Couples commission me to be their personal image maker during their entire wedding experience, not just the wedding day.
There is simply nothing like the warm feeling of owning a full collection of images that remind you of your loved ones. It’s beautiful.
Cathleen and Beau met while working together on Capitol Hill. Beau had his eye on her for quite awhile before beginning a formal – and irresistible – courtship. From that point on they were a pair and never looked back.
They live in Washington D.C. but chose to get married in a rustic spot near Cathleen’s family. The venue is a bona fide castle with all the regal character you’d expect.
This was possibly the most emotional wedding ceremony I have ever witnessed. Hopefully your wedding will have such a degree of love and joy that it brings your guests to tears.
