Best of 2016 Portraits | Virginia Wedding Photographer

Best of 2016 | Virginia Wedding Photographer

I have to admit that this post is a pretty hefty one. I apologize in advance!!! My job entails capturing the spirit of the moment and there were a lot of them since every wedding is unique and different. Seeing the photos as a whole from last year, I see love, joy and beauty shining from the inside!

My couples experienced a lot of different weather outcomes last year, but we braved it and had fun! 🙂 So thankful for those who ran out in the unbearable 115-degree temps, the frigid 30-degree temps and the rain to capture these moments. It may have been unpleasant at the time, but these moments documented are priceless!

Enjoy looking through some of my favorite wedding portraits from the 2016 year!!!
