Over the past five years, I’ve had the honor of photographed Phoebe and David many times. But this session might be my all time favorite. Phoebe and David’s home in Virginia provided the perfect backdrop for their family photos. We only photographed for an hour but I swear I could’ve shot all day with the gorgeous sun gushing through the western windows and Mae toddling through the hallways. Mae is growing into such a curious, energetic, and beautiful big girl. The following is my attempt to capture the happys and sads as well as the big and quiet moments in a day in the life of Mae.
MADISON + ZANE (A WEDDING AT MEADOWLARK BOTANICAL GARDENS IN VIRGINIA)
It'll probably come as no surprise that I adore greenery. I have 30+ plants in my small apartment and jump at any opportunity to shoot in lush green nature. I mean, just take a browse through my wedding and engagement galleries. Lots of nature! So, heavens, when Madison emailed me about her wedding at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens my heart skipped a beat. I'd photographed at this venue once before and loved how much beautiful, natural light flooded the Atrium. Not to mention the actual gardens out back! What a great day and even greater couple. Shout out to the talented Calla at Weddings by Calla for connecting me with the bride and groom. It was lovely working with you again, Calla!
