Weekend Recap

FINALLY! The rain is gone!! What a relief … just in time for this engagement and wedding last weekend! I have a story to tell you on Wednesday about how the rain effected the wedding prior to the big day. Definitely one of those “OMGSH” moments as a bride! Megan was fortunately so calm and it all worked out after all! Cannot wait to share her sunflower and tiffany blue wedding day with you all on Wednesday!!! 🙂

Sunday, I took the “day off” and spent it with Kyle. 🙂 We NEVER get days like this, so I really cherish these moments together in our relationship! Made a delicious homemade breakfast, did a little bit of clean up around the house, recharged batteries/cleaned equipment/backup all photos/straightened up my equipment … then we decided to put everything else aside and go out to Downtown Leesburg for a little outdoor shopping. 🙂 The weather yesterday was amazing so we definitely wanted to take advantage of the glorious sunshine (since we didn’t get much of it last week). Ended our night with a romantic dinner on the couch watching Game of Thrones … well, GOT wasn’t so romantic, but the dinner was! I hope everyone was able to take advantage of the nice weather on Sunday!! Here are a couple sneak peeks from this weekends festivities! 🙂 Cannot WAIT to share more with you all!!!
