Now that editing is caught up, the holidays are over, and I’m getting back into the swing of things, I thought it be a great time to catch up on blogging! First up is this incredibly stunning Great Marsh Warrenton VA Film Maternity Session for Weddings by Hana. I’m sure you’ve seen her pop up on my Instagram a time or two. We have worked together for the last few years and she photographed my maternity session in 2019 so it was such an honor photographing hers a year later.
In case you’ve never heard of Great Marsh or you’ve never seen it, it’s one of the most amazing wedding venue’s in Virginia. When you drive through the gates you drive along a beautiful tree lined driveway. Then you see this stunning Georgian mansion. It’s one of my favorite venues because the mansion is simply breathtaking. I feel like I’m in Europe because of the amazing architecture and landscaping.
In 2019, Weddings by Hana photographed my maternity session at Great Marsh so it was fun coming back a year later to photograph her maternity session. Hana’s baby girl, Victoria will be her and Javier’s second child. Their first child, Nora is so excited to become a big sister!!
