DMV Wedding & Portrait Photography
Congratulations on this new chapter in your lives! Your wedding story is a one of a kind storybook where you and your fiancé are the stars. It is just the beginning of a life time of love and adventures you two love birds will experience and cherish.
You have spent months preparing for this extraordinary day. The love you share, the memories you make on your special day will live on through your one of a kind photo's for generations to come. Whether you are getting married at an exotic location, at a church or a venue Brandie McMinn Photography is a traveling wedding photographer who goes anywhere your heart desires.
I love to capture every moment, all of the emotions, all of the details that make your day unique and extremely special. The only way to really remember every detail of your wedding is to have it well documented. My husband and I are a team therefore, you will have two photographers to document your wedding story.
My wedding was twenty-seven years ago and to be completely honest most of it is a blur. So many details and emotions from that day that I wish I had weren't captured. Of course I have the typical posed photos but I do not have the raw moments that made that day so special. I would love to look back through my photos and laugh or cry while I'm reliving one of the biggest and most important days of our lives.
Starting A Family
As time goes by you may decide that it's time to start a family. Are you expecting a baby, adopting a child? No matter how your family is growing it is definitely a special time for you and your family. I thoroughly enjoy documenting families. Maternity photos have evolved over the years. These photos are meant to show how beautiful you are and to spotlight your little miracle that is about to change your life forever.
The birth of your baby is a monumental moment that no doubt will be the best day of your life. Whether you give birth yourself or you adopt your miracle baby or child this priceless memory is one you will never want to forget. No matter how your story develops it is your story. It is unique and amazing and an extremely exciting time for your family. You will always remember how adorable his first smile is and how he melts your heart with his precious eyes as he or she looks loving a you for the first time. You will never forget how quickly her tiny finger has you instantly wrapped the moment you lay eyes on her. The way you felt the first time you were handed your baby. You will be overwhelmed with emotion that should be well documented.
When I had my kids birth photography wasn't a thing. I only have three photos from when my daughter was born and my husband and I aren't even in the photos with her. I really wish I had beautiful photos from her birth and from our stay in the hospital. I do have some photos that my mom was able to get when my son was born. While I am extremely grateful that I have these photos they are definitely not professional photos. This is why I offer birth photography. I think everybody should have the opportunity to have amazing photos of their birth story. The day you give birth will be a blur. You don't want to forget all of the details from that day.
