I had the opportunity to witness the formal wedding of Kailey and Josh at Mimslyn Inn in Front Royal. They were actually married during Covid and have a young son with another on the way, but finally had the chance to have their big wedding celebration with friends and family this fall at the gorgeous […]

Andi & John were married at the Historic House at Long Branch Farm. We were lucky in that we snuck in the intimate outdoor ceremony right before the rain and then had the gorgeous historic house for some pictures post ceremony. There was a break in the weather that allowed us for group images later […]

Like so many Covid-19 celebrations this year, Janet and Ben were married earlier and had their big wedding celebration with family and friends recently, at the Army Navy Country Club. They started things off with heart-warming secret Pinning ceremony for immediate family as Ben was promoted to Lt Commander. They then gathered all of their […]

Chelsea and Dexter had an absolutely stunning wedding at Bristow Manor. Between the stunning color palette (perfect for a late summer wedding), the old school Rolls Royce and the ethereal aesthetic, this wedding was definitely one to remember. Take a look at their flower arch; romantic, bright ceremony, and bright clean reception. Also note, these […]

We are Proud Army family here at casa Walter and service to others is a foundational element in our lives. It’s something we strongly believe in and instill in our kiddos and something we strive to do through our business.

Erin & Dave had a gorgeous Memorial Day weekend wedding at the Historic Kent Manor Inn on Kent Island in Maryland. This place is stunning and between Erin and her planner, the wedding was killer, even down to the finest detail. They even had oyster shell placards, which is like, the coolest thing. Erin’s dress […]

Ahhh! This girl was AHMAZING! First off, she’s obviously a stunner, but more importantly she was a stunner on the inside too! She comes from a military family, so incorporating that love of Country was really important during this session, especially with a deployed father. We spent our time at one my favorite winery’s in […]

My kiddos went to a fantastic pre-school (shout out to St. Michaels Academy!) and I met some awesome families while there. This fabulous family was one of them, and we did a Christmas Tree Farm session that I am absolutely in love with. They had the best kiddos that were so much fun to work […]

Grace and Evan met at the metro station by Catholic U. They both attended and once they started talking, their relationship bloomed from there. Being that it was the catalyst for their relationship, we met there again for their engagement session. It was a perfect day; fitting for the perfect couple and the flowers on […]
