Personal connections always make photo shoots so much more memorable and fun.  I connected with Heather a few years ago at the Holly Hills Bridal Expo when my booth happened to be next to her Heather Rae Style Studio display.  After talking for a few minutes, we discovered that her fiance, Michael, was a high […]

Stephen and Michelle are seriously just the nicest couple and their Washington DC and Hotel Monaco DC wedding was stunning!
