I was so full of happiness for Mary when she let me know that her and Nathan were getting married. But then she told me they were getting married in Virginia … yikes … I needed to be in Houston the morning following their wedding! What to do? What to do? Obviously go out to Virginia and schedule an early arse flight for Houston the next morning, duh!

Virgina was just gloriously beautiful in late November and we had such a ridiculous time with all of their friends & family. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world guys!

Mary sent me tons of pictures leading up to the wedding – of her ideas and of her locations. Nothing she sent me could prepare me for how beautiful The Founders Inn & Spa in Virginia Beach was. Mary & her family got ready there. It was a complete eye candy extravaganza for me to shoot her details and getting ready there.
