Heather and Reagan's Wedding Day

Heather and Reagan’s wedding day was finally here! Heather (and her family) are from the same part of the county I am... Northern Virginia (it’s funny because people from Northern Virginia are VERY quick to make that distinction, so as not to be confused with the rest of the state of Virginia, it’s like it’s own little state or something. I never really noticed that until my native-Austinite wife pointed it out on a visit a few years back! I digress….

So, for the record, Heather and Reagan have been really good luck for me (or maybe it’s the other way around?!?). I have captured some of my all-time favorite wedding and engagement images with them. Their engagement pictures were great, we lucked out with this very groovy field at the end of that shoot and their wedding was no exception. Great location, the church was so cool,the time of day couldn’t have been better and we had such great light pouring in from the side windows!

We had dozens of great getting ready shots, but this shot I processed three different ways. This was a deviation from the standard color or black&white processing.

Very cool chapel!

All smiles on the ring exchange.

The chapel had tons of little nooks with great windows that let in very cool beams of natural light. PLUS that stone and plaster work was very, very groovy.

This is my favorite posed shot of the day, great light spilling in, great colors and expression. Heather you rocked it out!

I love this shot. The groom, best-man and I were stepping outside for some shots of them in front of the chapel, when I caught the bride and maid of honor in action.

These two were beaming all day, I never had to coax a smile out of them.

This is the first time I'd had ever seen this, they threw dried lavender!

Oh, and dried lavender smells really, really good.
