Piedmont Country Club Wedding Photography Engagement Session Photographer in Northern Virginia

Rachel and Ryan are getting married this fall at the Piedmont Country Club and I am so so excited to photograph their wedding!! I met these two at Starbucks and noticed just how easy-going they were from the very first couple of minutes I started talking to them! The both of them have little kiddos that they take care of but still made time for each other when they first started dating! They would always catch late night movies around Reston whenever they could sneak away from the kids.

We took their engagement session pictures at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens which was BEAUTIFUL with everything in full bloom for the first time in months! It definitely looked so different than Madhu & Colin’s engagement session which was only a little over a month ago! These two are so so cute together which makes them such naturals in front of the camera! Also, it didn’t hurt that Rachel’s dress was an INCREDIBLE emerald green!! That and the fact that she has one of the most unique rings I’ve seen, you have to scroll on down to see for yourself! They almost decided to get married on the beach either in Cancun or at Nag’s Head (I would have hundred percent been ready to travel down!!) but decided to stay more local at Piedmont! I can’t wait to hear the toasts and speeches from their set of friends and see how Rachel’s gold, maroon and orange vision comes to life! Counting down the days!!
