Nawel and Joe were married at River Farms American Horticulture Society in December. When Nawel asked me to be her DC wedding photographer, I was more than honored. I LOVE Winter, like crazy love it. There’s something completely magical about falling snow that makes Winter my favorite season. Although we didn’t have snow, we had a gorgeous backdrop and sunset. Nawel is every photographers’ dream because she discussed timeline with me and decided on a ceremony time that would lend itself to sunset portraits directly following the ceremony. Thank you, Nawel! You rock! Seriously, friends, talk to your photographer before you set your ceremony time. They can tell you what’s best!

Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Nawel and Joe exchanged vows inside the beautiful manor on the grounds. I adore small weddings with outdoor spaces. Yes, even in winter! I love winter! I think I already said that. 😉 Anywho, look at the gorgeousness these two create. Are you kidding me?!
