess Anne High School, Virginia Beach, VA

What a fun time we had! Let me introduce you to John and Kristina. They are one of the most fun, craziest, and affectionate couples I’ve had the honor of shooting. Being that they are both alumni of Princess Anne High School, where Kristina is now a teacher, it made a lot of sense to go there for their engagement session.  I had such a blast and I don’t think I need to say much about these two at all… I think their pictures will speak more than I ever could.

Jerrel and Michelle – St. Matthews and The Chamberlin

Jerrel and Michelle got married on a gorgeous day in Virginia Beach. It was an extremely HOT day, but gorgeous day nonetheless!

We met at the brides house to get ready and then headed to St. Matthews in Virginia Beach for their Nuptial Mass.  After we headed to The Chamberlin in Hampton for photos and their reception. What a great and interesting venue The Chamberlin is! It’s gorgeous, it’s on the water, it’s full of history… and provided the greatest cave to escape the ridiculously bright and hot sun!

Okay, enough words, I know you’re here for the images ;-) .
