"it smells good in here"

“Evolved individuals know that people who are not intuitive can be dangerous to work with, since they are guided solely by the current appearance of things that are in reality, changing. Evolved individuals seek out others who have intuition and vision - a form of intelligence that comes from cultivating the instincts, observing the direction of change, apprehending the evolution of ideas.”
— Lao Tzu

aimee + brian = true love

About midsummer, Aimee emailed me into photographing her and Brian's wedding.

I wasn't so sure.

After the big day, I couldn't be more thankful she did. Everything and everyone there was so beautiful, it would have been impossible for me to not do a good job. Here are a few of my favorite things about the day.

01) Aimee's sense of style. Aimee is an interior designer and she's got this whole super chic "sings like an angel" from the 1940's with my musician husband fabulously in love and so not stressed out about this wedding kind of thing going. So basically a photographer's dream.

02) The glow. This wedding happened on a gorgeous day in mid October in Richmond, VA when it was about 72 degrees out and the sun made everything glow, including every one's skin. Also a photographer's dream.

03) The flowers. Aimee, her mom Joann, her sister Alison, and her Aunt Nancy labored over gossamer hand crafted flowers for the ceremony. They were everywhere, and they were the perfect unique addition to her wedding.

Thank you Aimee + Brian. You guys are awesome.
