Real Wedding: Classic Fall in Arlington (Part 1)

Fate strikes again! In February 2008, I volunteered for Brides Against Breast Cancer and worked in the dressing room helping brides-to-be try on different gowns. In walks Lauren. She had just gotten engaged the weekend before and decided to come over during her lunch hour to try on some dresses. We really hit it off and I wished her well once she found a dress she liked. Flash forward to a year later, Lauren remembered me and contacted me to help her with her wedding!

Lauren and Matt had a gorgeous day late in the fall with sunshine and just a slight chill in the air.

Go to Rob Holley’s blog for more photos from this fall wedding. Look at the photo of the bride with her father outside the church. Now, look between her Dad’s right leg and the bride. See me hiding behind them trying to stay out of the shot? Just noticed it myself.

Stay tuned for more — Vicky
