Austin & Andrea: part one ~ Maryland wedding photographer

December 21, 2009

Where to start…..this wedding was amazing!  I knew when we shot their engagement shoot that their wedding was going to nothing short of perfection and it did not disappoint.  I had a very hard time choosing the pics to blog from this wedding, so we are doing it in two posts.  The first post will have the shots from the day and post two will be all about Austin & Andrea!

Austin & Andrea – I had such a blast capturing your big day.  You guys are two awesome people:)  Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to document the first milestone in your new family.  Hope you enjoy reliving your day.

♥ Heather

The beautiful Andrea…

She had her dress made just for her.  It turned out gorgeous!

For any brides planning their wedding right now;  get ready near some gorgeous windows.  Gorgeous windows = gorgeous light = gorgeous pictures:)

Before we left the hotel we got a few photos in the room…doesn’t she look radiant?

Andrea & Austin opted for a “first look”.  It allowed us to get some great pics of them as a couple.  As a photographer and former bride I can not recommend enough doing a first look.  You are allowed the opportunity to have still experience that “first look” moment but in private and then…we get awesome pics! Check out part 2 for some amazing pics of the bride and groom.

Until…then we continue with the “first look”…

As a note, none of these pics are posed.  I place the groom in a pretty area and then have his bride come up behind him.  Sometimes the best pics of the bride and groom are from this time.  The emotions are almost tangible.

I couldn’t decide which one I liked best, what do you think?

It had been raining a ton the week leading up to the wedding and even rained 2-3 times during that day.  It ended up so perfect though.  About 30 minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to start the rain let up, the clouds parted and blue shown through.  It was an awesome moment to see; grey on either side and a light blue right where the bride & groom were about to wed.  God was smiling down on them:)
