I know I say this all the time, but I have been blessed with some seriously amazing couples during my many years as a Washington, DC wedding photographer. Each and every one of them are unique in their own way and it’s fun learning about what sets them apart. I’m not just talking about what makes their weddings different in terms of colors or location, but what makes them who they are as people both separately and as a couple! Kelly and Drew are definitely no exception to this because I think these two might win the award out of all my couples of “who has been together the longest”.
See, Kelly and Drew have known each other practically their whole lives; they started dating all the way back in high school which is almost unheard of these days! They took some time apart in college to learn a bit about themselves, as Kelly was a few hours away at VCU in Richmond, VA while Drew studied at George Mason Univerity in Northern VA. The distance was hard, but in the end they came back to one another which is how you know it was truly meant to be. These two now live in Centreville where they are saving up to buy their first home together! Their wedding is next October at Airlie Center — one of my all time favorite places to shoot! To say I’m excited would be a major understatement :) :)
Side note: Tomorrow I’m going to be posting another awesome engagement session, this time at JMU with a 2015 couple: Sam & Matt. You’re probably like, “okay, Alicia, why are you mentioning this?” Well. Sam and Kelly are actually very close friends!! They are part of a group of 6 couples that are all getting married in 2015. And I am lucky enough to be shooting both their weddings — how cool is that!? 2015 is going to be a GREAT year!
