David & Becca tied the knot on a beautiful November day in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  It was such a joy to see all the details of their special day come together, all their friends & family join forces, and create the fairytale wedding that Becca & David had planned.

Becca is my new step-sister and it has been a great joy to get to know her & her fiance, David, through their whole engagement & wedding process.

Enough blabbing from me, just take a look at their special day!

Getting ready…

Their first look…

Some fun with the bridal party…

(and I’d just like to point out Drew, my step-brother, on the far left.  White boy can jump!)

And now on to the wedding & details…

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to assist Pam Bolig of Bolig Photography with Greg & Amanda’s wedding on the gorgeous Eastern Shore.  When Pam told me the wedding was the the Wye Branch Manor, I had no idea what that meant.  When I arrived, I was stunned!  This house & land are absolutely beautiful.  It can sometimes be a dream when the wedding & reception all take place in one location.  And there’s something about an Inn that lends a homey feel to any wedding.

Check out Pam’s photos of Greg & Amanda’s day here.

And here is what I saw….

First look?  What’s a first look?  Well, according to me, a first look is when the Bride & Groom share a special moment BEFORE the ceremony.  They check out each other’s fancy duds, hug, kiss, cuddle, & get calm before their big commitment.  It can be a very sweet moment.  It’s also a photographer’s dream!  It gives us a special moment with the bride & groom before the flurry of ceremony, family portraits, reception, dancing, dinner, toasts, and on and on and on.  Sometimes, it’s the bride & groom’s only time alone the entire day!

When I got to second shoot with Natalie Franke again, I was thrilled that Farrah & David had decided to have their own first look. Check out Natalie’s blog for some amazing photos of the day.

And now, check out Farrah & David’s first look….

In the beginning of September, I teamed up with Natalie Franke again to assist her on an amazing wedding.  Noelle & Lance got married at Herrington on the Chesapeake, which is a beautiful venue.  Couple that, will all the eye-candy that Noelle & Lance planned, and you have a feast of wedding details.  Check out Natalie’s post here to see all the great vendors & more beautiful shots of the day.

Here are just a few of the details I saw….

Right as hurricane Irene was breathing down our necks here in Annapolis, I was assisting Megan Beth on a wedding that had to be moved due to the storm.  Check out Megan’s blog post here and see how this wonderful couple had to plan & replan their wedding three times in 48 hours!

Here are few of the wonderful details I saw…

And finally, I had to share Megan’s sweet gesture.  She brought me cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake.  However, in the frenzy of the day, they didn’t quite survive, haha!  No problem for me though, I ate one anyway!
