After about a month off from shooting, I was so ready to get behind the camera again. Last weekend we wrapped up our holiday vacation and kicked off the new year by celebrating with Kelsey and Johannes! Their wedding was in Williamsburg, which is always a treat for us because it’s so close to home! Being able to get into the car after a long wedding day and drive thirty minutes home is such a rare occurrence that when it happens, we really get excited! That wasn’t the best part of the day though. By far the best part of the day was seeing this sweet couple tie the knot. After many years together, they finally became husband and wife during an intimate candlelit ceremony at the Williamsburg Winery! All day it was easy to sense how much these two are meant for one another. The way Johannes soothed Kelsey’s nerves at the first look and their sweet, heartfelt vows all reminded me how much I love what I do!!

Please enjoy some of my favorites from our first wedding of 2015!!

Loved how cozy and candlelit the winery was! Johannes and his family are from Germany and I think the winery has such a German feel to it!

After the ceremony, we snuck down to the wine cellar for a few portraits! Taking portraits with off camera flash is definitely not my usual style, but I love how these turned out!
