Michele and Wes were a great couple who graduated from James Madison University so as you can imagine, the color scheme’s main focus was purple. Michele got ready at her parents home in Manassas, Va. It was extremely hot that day and along with the heat they were worried because the Manassas Sesquicentennial was scheduled to be celebrated that day as well which included re-enactments and large crowds of people so as you can imagine we were expecting a lot of traffic as well. Because of this we took their portraits at a friends house rather than at historic sites in Manassas to avoid any crowds. Ironically due to the heat most activities were cancelled which was nice but the heat really made it for a difficult portrait session. Luckily the friend had a very god AC unit so we were able to jump in and out of the building in between shots. The ceremony was held at the All Saints Catholic Church in Manassas, Va. The reception was held at the Continental Event Center also in Manassas, Va. There was lots of fun, lots of dancing and they ended the night with a sparkler send off which was great and made for awesome photos.
