I first met Ellen a few months ago during a gorgeous sunset destination engagement in Northern Virginia, and I was so glad she would be traveling down to Yorktown for bridal portraits just a few months later. We skipped the beach and walked all around the quaint downtown area near Yorktown Victory Monument, even finding beautiful robin's egg blue shutters to utilize, matching perfectly with the theme of her wedding day.

I have saved these for weeks waiting for their big day to arrive and now that Alex and Ellen are married, I can finally share them! All I have to say is that if you think Ellen looks stunning in these portraits (and oh does she ever!) just WAIT until you see their wedding blog go live on Thursday. Ellen is a classically gorgeous bride, beautiful from the inside out, and I was honored to celebrate with her all the way from engagement to the wedding day...
