Sterling and Gary exchanged marriage vows on a beautiful wintery day at the beginning of the year before friends and family in Old Town Alexandria. Snow had fallen the night before and remained on the ground for most of the day. With the cold weather (and the AMAZING reception location) we decided to do most of the photos inside. The reception was held at a private residence in Old Town and the gracious owners allowed me to set up my equipment, move around their antique furniture, and shoot in front of their original Gilbert Stuart painting of George Washington. I was excited about photographing in such a unique place and the challenge of lighting the group shots while keeping the artwork looking good and avoiding reflections. Sterling and Gary agreed to brave the cold for a little while before greeting their guests to get some outdoor natural light shots. And I think it was totally worth it! They look great and so happy to finally be married. Congratulations!
These are beautiful! What a lovely bride! And the indoor portraits turned out great.
ReplyDeletegreat job, nick!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing photos! The location and background looks wonderful and having known the bride when she was just a little girl, I have to say; I teared up at how beautiful she looks, and how happy she and her new husband look in those photos - you captured the joy on thier faces perfectly!
