Weekend Catch Up

Wow … I sit here this morning with my eggs just thinking about what happened this weekend. SO MUCH. I knew this summer was going to be a crazy one, but a part of me did not realize how much of a crazy life I would live. Blessed to have the business! Blessed to have such an amazing and supportive boyfriend, family and friends who understand I do not have a similar schedule to theirs! Blessed to have amazing clients! This weekend started with a beautiful winery wedding in Williamsburg! After getting home from the wedding at 3 a.m., I woke up the following morning and ran off to another gorgeous, romantic wedding in Middleburg! I arrived at home at 10 p.m. and went straight to bed knowing that I needed to get as much sleep as possible for my sunrise session the following morning. Met up with my lovely couple yesterday morning for their engagement session and discussed about their wedding .. which is just about a month away! YAY! After ending the weekend off on a high note, my boyfriends brother’s baby was baptized and so we had a big celebration throughout the day. 🙂 It was nice to have that time to relax and spend time with family! I hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Here are sneak peeks from the lovely couples I had photographed! More to come this week!
