Jay and Jennifer

I knew this was going to be a beautiful wedding day when we drove up to the Aspen Wye River House in Maryland and there were perfect portrait locations in every direction! Just wait until you see the road of pink petals that took my breath away! It was such an incredible honor for me to be a part of Jennifer and Jay’s big day last weekend…Jennifer is the type of bride that every photographer hopes for and that every girl wants as a best friend. She overflows with joy and has the sweetest, most genuine heart! It is so easy to see why Jay fell in love with her…

I love how easygoing they are as a couple and how tenderly Jay cares for Jennifer. He proposed to her on her birthday in Hawaii and it was such a joy to see them tie the knot in front of their closest friends and family! I absolutely love being a part of small, intimate weddings…there is something so special about days like this and I’m so thankful I got to be a part of it! Jennifer and Jay, congratulations again! I hope you enjoy my favorites from your day!
