One of the very first emails I got from Elizabeth had a link to this FRIENDS  video. I instantly knew I loved this girl. Not going to lie… I was a little scared. Was Luke REALLY going to photograph like Chandler Bing?! Good news… He definitely did not! If you live in Virginia, you know last Saturday was a hot one. 90+ degree heat… But, the sun was shining and minus the temperature it was a gorgeous day. After the beautiful ceremony, we traveled to the Country Club. I was worried portrait time would be a hot, muggy mess. Again, good news… It wasn’t! A breeze rolled through and everyone was good to go!

Elizabeth and Luke’s love is beautiful. Being around them, their friends and their family just makes you happy. Once you see these pictures, you’ll see what I mean. They were nothing but smiles – the best way to be on your wedding day! Photographing this important day in their life was truly an honor. I had A LOT of favorites…. Enjoy! Thank you to Sara of Wolfcrest Photography for second shooting!
