Wedding Story: Jennifer and Dave

It is always fun to travel with my hubs to new places to do a shoot.  Lately it seems that we have booked several brides along the Virginia/North Carolina border.  Saturday we drove up to Lawrenceville, VA.  Jennifer and Dave came down to Raleigh for their engagement shoot, claiming there was nothing in their tiny town worth using in their shoot.  When we arrived in Lawrenceville I knew we would have plenty to work with.  I love discovering the character of each place we go to... observing the colors, textures, buildings and people.  

While the grown-ups were busy getting ready, the flower girls thought they 

should call Hannah Montana and let her know about the wedding.  

They told me they got her cell phone number off the internet.

I call this "Hot Ladies||Hot Car".

Confession: while doing the girl's pictures I sometimes use the word sassy.

Ok, sometimes I use it often.  

The flower girls loved that and said they were going to 

be sassy in every picture I took of them the rest of the day

The guys arrive and also discover the smokin' hot car...

On the way into town we saw this house that had caught on fire and 

David (photographer) knew he had to get the guys back out there.  

Little did he know, Dave (groom) is a firefighter and had worked on that house himself.

Married!

The fire truck made an appearance for picture time.  LOVE it.

We headed to the main street area to grab some shots of the newly married couple alone.

I usually tell couples to enjoy the quiet and calm of these moments before they hit the party at the reception... the night flies by after that!

LOVE the downtown skyline.

We had lots of red to work with ...

Arrival at the party!

Had to cross the fire line to escape!

Jennifer and Dave- You two are some of the sweetest people we've gotten to work with!!  You have been so amazing to go out of your way to care for us as we captured your beautiful day.  Hope the trip to Tennessee was relaxing and fun!
