Derek & Jamie | Remington, Virginia Wedding Photographer

After days of raining, we were all for sure that Derek and Jamie’s wedding day was going to be WET … but with some luck and a lot of praying, the rain held off! Cannot tell you how lucky they were! To think that we were actually able to go outside and take photos without getting soaked was a blessing! I am honored to have gotten to know them through this journey with them from their engagement session to their wedding day. Their raw love for one another is a joy to capture and they are truly meant for one another!

THANK YOU Derek and Jamie for a fun time at your wedding! I wish you two nothing but the absolute best in your marriage! Enjoy the preview of your wedding day! xoxo

This is hilarious … Jamie’s sister was the one to set up Derek and Jamie originally and as a present, she framed Derek’s phone number that she never gave Jamie. She kept it all of these years hoping it would come to this! I of course took a photo of the frame but did not think it would be appropriate to advertise his number. 😉 Lol!
