Alie and Dane are Married! Patuxent River, MD | May 22, 2010

I think it is beyond reasonable to say that on May 22, 2010, the photographer at a certain (awesome) event was more nervous than the bride at that said event. Alie pulled up to the church in multicolored socks, soccer cleats and a veil in her hair. I asked her if she was nervous, she shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Naaaah, but wait! This is your first wedding! You must be nervous! Girl, you're gonna do great!" Can you believe that she was more concerned about if I was nervous than herself? Alie, you are not only a fantastic person, but a fantastic bride! But this whole situation gets better- she married the love of her life that day, Dane, and I was lucky enough to witness it all! How amazing is this job?! I get to capture one of the most important days in people's lives.

Not only are Dane and Alie amazing, cool people- their families and friends are too! They were all so nice and inviting! I think this might've had to do with the fact that some of them are from my hometown (what up, Manalapan!?)- it's a small small world!

The girls all made their bouquets before the wedding- I think that's a great way to add a personal touch!

I LOVE the next two pictures! Dane just looked so so happy to be standing up there. As soon as Alie started walking down the aisle, a huge smile spread across his face. Priceless.

One of the funniest moments of the night: Alie forgetting her bouquet when she walked down the aisle, but none of that mattered. She laughed and whispered loudly down the aisle, making fun of her mistake, but as soon as she caught a good glimpse of Dane, she rushed down to the aisle to meet her soon-to-be husband. :)

Yay, she got her bouquet! (Yes, that rhymes)

Of course it started to pour once we got to the beautiful Patuxent River Naval Base, where the reception was to be held, but after that rain, the lighting was perfect. Couldn't have asked for better light!

Walking around in mud in cute shoes is a big no-no, so luckily Cara, my awesome sister/second shooter, offered to lend Alie her shoes for a little while.

Alie and Dane, thank you so so much for letting me spend this day with you, your families and your friends. Your day was special to me on so many levels, and I will never forget it. You are both incredible people and I know you'll make each other very happy for many many years to come. Congratulations!

Amazing. I love these! What a beautiful couple--and they really just look so happy, it's sort of adorable.

This may be my favorite shoot of yours (but it's hard to choose).

Congrats on finishing your first wedding, woman!
