A winter wedding at Old Metropolitan Hall

I’d never photographed a wedding & engagement session with the same couple in under 48 hours before, but everything was kind of unusual in March 2020. Hiking to Humpback Rocks with these two and then celebrating with them two days later was the best note I could possibly head in to a long break from weddings on.

Natalie + Danny // A Wedding at Murray Hill

Natalie + Danny’s celebration at Murray Hill in Leesburg was so full of joy it's difficult to put into words. The beautiful ceremony overlooking the Potomac was officiated by a close friend and Danny's reaction when he saw Natalie (even after having a first look) was totally priceless.
