Wayne and Marianne were married on a hot, hot Friday in July at Stone Manor in Middletown. Despite the record temperatures, the outdoor wedding was lovely! Lots of family, friends and fun. Thank you to the Johnson and Mullinix families for inviting me to capture the big day!
Love this little guy's expression!
Beautiful!
I'm a big fan of joy!
There's a first time for everything and this photo on a bale of hay was one of those firsts!
What I love about Stone Manor, is for every season, we get a different backdrop for photos. I love this one in the vineyard.
This was one of Wayne and Marianne's favorite spots at Stone Manor.

Kat and Russell had a gorgeous spring wedding at Stone Manor Estate in Middletown in April. By the time the wedding arrived, I felt like I really knew them after talking about the Hokies and Blacksburg almost as much as we talked about their wedding at our first meeting. And then photographing their engagement session, working with them on creating their guest book and save the date cards and finally, The Big Day! Kat would email and check with me about all the details, apologizing for being what she thought was overly organized but all the little details added up to one big beautiful day.
Thank you so much Kat and Russell for inviting me to be part of your day. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together.
Only a spring wedding could produce this beautiful landscape for a photo.
I love a good laugh! Kat's sisters give a toast.

A candid moment on the dance floor.
Every moment of the wedding day provides photo opportunities... almost midnight.
I have to give a shout out to all the vendors that put their special touches on Kat and Russell's wedding that made it so amazing.

I was so excited to be a part of the spring edition of the Frederick News Post's Elegant Living magazine which included a special wedding section. Many of the weddings of my amazing couples were displayed with articles on cakes, dresses and flowers and the cover, which is very exciting! The couples were excited too.
Thank you to the editors of Elegant Living for this great opportunity.
Ryan and Jess's wedding at The Purple Iris was featured on the cover and the inside opening of the section.
Ceresville Mansion, Boulder Ridge Lodge, Morningside Inn and Stone Manor were among the venues at which some of the dress, flower and cake photos were taken.
