Life in a photographers world…

Lara & Sarah; June 18th, 2011 Westwood Country Club

the happy couple

Lara and I recently reconnected in the wonderful world of Facebook.  She was my best friend from childhood; you know the one, the one who you’ve spent countless nights in sleepovers with, endless hours at the mall and dare I say it rocked out to Madonna with (yes it was the 80′s).   We starting going our separate ways in Jr. high and went to different high schools.  Our lives moved on but I would never forget the great times we had.

We became “friends” again on Facebook and I was excited to hear from her that she would be marrying her partner Sarah.   As a friend I was thrilled for her, as a wedding photographer I was hoping they would pick me (Lux Photography) to photograph their wedding.  We met up to go over the packages my company offers and hit it off.  I could see myself photographing their special day.  It was during that meeting that I first saw the bond that Lara and Sarah had.  Throughout their wedding Brandy (second photographer) and I had a chance to capture that bond on film.  Those intimate looks filled with love done not for anyone else but for each other.  When Lara emailed me to let me know they had chosen me I was so excited.

The celebrations began with their rehearsal dinner that I photographed.  The dinner was a wonderful celebration with friends and family.  Much to my dismay her mom had found an old photograph from one of our “slumber parties”  had loaded it onto her I-phone and was happy to share the PJ clad photograph of Lara and I to everyone :) .

Everything took place at Westwood Country Club in Vienna Virginia.  Everything was perfect, the food wonderful the cake divine and of course the love…

from their "first look" to the end of the night a handful of those "looks" that Brandy & I saw all day.
