Emily & Andrew's Wedding

Last Saturday, Emily and Andrew tied the knot in a gorgeous ceremony at the George Washington Masonic Monument in Alexandria, VA. The monument was the perfect backdrop for these love birds to celebrate their marriage with friends and family. I had the fabulous Vida Carson as my second shooter and we both agreed that our first wedding of 2010 couldn't have been any better! Congratulations Andrew and Emily! :)

Because Andrew is from the UK, there were a lot of family members and friends that could not make the trip to Washington DC. Emily put together a collection of video clips from Andrew's loved ones congratulating them and sharing words of support. It was my absolute favorite part of the night!

Andrew took Emily to the observation deck of the monument and had his brother light flares i the shape of a heart on the ground below. It was such a gorgeous view and a perfect way to end the night!
