I looked at my calendar this week and realized that, as of this Saturday, I have officially called Washington, DC home for TWO years now! WOW time flies! Last year, I shared a letter to myself. I shared the words that I would have told the girl getting off the plane, fresh out of college with a dream and not a whole lot of plans. I reread this post this week, and I cried like a baby. It was a bit embarrassing… thankfully, I was alone in my apartment. Goodness… how so many things have changed and how so many things have stayed exactly the same.

Ok… full disclosure: I had the hardest time coming up with the words for this blog post! I also totally edited & blogged this session through teary eyes. Anna and Darian are two of my sweet friends from college, and y’all…. THEY’RE GETTING MARRIED! (And I am obviously WAY too emotional about it all!) If you’ve spent any time around here, you may be familiar with my fellow photog friend, Savannah of Savannah Smith Photography! I met Anna & Savannah around the same time and we all became pretty close, so it was only natural that we decided to join forces to photograph A&D’s wedding!

Oh I need to give a HUGE shoutout to these two for being SO flexible! I think we had to reschedule their session three times because of the RAIN! (The rain has been nonstop in the DMV, y’all!). When we were finally able to get together for their session, we had so much fun! We FINALLY saw some sun and spent the morning exploring the gorgeous Downs Park.

Let me tell y’all about Carolina & Brandon…. When we got out of our cars in Old Town Alexandria, I felt like I was meeting up with two old friends! These two are the warmest, most genuine people and just make you feel GOOD when you are in their presence! Carolina greeted me with gluten free/dairy free blueberry muffins (that were absolutely amazing) and the sweetest little succulent that I’ve ever seen… what?! How did I get so lucky?? They’re the kind of people that think of others first and that know how to hold each other just right. We spent their session plotting ways to steal every dog that passed by while touring Old Town on foot, which let me know that they’re my kind of people.

I can’t help but to get emotional when someone invites me to be part of their wedding day… It is truly an honor to walk alongside my couples during one of the most memorable days of their life, and is something I take on with so much joy and excitement. Now… I usually tear up during most wedding days, but I found myself misty-eyed behind the camera a little more than usual during this one!
