Dani was another brave bride who wanted to trash her dress (I’m telling you girls, it’s a very liberating experience… and fun! :))…. and I think it was sooooo worth it, check out these hot pictures! She and Matt really went for it, jumping all over the rocks and the sand and in the water - they had a blast… and so did I, trash the dress sessions are FUN!

I really love these pictures, and I’m not sure quite what else to say! Dani and Matt are awesome

Oh, and hahaha - check out the entourage they had during the shoot, Dani’s dad was even filming! Fun!

I knew Dani and Matt would have a beautiful wedding (I expect nothing less than awesomeness from my knotties! :)) - but knowing nothing about their resort ahead of time, I had no idea that the RIU Las Americas was the PERFECT place to have an all white wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous, and the perfect backdrop for their white/khaki/tropical colors theme. Theirs was my second of the two weddings I was in Mexico for, and it was a great ending to my trip - their guests were fun and sweet… and Dani and Matt rock! I, along with everyone in attendance, was definitely aware of the love these two share, it was evident all throughout the day. I’m so happy for you two!

(PS Check out the flaming dessert at the end… how cool is that?? :))

When I met Amy one of the first things she said to me was how excited she was about their day after/Trash the Dress shoot - and I was too! Not only did I have a beautiful and fun couple to work with, but I had a goooorgeous dress to shoot as well I knew that we would get some awesome fun and romantic pictures… and oh yes, we did!

Amy and Chad were total troopers, hamming it up in the HEAT (it was a scorcher that day!) and rolling around in the waves of the ocean (which was COOOLD!). I think the end result was well worth the few moments of pain though

Well, you may have noticed that I was gone for a reeeeeeally long time I was in MEXICO! Shooting Amy and Chad’s beautiful wedding (and Dani and Matt’s too - but that’s still to come :)).

Amy and Chad got married at the way awesome El Dorado Royale Resort in the Riviera Maya. I’ve been hearing about EDR for years, and about what a gorgeous property it is and about how it’s just a fantastic place to vacation… and I couldn’t wait to experience it firsthand!

I was SOOO not disappointed, everything I’ve heard was right! EDR is not only gorgeous and has an incredible staff, but MAN do they know how to throw a wedding. Everything was beautiful and executed so well… big props to the resort, but also I hear that Chad’s mom Sherry had a lot to do with it as well So to whoever was in charge - WELL DONE!

The wedding was absolutely beautiful - right on the beach in a private corner of the resort… and Amy and Chad (and their friends and family!) were so much fun to work with. I could go on and on about what friendly people they seem to have in Texas but I won’t bore you… because you all know that stuff, and what you REALLY want is to see their pictures right?

One last quick thing… CONGRATS Amy and Chad!! Phil and I had such a blast with you guys, and we hope if you’re ever in MD you look us up!

Emma and Trevor’s BEAUTIFUL wedding was on June 14 at the Rust Manor House in Leesburg, Virginia - yet another place that I didn’t know existed and now am very glad I do… it’s gorgeous! I knew these two would throw an awesome party and they definitely did not disappoint Down to the last detail, everything was beautiful and flawless - including the newlyweds themselves Emma’s dress was soooo cool, and I’ve never met a bride who could pull it off quite like her!

Beau and Pearl DID make an appearance as the Best Dog and the Dog of Honor, and it wouldn’t have been right without them there - they’re family, afterall! Mom and Dad got some cuddle time in with their babies during cocktail hour and then spent the rest of the evening partying with their guests, enjoying some heartfelt speeches, some great Southern cooking and lively music (including a heartfelt Princeton fight song, led by none other than the bride :-D).

Congratulations to my favorite New Yorker/Bermudians (right? Is that what you call someone from Bermuda?) - I’m so happy for you guys

I met up with Meredith and Drew in June (I’m not telling when - it was a while ago now, and being SWAMPED I haven’t had a chance to blog their awesome pictures yet! Please forgive me guys!) and we had a great time running around the park next to their house, on Capitol Hill in DC. Capitol Hill is one of my favorite places in the city, and I think it’s absolutely one of the coolest neighborhoods - yup, I’m a little jealous that they get to live there!

Anyway, these two lovebirds are getting married VERY soon (next weekend!) so stay tuned for more of them - their wedding is going to be gorgeous and a ton of fun!
