Here is the follow-up post with more photos of Kelli and Andy’s wedding! It was fun being a guest at a wedding surrounded by friends, it gave us a chance to let loose and enjoy the open bar
Bringing only one camera was fun as David and I passed it back and forth. I’ll post a photo of each of us at the bottom!
Yesterday our friends Kelli and Andy were married at Waterford Receptions in Springfield, Virginia! David and I originally were not going to be able to make their wedding but we were able to pull it off in the end and I am so happy we were able to share their day. I met Kelli the same weekend I met David, my husband on a whitewater rafting trip and she won me over immediately. She is super sweet and boisterous and has one of the most expressive faces I’ve ever seen. I’m so excited sitting here editing the images David and I captured because she was just gorgeous and they were so happy!! Here is a quick sneak peek of two of my favorite images so far. I love the first one because you can see just how excited she was when they were pronounced husband and wife, her expression is adorable! The second image looks timeless and classic, to me it is a perfect wedding photograph.
I’ll post more later this week here and on Facebook.
{Photographers Notes}
I used my Canon 5d with my 50mm 1.4 lens all night long. I purposely left the flash and bigger lenses in the car so as not to step on the toes of the paid photographer. My ISO was at 1600 all night long but I love the grainy quality it gives my black and white photos. All images were processed in Lightroom.
In the second image I managed to catch the flash of the photographer and while normally in a color image that can make things look pretty nasty due to the mixed lighting sources I loved how the couple had a spotlight on them. I flagged the image as a keeper with the idea that in black and white it would be perfect! I think I was right, they are illuminated beautifully and there is a wonderful vintage feel to the photograph.

I have to say even though I was in Virginia for the blizzard of 96 this winter has brought more snow then I can ever remember having. Two storms that dumped almost two feet both times! I took my Holga out and snapped some photos and once I get them developed I’ll share any good ones I have. This is my first experience with a Holga so I’m not sure I had everything right
Below are some photos of the girls in the snow!

I love snow days! It brings back memories of sledding all day at my parents house and eating grilled cheese sandwiches with hot chocolate. Mmmm I really want a grilled cheese sandwich now…. Anyway I’ve been working on some items on my 101 in 1001 list so I’ll be posting some updates to that soon. Here is a quick preview of number #14, painting my master bedroom. If you are stuck in your house for the weekend might as well make yourself useful!
So the before color was based off one of those sample/idea booklets they have with the paint chips. Let’s just say as soon as I painted the room with it I didn’t really like it but I was too tired at that point to re paint. I figured I’d wait until I had more inspiration and tackle that room at a later date. Inspiration started striking this past summer when I was redecorating my living room and dining room and I started making some small changes. I knew that changing the color would be the big change and it definitely has made a huge difference, the pictures above were both taken in the morning and you can see how much more the light bounces around with the lighter color. My next project is to paint the furniture a creamy off white color. With a three day weekend next weekend I’m hoping to get that project started then!
