washington dc bridal shower

ashley-relvas-photography

The rooftop of The Hay Adams in Washington DC provided the most beautiful setting for this bridal shower (check out the view). However, the love of friends and family is really what made it so special.  This beautiful bride grew up in the area but now lives in Hawaii (anyone besides me a little jealous?) and came home for a weekend to be showered by those who care about her most.  I had such a wonderful time with these ladies and the bride’s sweet grandmother just melted my heart.  Kaz, you are going to be such a beautiful bride and I am so thankful to have been part of this day.  Take a look at the amazing spread put together by the Hay Adams and just how much fun was had.  ashley-relvas-photographyashley-relvas-photographyashley-relvas-photographyashley-relvas-photographyashley-relvas-photographywashington-dc-bridal-shower-32ashley-relvas-photographyashley-relvas-photographywashington-dc-bridal-shower-46ashley-relvas-photographyashley-relvas-photographywashington-dc-bridal-shower-28ashley-relvas-photographyashley-relvas-photography

mere & chris on film

m&c-film-virginia

So you all have already seen a preview of these images but I am so excited to share more.  As I mentioned before, I shot my very first rolls of film about a month ago and fell in love.  There is something so incredible about the act of shooting film that I can’t quite put into words.  Plus, the beauty of the colors and softness that result is undeniable.  I still have so so much to learn and improve on but I absolutely cannot wait to shoot my next rolls.  A huge thank you to Lucy Taylor for mentoring me, inspiring me, and sharing her knowledge of film.  Thank you to Edward of Contax Rental for providing me with a camera last minute and for being so helpful and kind.  And lastly, thank you to the two greatest friends a girl could ask for, Mere & Chris, for modeling (in a time crunch before the sun set) and always encouraging me.  Scans by the wonderful Film Box Lab.

film preview

Just a few weeks ago I shot my very first rolls of film and absolutely LOVED it!  I received my scans back yesterday and just had to share a little preview of how beautiful film is.  Definitely have a lot more to learn but cannot wait to shoot more film. More from these first few rolls coming soon to the blog.
