Allison and Dustin - Chesapeake Bay Maryland Wedding

Last weekend, Erin and I had the pleasure of capturing Allison and Dustin's wedding at the incredible Chesapeake Beach Club, as associates for Armin Defiesta Photography. The venue was stunning, and was made even more incredible with the brilliant sunset that dipped behind the Bay Bridge, which served as the backdrop for their ceremony. You may remember Allison and Dustin's engagement session that Erin and I shot last October in Georgetown, and as before they were such a fun couple to shoot! Be sure to check out Erin's blog too!

Look at how happy they are! So in love!

Pre-ceremony cheer!

Great toasts! The Matron of Honor even made a Wedding Crashers and Anchorman reference in hers!

A tower of cupcakes instead of a traditional cake, very cool

The self-titled "Assistant Best Man" Aaron treated the newlyweds to a solo!Aly and Dustin were really working the dance floor!

Northern Virginia Wedding - Tysons Corner Ritz Carlton - Deena and Mike

I had the honor of photographing Deena and Mike's wedding this past weekend with Armin. It was an amazing day, two string quartets, rocking band, beautiful locations, and a couple that just couldn't hide their love. Both Deena and Mike (or was it Matthew? The deacon wasn't sure, LOL!) were beaming ear to ear the whole day! Images were taken for Armin Defiesta Photography.

By the way, pay attention to everyone's hands. they really do help tell the story of the day!

Caught Mike killing time on his phone before the ceremony...Twittering perhaps?

Dad is so happy on the day of his daughter's wedding...

Hands tell you so much about how excited Mike is and how relaxed John, his best man was!

We headed up to Georgetown after the ceremony

Some of the guests were partying pretty hard! Some more than others...

Brett and Kelly's Wedding

A few weeks ago I shot a wedding down in Austin Texas in one of the nicest venues for one of the nicest couples I've ever met. Kelly and Brett just had so much love for each other, which showed up in every click of my camera (even when they weren't in the picture!). It was a gorgeous outdoor ceremony at Austin71 with a great view of the countryside as a backdrop to a perfectly lit (that always helps) afternoon ceremony, which led directly into some great music from the band "Radiostar" which played the best mix of top songs from the 80's that I'd ever heard. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking, here's some of my fav's:

Have to add in some detail shots...

Beautiful bride makes the job REAL easy...

Talk about a get-away car!!!
