Melissa & Warren | King George Wedding

When I arrived to Warren’s parents house in King George… I was in awe. It was the most beautiful home on the most beautiful piece of land. And inside those walls and all throughout the property were some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. It was hot as all get out but I knew it would be a perfect day no matter what.  Melissa was inside getting ready to marry her best friend. Surrounded by her best girls, she was calm and taking it all in.  Melissa is a girl after my own heart. She told me during their engagement session that her priorities were 1. Marrying Warren and 2. Photos. Yes. Please. With a beautiful ceremony overlooking the Potomac and a ridiculously fun reception, complete with a live performance of Wagon Wheel, I would say the Mitchell wedding was a success! Enjoy my over load of pictures… What can I say, I was looking out for my girl haha. Huge thank you to Heather of Heather Adams Photography  for second shooting the day with me!
