I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Angela & Doug. You may remember their engagement shoot, you know, they’re the really fun, ridiculously good looking, super awesome couple… yup. The wedding was at the amazing Hyatt Regency Lost Pines resort in Basdrop, TX. It was a typical Texas summer day, super hot, but everyone was a trooper and was just glad to be there celebrating the marriage of these two amazing people.

I was beyond excited to shoot the wedding of Todd & Karla.  Karla is one of my dearest and oldest friends and I was ecstatic that they wanted me to capture their story.  Todd and Karla are both full time professional Jazz singers in the Baltimore/DC area and I knew their wedding was going to be unique and a crazy amount of fun. They decided to have the wedding on a mountain top in Virginia at the Lydia Mountain Lodge in Stanardsville, VA. I flew in that morning and traveled up the mountain side to the lodge. Little did I know that while I was making my way from Dallas to VA a huge storm rolled in and soaked the mountain as well as knocked out ALL the power at the resort.  The greatest thing to see was how calm Karla and Todd both were and how unaffected by the weather and power situation they were. They were just so thrilled to be marrying one an other. It was beautiful. It did mean, however, that they had to get ready in the dark and Todd had to do his hair in the car rear-view mirror, ha. It also meant that the outdoor mountain view ceremony would have to be moved under the pavilion where the reception was to be held. They didn’t care, again, just so happy to be joined together.  Beautiful. Miraculously, the power came back on and the rain stopped literally 2.5 minutes before the ceremony started and the rest of the day was amazing. A note about the center pieces: they are all paper flowers hand made by Karla, amazing. Also, Todd definitely sang a tune to Karla at the reception followed by an UNBELIEVABLE duet by the couple. Thank you, Todd & Karla, I’m so blessed by you  both.

Ps. Go check out Karla’s tunes here <–

Bianca and Thomas…. man o’man, I get so overwhelmed when thinking back to their wedding. I met with Bianca and Thomas about a year before the wedding and instantly felt like best friends. It wasn’t until the rehearsal dinner that I saw them again and it felt like I was seeing old friends I’d know my entire life and was just so excited to catch up! They both have the biggest hearts and are surrounded by people who love them deeply and whom they love deeply. It was such an incredible honor to witness these exchanges.  The wedding was a backyard wedding in Flower Mound, TX and was outrageously cool. They spent a lot of time on and put a lot of love in all the details and everything was perfect.  I’m kind at a loss for words, so I can say about the day is that it was amazing. But wouldn’t you know it, as soon as my new bffe’s got married they up and moved to Florida and I’m left sad in TX because now I can’t hang out with them. I guess I’ll just have to move to Florida too.
