Liam + Melanie | Rockwood Manor Wedding | Potomac, Maryland Photographer

17 Oct 2017•Wedding

Rockwood Manor WeddingI had the pleasure of traveling up to Potomac, Maryland to Rockwood Manor for Liam and Melanie’s October wedding. With Liam being from Scotland, and Melanie living in NYC, other than Skype I didn’t get a chance to meet these two before their wedding. But knowing what I know about the Scots (they can hold their liquor), I knew it would be a party I wouldn’t soon forget! The setting was pretty unbelievable, Rockwood Manor is nestled in 30 acres of woodland just outside Washington, DC and only steps away from Great Falls and the C&O Canal (I had a chance to check out great falls the day before the wedding and its pretty amazing!). Everything was picture perfect, the men rocked those kilts like nobody’s business and the girls were equally as stunning. As expected the party raged on and eventually had to be shut down by an unhappy venue owner and the night was finished off the way every wedding should with a big bonfire. It was such an honor to hang out with these guys for the day, I’m glad i’m finally getting the opportunity to share these photos!

Justin + Cheyenne | Cathedral Pines Wedding | Colorado Springs, CO

10 Mar 2015•Wedding

Colorado Springs Wedding. Wow. I can’t say enough about this wedding, these people, this place. Spending 3 days in Colorado Springs with Justin, Cheyenne, their friends & family was definitely a (if not THE) highlight of 2014. Placing a wedding in the middle of the Black Forest in Colorado is really a no brainer, add to that a group of beautiful and charismatic people, and you’ve got yourself a dream wedding. I could’ve closed my eyes and just repeatedly pressed the shutter button and still came away with gold. I met Cheyenne at Danny+Brittany’s wedding in Sunset Beach where she was a bridesmaid, so it was great knowing I’d see some familiar faces at her wedding. The weather was perfect and emotions were flowing throughout the ceremony as Justin & Cheyenne receited their hand-written vows, something you don’t see very often anymore. I’m never good at narrowing down images for blog posts, but this one’s a doozy, and I still have some images to post from the first two days I was with them.

The quintessential setting for a rustic DIY wedding, deep within the Black Forest of Colorado Springs. Serene and intimate, the Cathedral Pines Lodge is an ideal pair for the wooded outdoor ceremony location, the A-Framed cabin-like structure peaks it’s way through the towering Ponderosa Pines. Justin + Cheyenne share a love and adoration for one another like any I’ve ever seen, there was was hardly a dry eye amongst the guests as they recited their hand-written vows to one another. As if everyone else had disappeared and it was just the two of them standing against the log arbor. This wedding was breath-taking from start to finish, from the picturesque location, to the bright warm sunshine, the carefully assembled rustic DIY decor and details, and certainly the stunning life-long friends that stood by their side and comprised the bridal party. We are delighted to share this wedding with you, with the hopes that it inspires you to create the wedding of dreams amongst the forests of Colorado.

Scott+Lindsey | Engagement | Fort Fisher, NC Photographer

9 May 2013•Engagement

Well, wedding season it officially in full swing here in Southeastern North Carolina. The temperatures are warming, the flowers are blooming and the tourists are beginning to filter in. This first post is from Scott & Lindsey’s engagement session down at Fort Fisher, NC. After a couple reschedules and a week of unpromising weather, we finally managed to nail down a day with perfect conditions. Lindsey made some awesome props for their Save the Date cards, matching the rustic theme of their wedding. They even brought along their pooch Nolan for a handful of portraits. Here’s a little taste of what we got. Can’t wait to shoot their wedding in October. I’ll have some pretty steady content here on the blog in the next few months.
