Lesly + Andrew: Catholic University and Fort Belvoir Officer’s Club Wedding

lesly and andrew were married a couple of weeks ago on a beautiful late september day. i have been looking forward to their wedding from the first time i met lesly. she came to a consult with her sister and i immediately knew we were a match. one big thing we both share in common is our love for hawai’i. we’ve both lived there and have a love and longing for that beautiful little island filled with aloha. in fact at the time we first met my phone number was still an 808 number and that is part of the reason she contacted me!

 i have greatly enjoyed getting to know lesly and andrew and i look forward to continuing a friendship with them. now…let’s take a look at their gorgeous wedding. lesly and her girls got ready at a  hotel in dupont and i was there to capture the details.

lesly and andrew decided to see each other before the ceremony for a “first look”.  andrew was blind folded and led by his sister down to meet lesly.

this is why having two photographers is such a good idea. while i was able to capture lesly’s face above, kyle was able to get andrew’s face.
