I met Carrie at Emily and Geoff’s Bethany Beach wedding in May. She stood out because of her amazing “Marching style” dancing! She had me laughing so hard. Well two day after I posted Emily and Geoff’s online movie, she contacted me and asked me to shoot her wedding! I was very excited, not only to shoot her wedding day but to see some more of her killer dancing skills. As the details came in about location and venue…I became nervous. It was in Bluemont, VA and the reception was in a barn…Yikes! Every preconceived notion and stereotype about her wedding was destroyed when I showed up! Carrie and Damon’s families were so much fun and I believe I was adopted several times!
Carrie had a little case of the “wedding day jitters.”
Their cake was small but was awesome!!!
Damon’s brothers were the groomsman and flew in from England.
The reception was at Foggy Bottom Vineyard (soon to be Bluemont Vineyards.)
It had amazing views and was very peaceful.
After the ceremony…I only had 20 minutes to shoot some pictures with Carrie and Damon.
They were good sports as I briskly lead them around the property.
Damon’s mom and Carrie’s mom were “cutting the rug” throughout the night!
There were some pretty wild dancing going on. I even saw Carrie do a bit of “marching!”
One of the Blues Brothers even showed up!
I just liked the composition of this shot.
Was playing around with slower shutter speeds and some people walked in front of the camera. Sometimes you have to be in the right place at the right time!
Thanks Carrie and Damon for letting me be a part of your wedding day!!!
