We first met Stephanie many years ago, when we all were working for The Gazette newspapers. We’d kept in touch over the years and were so happy to see\u00a0her engagement announcement to John posted on Facebook! Shortly afterward we met up with the happy couple and their dog, Bailey, in the Great Falls area of Maryland\u00a0to capture their engagement session.<\/p>\n

In October, it was time for their wedding day! St. John’s Episcopal Church<\/a> in McLean, Virginia, was the setting for the ceremony.<\/p>\n
