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!

Surfer Family Photos in Tamarindo || Casey Family
Costa Rica is one of the Casey family’s favorite places to visit, especially to surf. I first had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the Casey’s in 2018. Two years later we planned on meeting up again on the beach in Tamarindo for surfer family photos, but that was March 2020 and COVID had other plans.
