Happy Monday, friends! This is it for me..the busiest time of the year…well now and September…but until this past weekend, my weddings have been so spread out…one in January, one in March, a few in April…but May is when wedding season in Virginia really kicks into high gear and it’s such a rush! I’m so excited for all the sweet couples that I’m working with this year to tie the knot and I just can’t wait to capture this special time for each of them! There are not many things that bring me the same kind of joy as seeing two people pledge  to honor and cherish one another for the rest of their lives. It’s such a beautiful thing!

This past weekends wedding was so full of special touches and love and I can’t wait to share more! But for now enjoy a few sneak peeks…

And on another note, I’m so over the moon excited because I just purchased my very own Think Tank bag. I’m so excited to be traveling to Europe this summer for some shoots and a wedding in Scotland for these two cuties, and having a secure bag to travel with that would hold all of my gear was an absolute must! I held off getting it for the longest time because I really wanted to find something pretty and leather, but I finally came to terms with the fact that you can’t beat the quality + security of this thing! So I think that kind of makes it pretty in it’s own way…and I think Lexie approves!

Mondays seem to come around faster than ever in the summer…Aside from shooting a wedding, this weekend I got to hang out with friends from our new church community group, eat at a new (amazing) pizza place that just opened right down the street from our house, play with Lexie (she’s such an entertaining little goofball!), and go on a Barnes and Noble date with Ryan (high on our list of favorite relaxing things to do together…having coffee + sharing a blueberry muffin and looking at magazines!). I love going new places for weddings, but sometimes having a more local wedding is so great because it leaves more weekend time open to enjoy with friends and family!

Hope you all are having a great start to your week! I’m working from the dining room today instead of my office, because sometimes you just have to shake things up a little to get motivated…
