Jenna and Dan’s Wedding at Belmont Country Club

It was a beautiful, sunny day at Belmont Country club when Jenna and Dan tied the knot!

There are so many reasons that I absolutely adored being there on Jenna and Dan’s big day:

  1. From their initial engagement session at the DC Monuments, to this stunning celebration, Jenna and Dan were so much fun to work with. They were laid back, quick to smile, and delightfully quirky. (Aka my kind of people).
  2. Jenna’s dress was absolutely gorgeous and I was lowkey jealous every time she twirled it around.
  3. They were nerds and I LOVE that. More people recognized my Lord of the Rings tattoo at this wedding than any other, and I always appreciate a fellow fan.

Let me take you through the day:

Getting Ready

It was a beautiful morning as Jenna and her bridesmaids steamed their dresses and got their hair and makeup done. As it usually goes, “getting ready” for the groomsmen took much less time, so they played a couple of rounds of pool.

The Father/Daughter First Look

These first looks are always so emotional and one of my favorite parts of any wedding day!

Jenna and Dan’s First Look

As she waited for the first look, Jenna twirled around in her dress (as you should 100% do when you have a skirt as floofy as this one). After an emotional first look, we gave them some time to enjoy the moment and we prepared for the wedding party to join in!

The Wedding Party

Sometimes you just have to let the groomsmen have their fun!

The Ceremony

The sun was shining as Jenna and Dan finally tied the knot! It was so heartwarming to watch them make their vows surrounded family and close friends.

The Portraits

My favorite part of any wedding day! This is when we get some one-on-one time with the bride and groom and truly bring their wedding vision to life. On top of their gorgeous venue, Jenna and Dan got a beautiful golden hour sunset that we made the most of! The best man brought a bubble gun that we had some fun with.

Also, please enjoy the BTS photo of Brad, the videographer, helpfully holding the veil for some of our close-up shots =)

The Dances

Whether it’s a first dance for the couple, or special dances with their parents, this is a beautiful and emotional part of any wedding day.

The Reception

Let the party begin!

It was a truly beautiful day for a truly amazing couple. Congratulations Jenna and Dan! I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you.

We photographers love a black and white edit.. Recently on Tiktok I saw a video of a wedding photographer and videographer (playfully) insulting each other. One of the videographer’s comments was “Do your clients know they got so many black and white photos because you messed up the settings on your camera?” Which…fair. Sometimes a […]
