Virginia Wedding Photographer / Mason Temple / Julie and

i couldn’t have asked for a better couple to shoot my very first wedding. i’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but the entire experience was something i will never forget. for SO long i’ve followed other professional photography blogs (ryan brenizer, jeffnewsom) and most of them had such inspiring work i wondered how i could ever even compete in the industry. well, a year later and one wedding under my belt i’m feeling pretty good about what may lie ahead.
