When Abby’s mother first reached out to me about photographing her daughter’s wedding we immediately had so many connections.  I have known Abby’s grandparents for years and two of my past brides (Shelby and Kim) referred them to me.  I loved seeing all the friendly faces at the Washington DC Temple and at the Chesapeake Noah’s Event Venue!

Kim and Stuart’s Washington D.C. LDS Temple post was so full of gorgeousness that I knew their reception would need its own space on my blog.    Temple Wedding Fact:  There are 155+ operating temples for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints throughout the world.  Some regions have many within a short distance, while other areas require members to travel long distances to attend.  The state of Virginia does not have a temple, so when members of the church are looking to get married (or sealed as they call it)  they travel to The Washington D.C Temple in Kensington, MD.  It is 3.5-4 hour drive from Virginia Beach depending on traffic.  Once it even took me 8 hours to get home because I-95 was a parking lot–yikes!

Krystal and Paul….where do I even start with these two!?  They are amazing and oh so funny!  I met up with them at the beautiful Norfolk Botanical Gardens.  After hearing how Paul, proposed, it makes total sense why they wanted to do their engagement session here.
