Preston & Casey | A Winter Wedding

After a Disney trip, Christmas, my birthday, New Years, and our 10 year wedding anniversary…things are starting to get back to normal around here so that means a new blog post!!  Today, I get to share Casey & Preston’s wedding day.  It was beautiful!!!  They had their wedding at Ashton Creek Vineyard in early December.  Ashton Creek is such a beautiful venue and, in the winter, it truly has a “lodge” feel to it.  It was the perfect place for this winter wedding!

Peter & Kaley | A Georgetown University Wedding

You. Guys.  I can’t begin to tell you all the ways we love this couple!!  I am guessing that, if you know them, you feel the same way.  They are golden!  They are gems!  And best of all, their faces truly light up when the other is around.  I’m serious.  I literally teared up multiple times while editing these photos and I am sure you will be able to pick out those moments.

Jason & Megan | Alturia Farm Wedding

Today’s wedding pulls at my heart strings for all kinds of reasons!  We have really been counting down until Megan & Jason’s wedding and it was so exciting for it to finally get here!!  I had done their engagement photos exactly one year from their wedding date so it felt like forever since I had seen them.  Jason & Megan got married at the beautiful Alturia Farm!  This place is seriously a dream!!  The fields, barns, horses, flowers, everything!  But, as beautiful as this venue is, no one could take their eyes of the happy couple!!
