ginny + wes | engaged in downtown charlottesville!
I am really, really excited about this engagement shoot. Ginny + Wes are our perfect couple...she's an architect, he's a graphic designer, they're both musicians who love whiskey and good food. How did we only just meet them three weeks ago?! These two have so much fun together, constantly making one another laugh. Brian and I are looking forward to getting to know Ginny + Wes these next few months before their 9.29.12 wedding, and for many years after!
Ginny + Wes' first date was at the C+O...which is also where Wes took Ginny the night he proposed!

It is such an emotional moment, seeing your future spouse for the first time on the day you'll become husband and wife.
bradley + casey | married 05.12.12 in scottsville, virginia
Bradley + Casey's wedding was so beautiful...the weather could not have been more perfect on their day. The church where they were married, Christ Church Glendower, has historic significance for Bradley's family, and we completely adored the quaint, simple feel of the exterior and interior spaces. Their reception was held at Fat Cat Farm in Scottsville, which is operated by Shawn Cossette of Beehive Events. The setting, decor, and flowers were absolutely gorgeous, not to mention the bride and groom! Oh, and Bradley's dress! Perfection.
We are so lucky to be matched up with such wonderful couples. Once again, we finished this day feeling like we'd spent the last many hours with friends. Bradley + Casey...congratulations! We are so glad to know you, and happy that we run into you frequently on the Downtown Mall! Let's plan a meal soon. xoxo.

julie + kevin | married 4.28.2012 in richmond, virginia
Brian and I adore this couple; fellow foodies, Julie + Kevin made us feel as if we were part of their crowd the entire day. They were married at Beth Ahabah in Richmond, Virginia on 4.28.2012, and celebrated at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts afterwards. The rain didn't hold us back; we were able to slip in and out of the VMFA for their first look and portraits between showers and with the aid of the blue and white museum umbrellas. The VMFA is one of their favorite places in Richmond, and we loved that we were able to photograph them in both its exterior and interior spaces. Julie and Kevin have a quiet, calm way together; a demeanor and affection that comes from sharing a life for many years. The museum was the perfect setting to capture the character of their relationship and wedding day.
Julie and Kevin, we have really enjoyed getting to know you these last ten months. We hope that, despite the distance between Charlottesville and New York City, you will keep in touch. We will share a meal with you two any time! xoxo.

Muli and Marcus were married yesterday on a beautiful farm in Louisa! These two braved the elements for a fun first look and portraits around the property. We can't wait to share the rest of the images of this lovely couple and their wedding day!
Congratulations, you two! Brian and I were so pleased to be part of your day. Have fun in California!

second shooting with cramer photo, eric kelley, + holland photo arts
Since leaving the world of architecture and entering self-employment 14 months ago, I have been continually amazed at the open and accepting community of photographers in Charlottesville. I have made some great friends this year, professional artists who have invited me to work alongside them. Today I am sharing a few of my images from some of those weddings, all experiences for which I am so grateful.
Many thanks to Sarah, Eric, and Anne + Bill!!!

mark + adrienne | married 06.04.2011
Mark + Adrienne were married in Bethesda, Maryland three weeks ago today. And what a lovely wedding it was! We started the afternoon in Kentlands, where the reception would begin hours later. M+A indulged Brian and I with time for portraits before their ceremony, giving us the opportunity to wander around the picturesque community. With picket fences, quaint streets and the sweetest green house we had plenty of visual candy to inspire us!
I am so excited to share these images with you all, and especially with Mark + Adrienne. Enjoy, and happy weekend!

Mark + Adrienne, you asked us to join you before we'd ever had the opportunity to photograph a wedding. You put complete and total faith in us, and for that we will be forever touched and grateful. Thank you for asking us to be part of your day, it was truly a pleasure.
xoxo,
andrea + brian
