Ben & Courtney at Whitehall Manor

I had the honor of photographing Ben and Courtney's wedding at Whitehall Manor in Bluemont, Virginia on Friday, April 16. One of the side benefits of shooting weddings in Loudoun is the chance to run into people I have gotten to know over the years. This wedding in particular seemed to pull together a lot of familiar faces. It started to rain right as the 6:00 pm outdoor ceremony began. Fortunately Ben and Courtney had decided to do all the images of the two of them together prior to the ceremony. Not only did it seem to relax both of them doing it this way, but it turned out that decision saved the photos as well. No way we could have done anything outdoor after the ceremony. By 6:30 it was too dark and too wet. These are a few initial images. Many more to come. Double click on the image to enlarge it.
