Emerald Green Fall Wedding at The Fredericksburg Square Meagan + Justin | Downtown Fredericksburg, VA

Weddings

I really just can’t say enough good things about these two. I love Meagan and Justin!!! When I got to meet with Meagan to talk about planning the big day, we ended up talking for way longer than originally planned! I knew Meagan from working at one of my favorite downtown boutiques. I was so honored that she wanted me to photograph her big day, and have been looking forward to it for MONTHS!!!
When Kerry and I arrived at the bridal suite, it was a chilly 38 degrees and we were bundled up in coats and boots. But, as soon as we walked inside, it was buzzing with excitement!! The entire bridal party was so much fun, and they were all SUCH troopers in the cold weather for photos! As soon as we finished all of the portraits, we have a few extra minutes so Meagan and Justin looked at me and said “want to sneak away in the limo for more portraits around downtown!?” Umm…YES! Because this wedding was local to me, we were able to sneak away to my favorite location in downtown – with a  skyline view!!! Wait until you see them!
Meagan and Justin – thank you both so, so much for choosing me to be a part of your special day. I am so honored and I hope you love these favorites as much as I do!! And, I hope you are enjoying your time in JAMAICA!! 🙂
