Wedding Photography
intimate historic Alexandria Virginia
spring wedding
Annie + David
What do you do when the ‘Rona extends out your Costa Rica destination wedding plans to 2022?
You get married surrounded by your closest family + friends in the church gardens that your grandparents planted!
Annie + David’s intimate historic Alexandria Virginia spring wedding was not their original wedding plan, but it was just as beautiful + special as their original Costa Rica wedding plans. Although the morning started off misty + foggy, just in time for Annie + David’s wedding, the afternoon sun kissed the clouds goodbye and lit up the stunning full bloom cherry blossoms. It couldn’t have been a more beautiful afternoon to kick off + celebrate Annie + David’s next chapter.
From their first meeting at a friend’s hot pot dinner where David cooked for Annie, to Annie “falling for David” during a hike, celebrating Annie’s sister’s wedding in Costa Rica (yes, I had the honor to photograph Eliza’s wedding too!), and adding their adorable fur baby Lattie to their family, Annie + David are such a complimentary, adventurous, and caring couple.
Congrats you two and I can’t wait to see y’all here in Costa Rica!

Tamarindo, Costa Rica Honeymoon Photos: Melissa & Francis
During the early morning, the lighting in Tamarindo is magical. However, there is a small window before the sun gets too strong and the light loses its glow. So when I suggested to Melissa and Francis to start our photo shoot at 6:15AM, I was stoked that they were...
