It's always an honor when another photographer wants to work with you.  Brian is a sports photographer (VT fans know his work, for sure!) and I've followed his photos on Flickr for a long time now.  It is fun to work with a groom who is completely, genuinely excited about his pictures, even enough to send me a video walk-through of the reception site almost a year in advance.  I'm psyched to shoot his and Nikki's wedding in North Carolina next June.

Samantha and Kyle are getting married next May at the Hahn Horticultural Gardens on the Virginia Tech campus.  They are both Hokies who met here in Blacksburg, so it only seemed appropriate that we do our shoot in some of Virginia Tech's prettiest spots.  We shot most of these at the duck pond and across the street in the Ag quad and drill field.  Samantha and Kyle brought their dog along, which made for some really fun pictures, and they were both - or rather, all three - total naturals in front of the camera.

And I do have to say, HER SMILE!!!!  So gorgeous.
