Molly & Tony :: A River Farm Wedding
The day started out beautifully for Molly and Tony's wedding at one of my favorite places, River Farm, in Alexandria, VA. The sun was shining and the light was perfect for their garden ceremony. As soon as the ceremony was over, the clouds rolled in and we raced through the group portraits. Just as I was rushing to catch some portraits of Molly and Tony, the sky opened up and the rain came pouring down. Whoever said rain on your wedding day is good luck definitely wasn't a wedding photographer! Molly and Tony didn't let the rain dampen their spirits one bit, as they were surrounded by their closest friends and family.
Molly did a fantastic job of coordinating all of the wedding details with a vibrant color scheme of orange, pink and green. I loved the lanterns that were hung from the tent. The flowers from Royce Flowers were beautiful and, of course, matched perfectly. Guests were treated to a Spanish buffet from Avalon Caterers and a delicious cake from Victoria's Cakery.
Congratulaitons Molly and Tony! Thank you for having me as your wedding photographer.

I found this in the garden and had to take a picture. B is the initial of Tony's last name.
The ceremony setup...
Great details!
Perhaps my favorite shot of the day...
Love this shot!
If you look closely you will see the rain starting to fall...
This was literally seconds later...
Tony gave a heartfelt toast to his bride...
Had to end with a lantern shot. I was slightly obsessed with shooting the lanterns.
