Dana & Chris :: Wedding

Do you want to see my dress? asked Dana. We were at her house for a meeting about wedding photography. Renata and I squealed YES! in excitement. Dana went on to show us her dress and the magazine spread with her bridesmaid dresses. A lot of oohing and aahing ensued. We knew immediately we wanted to shoot her wedding.

Dana and Chris met at work; they are both middle school teachers. They fell in love quickly and were engaged over spring break. They planned a wedding for the next summer, two months away.

Dana and Chris' wedding was simple, elegant and warm. They made it clear that their priority was their friends and family and it was evident. Among their family members and friends, Dana and Chris both invited students and they spent the reception catching up with all their guests.

You gotta love church nurseries.

This bridal party was so fun!

Dana busted out her inner supermodel, which we love! (FYI, her pictures are featured on the NEW website, which will launch on September 1!)

Chris and the guys.

The ringbearer was adorable. He was so serious about his job.

The infamous cross shot.

Dana and Chris allotted extra time for pictures and picked a gorgeous park as the location!

The reception was held on a boat at sunset. Doesn't get much better than this.

Dana and Chris, thanks for letting us in on your day! Hope you are loving your new home in VA. Good luck with your continued schooling!
