Hi there! I'm Caiti and I am a portrait photographer living in Disputanta, Virginia. I am a music loving, doughtnut eating, coffee drinking, mama of 2. This is the place where you can come to see my latest work with my beautiful clients and learn more about me, my husband, and our sweet babies. Take a look around and enjoy!
Happy Monday!!! I hope you are snuggled up on your couch with a blanket and a cup of coffee while reading this…mainly because that is most likely what we all WANT to be doing on a Monday. However, if you are reading this while at work or wherever else, I am just as excited that you stopped by! I had every intention of blogging Shannon & Will’s wedding last week. I really did. But then life happened!! My husband and both kids were sick most of the week and weekend! Nurse mommy to the rescue! Then, I got to spend some great time with lots of friends, so I call that a win! I still need to catch up on all of the housework that accumulated over the past few days…as well as do some online grocery shopping (ClickList all the way!!). But first, I want to share this beautiful wedding with all of you!
This wedding was rare for us from the beginning because we had NEVER met the groom OR the bride until the wedding day! I had one Skype date with Shannon to talk about her plans for her wedding and go over timeline information, but that was it. So we were SUPER excited to meet them! Shannon was ALL smiles the moment I walked in her getting ready room. ALL of the girls were! There was a bit of nervousness in the air, too. Every one just couldn’t wait for Shannon to get in her dress and get this day going! While the girls got ready, we took Will out for the some pictures and got to know a little about him. He was saying how excited he was and truly special this date was because, 3 years ago on that exact day, he asked Shannon to be his girlfriend. How sweet, right!? Also, that is one less date to remember so good job!
While being around Will & Shannon and their wedding party, we came to realize how special this group of friends are. Majority of their friendships start back in grade school! A lot of them were at college together, as well. One of the groomsmen said in his speech that he could tell this group of girls came as a unit! It is so rare to find friends that you can have by you through so many different stages of life. Will and Shannon have found that though, which says a lot about them as people! All day, you could see how happy they both were and how important it was for them to have the ones they love most around them.
We are so excited for these two and can’t wait for you to see their pictures! Their day was simply beautiful!
