Sarah and Justin's Woodend Nature Sanctuary Wedding!

Jul 25

Not too long ago I had the honor of photographing Sarah and Justin's wedding at Woodend Nature Sanctuary in Chevy Chase, Maryland! What I love about Sarah and Justin is that they're two of the most sincere people you'll ever meet. There's no denying that they love each other with all that they have, and I absolutely loved seeing that translate in their photos!Sarah and Justin both elected to not see each other before their big Chuppah ceremony, and they even chose to not see each other during the traditional Jewish Ketubah signing! I had no idea how those photos were going to turn out (their families and friends held up a barrier between them), but I actually really liked them! At one point Justin winked at the camera which was just so dang cute. The Chuppah ceremony outside looked amazing, especially with the pops of navy and yellow in the decor that Sarah and Justin included in the ceremony! Both Sarah and Justin each had the most touching sentiments toward one another during their vows (and yes, even I got weepy), and you can tell in the photos how much they care for each other. They looked just as stunning in their outdoor portraits before we came inside to par-tay! And of course, Sarah completely stunned everyone later in the night with her worm dance that was, I'm sure, the best I've ever seen. I mean, when a bride is willing to do that on the dance floor in her dress...she clearly is the winner of all the worm dances...ever. :) We wrapped up the night with a gorgeous night time shot under one of the huge trees at Woodend, and I could not have been happier!

Many thanks to Sarah and Justin and their families and friends for having myself and Mike tag along for this special event! We had a blast!
