You may be wondering why we have included a shot of the breaking of dawn over Northern Virginia along with this small collection of photographs from the joyful wedding of Susan and Shannon….

This was the view from the elevator lobby on my way down to the restaurant at the Westin, Tyson’s Corners for my 6:30 AM breakfast that Saturday morning. Why so early? So we could be ready to go at 7:30 AM, our appointed time to meet with Susan and her bridesmaids to capture the “getting ready” process. That morning I also posted a Facebook entry with a photo of the dining room… totally empty. After all, who eats breakfast in a hotel at 7:30 on Saturday?!

It was a wonderful day. Getting ready at the Westin, a limo ride to St. John Neumann Church in Reston followed by the 11:00 AM wedding. After a few group photographs in the Church, Brandy and I drove Susan and Shannon to Vienna, stopping for a few casual and fun portraits at the Freeman House Store and Museum. The rain held off until we arrived at the Grand Atrium in Tysons Corner for a wonderful lunch followed by a lively afternoon of dancing (including the Hokey Pokey) and celebration. The party continued in the Westin bar later that day with Susan, Shannon and a host of friends, but by then we had put the cameras down and picked the frosted glasses up. Cheers!
