emily & derek

Graceful, classy, fun, creative, unique. Those are words that would describe Emily, and those words also happen to describe hers and Derek's wedding day as well. Their wedding was very untraditional. Emily wore a gorgeous black dress, with bright red heels, and they opted for a small wedding day with just their immediate families there to celebrate the special day with them. Emily and Derek's baby girl, Olivia was due in just weeks, and they were in the process of moving, so while someone else in Emily's position may have freaked out, Emily took everything gracefully in stride, all while being very classy. And because their little girl was due any day, and they hadn't gotten engagement photos done, we turned the wedding photo shoot into a wedding/engagement/maternity shoot, and had a blast walking around Old Town Alexandria all day. I loved their fun romantic and intimate wedding, and it was such a blessing to be a part of. Here are a few of my favorites:
