Gillian and Zach are the kind of folks you’re happy to call friends. And when they contacted me to be their Ashburn VA wedding photographer for their big day, really turned out to be like meeting some new friends. What was even more funny was that Gillian and I share the same hairstylist, who also did her wedding day hair and attended the wedding, so it was really just like hanging around friends! And what could be more fun that having a brewery wedding? Not much! The day began with a very relaxed pre-ceremony where I just hung around as Gillian got ready. Then we did some pre-ceremony formals (which seems to be gaining in popularity). Then their ceremony which was really beautiful with lots of happy guests, then afterward we continued with more formals. On the way to their reception we stopped at this park next to the church for some quick fun ablib shots, which both myself and the newlyweds really had a fun 20 mins doing that. Then over to their reception at Lost Rhino Retreat, which was a total blast! Just fun, happy, guests, food, and great beer. They danced, toasted, drank beer, cut cake, mingled, drank beer, ate, danced, beer… so much fun!
