{Hannah & Michael’s Woodlands at Algonkian Wedding}

I don’t think I can rave enough about Hannah and Michael, how much of a wonderful couple they are and what a beautiful wedding they had!! Their day was full of beautiful lighting, gold accent decorations, yummy food and desserts, and handmade wedding dresses and florals! Also, this was my first Woodlands at Algonkian wedding and it was just gorgeous!

For all of you looking for wedding dress companies, all I can give you here is inspiration because THIS BRIDE MADE HER OWN WEDDING DRESS!!! And it’s STUNNING!! I can’t even. Also, all the florals were done by her mom!!! GOODNESS, it’s so much fun getting to work with such a creative family!

A little story about these two – I went to school with Hannah! We were close friends from 5th/6th grade all the way up until we graduated high school. She was always the friend who was super smart and crazily crafty – constantly making beautiful art projects or sewing projects. She was a wizard when it came to all things math, so it’s no wonder she’s an engineer now!

FUN FACT: For those of you who read my instagram post from a loooong time ago, she is ALSO the friend in the pink ribbon story! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, basically I hated pink all my life. In high school she tied a pink ribbon around my wrist until I overcame my hatred of pink. Ha! I wore it for years and had her ceremoniously cut it off when we graduated high school! Now pink is one of my brand colors!

I got to see Hannah after many years (and meet Michael) at their stunning DC sunrise engagement session earlier this year. They are such a sweet couple – both quiet introverts who are super smart and are literally the perfect match for each other. Photographing them on their wedding day was a breeze and SUCH a joy for me. Anyway, enough story time, SCROLL DOWN to see their Woodlands at Algonkian wedding day in full!!
