Colyn and Jordan

Having the opportunity to work with Diana at a wedding is always a plus. Having the opportunity for Diana to photograph most of the wedding is just another testament to her extensive skills and the flexibility we have.

A Friday wedding is usually a plus, since most weddings are on Saturdays. This one took place at the Dulles Marriott near Dulles International Airport. I drove down separately from Diana, since I had to leave early to announce a football game.

I got things started by visiting the room where the ladies were getting ready. On the way, I ran across the flower girl on the way to join the rest of the bride’s party.

We proceeded from there to an interior courtyard at the hotel where the light was quite nearly perfect. One advantage we had with this wedding party was that an old friend and former employee was a very good friend of the bride’s and was in the wedding party. Brandy is on the right in this photo.

We only had about 15 minutes worth of good light. I tried to make good use of it.

On the way out to the lobby, we stopped in a hallway that was laden with south-facing windows and took a few shots with Colyn looking out.

From this point, Diana pretty much took over. The ceremony went along without incident, but with lots of happy people.

Afterward, Diana took the wedding party to a rather picture-perfect corner to do some additional photos. Capturing the special shots means all the difference to wedding photography.



During the reception, Diana got even more creative.


After the wedding, Diana had a quick meal with her assistant and headed home.
