Bethany and Anthony’s wedding at the Grand Atrium in Virginia was a fun, fun affair. The rain threatened to ruin the special day but you really can’t tell it from these pictures. The sun came out to cheer us on during the ceremony, the bride and groom looked amazing and the wedding party was game for lots of fun at the reception. What more can a photographer ask for? Congratulations to Bethany and Anthony!

Something about this framed picture of Bethany and Anthony strikes me as timeless. Not sure when it was taken exactly but it sort of reminds me of a high school prom picture. You know, the kind you take to show everyone you are a couple in high school. Bethany and Anthony look so young and in love, you get the feeling they’ve come a ways. The flower petals are a lovely complement…

Bethany’s dress was “cinderella chic”. It was a tailored confection with intricate yet simple and classy detailing. I don’t believe any bride can wear this style better than she did. She looked like an angel in the sunlight that streamed into the church as they exchanged vows. I thought that was fitting because she has such an amazing spirit. The fabric and bling on the dress perfectly matched her shoes and together they made a perfect highlight.

The Daily Bread was a popular Christian publication when I was growing up, full of many nuggets of wisdom. When Bethany asked me not to cover the words “Holy Bible” when we were taking the picture of her ring in the second shot I knew I had to get a shot of the Daily bread books that were right there in the room with us.

Below is the moment the bride entered the church. Look at the expressions on the guys’ faces. Anthony and his best man have obviously been struck by the bride’s beauty while Bethany’s brother and some of the other groomsmen look at Anthony to see his reaction. This one is a classic.
