Jessica Strickland Photography

lauren.&.robbie

Wow…where to begin? I guess by saying that Lauren & Robbie are two of my closest friends and being by their side on their wedding day mean’t soo very much to me. I love them soo dearly and cherish our friendship very much. They are both photographers, we all met in photography school. They started dating there….6 years ago. We’ve shared soo much…soo many memories, soo many great moments! This was one of those! They were married in Virginia, just outside of Washington DC. It was a fantastic, gorgeous, special wedding with tons of incredible moments. It was at this beautiful garden/museum location. It was
really soo perfect for a wedding…with endless locations for photographs! We were limited on time, but if I had all day to shoot there, I would use every minute! Lauren is one of the most beautiful people I know, she is just radiant and has always been! Her smile literally lights up a room..i love that about her! Robbie is one of those people who you just love to death. You love to be around him, he’s always making you laugh & smile…he’s such a great person. Together, they are incredible and truly precious! (I arrived a bit on the sick side and they made me soup and brought it to me at the hotel, during the rehearsal dinner!). They were mean’t for one another, I knew that when they started dating many years ago. L&R….you know how I adore you and I wish you every wonderful thing in life & in marriage! The wedding was amazing!!! I can’t wait for the future…so many more wonderful memories to come! Love you….have a blast in Cali! :)

Between your beautiful photos and Gary’s video clip, I feel like I was there enjoying the wedding too! Excellent gallery as usual. I really like the serious portrait of the bride against the brick with her hand up on the post. Looks fit for BRIDES magazine. Actually, so do all your photos. You are so talented!

Beautiful work, as usual, Jessica. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the shot of them walking through the garden, all backlit, and flare at the bottom of the frame. Very original. Like always, your images have your very distinctive thumbprint all over them.

Jessica! Those are fantastic. I can’t get over the “stern-faced” close up and the one to the left of it with the couple in front of the brick house. The lighting looks glorious. Was that all natural light? Might I ask what lens that was?
Awesome!
