I thought that the photo above really captures the essence of a NY sidewalk.

We took the subway uptown to Central Park

Later Shannon changed into an evening dress for dancing.

Because of the snow the bride decided to have the ceremony at the same location as the reception - Sheraton Park South.

The ceremony took place in the same ballroom as the reception. 

Sally Raderer and her team from "Something Blue" were on hand. Naturally, a professional wedding coordinator really helps to keep things running smoothly.

Jenny and Mitch would see each other prior to their ceremony. To make the moment special, we decided to have them meet in the Flemish Room of the Jefferson Hotel. These images were taken when they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day.

After the ceremony at Temple Beth El in Richmond, the couple arrived at The Jefferson Hotel.

We always enjoy working alongside wedding coordinator Naomi Meyer as well as Trish Brinkley of The Jefferson.   Consulting by Naomi    The Jefferson Hotel

They met while in school at Virginia Tech.

We were certainly glad to help them out - we booked this wedding just 3 days before it was scheduled to take place. Nancy took this photo on Main Street in Poolesville - the town's Christmas lights are seen in the background.

Jessica and Scott were recently engaged and they are planning a November 2010 wedding. We decided on downtown Richmond (in the snow) as the location for their E Shoot. In the photo above, I captured the couple walking through the snow on the grounds of the State Capital. You can see the historic Bell Tower in the the background. The blanket covering of snow provided a source for soft winter light. 

Later, we would head south through downtown Richmond and we concluded our shoot at The James Center - which was well decorated for the Holidays.

                                The Bride (Sarah Arthur) was well prepared and provided matching boots for each bridesmaid.

              Special credit to Powhatan County VDOT for keeping the road to The Mill at Fine Creek in such good shape. The highway was kept open all day and we found it to be quite manageable - considering the amount of snow that had fallen.

     The staff at The Mill at Fine Creek did their part to keep the entrance (above) open and the parking lot was well cleared. The Kabota tractor/snowblower was the right match for the deep snow.  

                                             The bride ( Esther May) arriving.

                           These shots of Esther and her family were taken before the 5 PM ceremony. 

                                                     The groom - Ryan Horner. 

The ceremony was held inside, and after the ceremony the same room would be used for a dinner / reception.
