The Honeymoon
Finally, the wedding photographer is married! Mike and I were married Alexandria, Virginia on October 10, 2015. (Two days before Mike's birthday. He has no excuse to ever miss our anniversary.) As a wedding gift, Mike gave me a Fuji x100t with the condition that it would be the ONLY camera I took on the honeymoon with us. At first, I was a bit nervous being locked into a 35mm equivalent focal length, but I was pleasantly surprised by the little guy!
About a week after the wedding, he and I started our 2-week honeymoon adventure. We flew into London and spent 3 days in England. We spent two of those days in London and also did a day trip out to Cambridge and had a grand tour of several of the different colleges from our family friends who live there. After the 3 days, Mike and I took the train to France, rented a car, and spent 4 days traveling around Normandy. We traveled to Dieppe, Caen, Omaha Beach, Mont St. Michel, and Saint Malo. From there, we drove to Paris and stayed in Paris for a week. Mike lived in Paris when he was a kid, so he was able to give me a personalized tour of the city. Even after a week of being there, came home with a list of things to do for the next time we go!
Below are a few favorites of mine from the honeymoon. (You'll probably notice I have a strange fascination with doors/doorways.)
A while back, I photographed Katy & Drew's engagement session at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. One of the backdrops we used was the St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins Well, that session led Chris to me even BEFORE he proposed to Callie!
Callie and Chris met in Hawaii (where Callie now lives), but they have spent much of their relationship apart since Chris was stationed in Georgia. Ever since the possibility of becoming engaged, Callie wanted to have the engagement shoot in front of church ruins. This lead to asking around, lots of google searching, the proposal, and finally the shoot!
