Julia & Jason at the Club....

I was worried when I woke up on Saturday. It was scheduled to rain all day. After attending my son's soccer game in the rain (artificial turf) I thought for sure the rest of the day would be wet and dark too. I said some prayers and was thinking it would be a "plan B" kind of day. Indoor photos are one of the factors that differentiates a seasoned pro and a newbie. I knew I could make some beautiful images even if we were stuck indoors, but I really love outdoor photos too.

God is good. The weather cleared up just at the right time for for us to capture the outdoor beauty at Fort Belvoir's Officer's Club.

Make-up for Julia was provided by Barbara over at Bridal Artistry DC. I highly recommend this team of seasoned professionals.

The ceremony was at the Belvoir Chapel.

I love this shot of Julia walking down the isle with her dad. They're beaming.

A quick glance during the ceremony.

The wedding party...

And what a party it was.

The Potomac River makes for a beautiful back drop.

Wedding coordination was provided by Susan Smith of Simply Elegant Weddings. Susan and her staff made sure Julia and Jason didn't have to worry (or think) about a thing on their special day. I highly recommend a wedding coordinator, and Susan is one of the best! Here's a shot of Susan and Julia...

The Officer's Club was looking sharp for Julia and Jason's reception.

The cake was provided by The Icing, an organic bakery in Northern Virginia.

I enjoyed watching these two dance together. Poetry in motion.

I love it when almost everyone is on their feet all night dancing to music that just makes you want to jump up and dance. Congratulations to Julia & Jason!!!!
