Andy and Erica | Married!

Erica and Andy are such a laid back and adorable couple…I first met them for their engagement session in DC a few weeks before their wedding date and I could tell right away that they were just ready to be MARRIED!…Fast forward to their wedding day and you could literally SEE the joy on their faces during the entire day…aside from a few moments during portrait time when they were freezing because it was so cold!

The weather in Virginia is so unpredictable…It can be 70 degrees and sunny one day and then a few days later it could be SNOWING! We did get a few light snow flurries, which made for some pretty pictures! They braved the cold during portrait time and I think it was definitely worth it!

Not to mention that the locations for their ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect for their wintery wedding day…The ballroom was gorgeous and full of crystals hanging from the chandeliers and pretty silver chiavari chairs…It was so beautiful and classy! When everything was lit up after it got dark and the crystals were sparkling and their guests were dancing and having a great time, it was literally perfect!

Congratulations on your new marriage and on a beautiful wedding day Andy and Erica! I hope you enjoy my favorites from the day!

I loved Erica’s dress so much! It is so elegant…

Practicing her dance with her dad…

Thank you Katie for spending time with the groom and his groomsmen while I was with the bride!

Married!!

You are so beautiful Erica…

The transformation at night was amazing…

They waited to open the candy bar until later in the evening…It was a major hit!

That one on the left is a definite favorite!

Congratulations again Andy and Erica!
