Meg & Brennan's winter wedding was at The Ospreys at Belmont Bay in Woodbridge Virginia! The Ospreys is a beautiful golf club located right along The Occocquan River. Meg & Brennan's winter wedding was filled with lots of beautiful Christmas themed details from the moment you entered the venue and throughout the venue space. They had a technology free ceremony asking guest to avoid using their cell phones in order to focus on the ceremony and allowed for me to capture images without cell phones in the way. For the reception catering was provided by Shawn's Smokehouse and music by Black Tie Entertainment! I enjoyed capturing this beautiful wedding along with all the love and candid moments! Even though the temperature was around freezing we were able to go outside to capture some night portraits around the golf club.
Meg choose to have a "first look" with her dad. Her dads reaction when he saw his daughter is her wedding dress on her wedding day for the first time was priceless!
