diana + john got married at St. Theresa’s Church in Ashburn, VA and celebrated their wedding at The Westin. The details of this wedding were amazing and made all the difference in the images! i absolutely love the uplighting they used for their reception and how it turned out in the pictures!

diana looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown, and john’s face when he took one look at her was priceless. this was truly a day to celebrate two people coming together, and declaring their vow of “forever”. it is always such an honor to be a part of something so common, but yet so uniquely special and important each and every time.

diana + john- i hope you had the time of your life on your honeymoon in Australia! i just want to thank you for everything- for being the best clients, for having me be a part of your day, and for the amazing memories i will always have because of it! you guys are the best :)
