Kim & Paul: Married! | Northern VA Wedding Photographer

I met Kim and Paul last year, during the height of the election season. We actually spent most of our meeting talking about politics and all the issues surrounding the election, which was right up my alley! (One of my majors in college was political science!) I loved them immediately, and was so happy to be chosen to photograph their wedding at the gorgeous Airlie Center. Going to Airlie is like stepping into this secluded little oasis--even though there are strip malls about 10 minutes away, you would never know it. It is so peaceful and beautiful there--truly a dream location for a wedding! Here are some of my favorites from the day--enjoy!

This image only begins to capture the magic of the location. There are winding paths and roads throughout the property and acres of rolling hills, gardens and ponds.




This was a total spur of the moment shot--I was coming out of the reception room and happened to catch Kim and her bridesmaids leaving the bridal suite. It is one of my faves of the day.

Kim's mom was so cute when she saw her for the first time!


Paul as he is seeing Kim for the first time walking down the aisle.





The ceremony area is just off to the side of the English style gardens and surrounded by trees and flowers.

Party time!

Toasts...



The first dance...


Father - Daughter dance--Kim's father was quite the high stepper and he definitely kept her on her toes!


David, from My DeeJay, kept the party going late into the night!




Kim and Paul, I had such a great time at your wedding! I know you two will be very happy together and wish you many wonderful years together--congratulations!
