Destination weddings are becoming more of a common trend than in years past. Offering the bride and groom endless amounts of options that they may not normally have back home. Shooting a day-after photography session is one of our favorite destination wedding options for the newly married couple! This past July we photographed Alana & Evin’s beautiful destination wedding overlooking the Atlantic ocean in Searsport, Maine & we followed it with a day-after session the next day! As Southeastern Maine has one of the most beautiful New England coastlines to photograph with several historic locations throughout the region. We knew Alana & Evin were going to have an amazing day.
The first stop for our amazing day was the historic Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine. It doesn’t take long to understand why this is the most photographed lighthouse on the east coast. We were just able to get a short shoot in before the heavy crowds took over for the day.

Reflecting: We knew that Kelly and Joe’s wedding was going to be amazing in DC. As we were just there a few weeks before in downtown DC shooting Kelly’s bridals. Kelly was just stunning and so much fun to work with throughout the session. Our daughter also found her calling. As she documented her first event at the age of 3 1/2 years old! The wedding day kicked off with perfect weather as we took Kelly and then Joe on photo sessions throughout Capital Hill. Their wedding was held at the beautiful St. Peter’s Catholic Church on Capital Hill and was followed by an amazing reception at the historic Washington Navy Yard Conference Center overlooking the Anacostia river.

We met up with Tiffany & Michael at the Historic Scott Mansion to go over finial details for tomorrows wedding. These two are going to be a lot of fun to work with & we can’t wait to get started in the morning. The Scott Mansion is a beautiful historical southern style plantation home located east of Athens in Tellico Plains, Tennessee. Jonathan & Brooke did an amazing restoration to this bed & breakfast home and we look forward to working with them.
This past Saturday I volunteered to cover the”Blooms for the Cure” event which raised funds for the Knoxville Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation at Crescent Bend House & Gardens. The foundation that helps fund Breast Cancer research and the education for early detection. It turned out to be a beautiful day for the event as the gardens where overflowing with pink tulips and the guest were entertained by the Smokyland Sound Quartet of Knoxville, Tennessee.
