One of the great things about having a wedding photography business while still living in the area where you grew up is that you get to photograph weddings in your hometown!! Leigh Ann got ready at her parents house which is in the neighborhood right next to my parents house! And their reception took place where we used to take all our prom and homecoming photos in high school! What a fun blast from the past!

Leigh Ann is an interior designer, so it should come as no surprise that she had a lot of ideas for her wedding day the minute they got engaged! She had a very clear vision for her wedding from the get go! Glam blush and black accents is what she told me over a year ago and that’s exactly what it was! Mismatched blush bridesmaids dresses (that each girl picked out on their own!), white and pink peony bouquets and classic black tuxes and bow ties! Their wedding day was class all the way! It even came up in the best man’s speech that Leigh Ann is always so put together and dressed to impress. Their wedding day definitely reflected that! 

Leigh Ann grew up in Yorktown while Josh lived all over the world, including Yorktown, with his Air Force family. They went to the same church while Josh lived in Yorktown and new each other a kids. It wasn’t until Josh moved back to the area after high school that they were reconnected. They ran into each other at a New Year’s party while Leigh Ann was home from college. Afterwards a series of messages and texts were exchanges and Josh offered to pick her up at the airport after visiting family in Ohio. They call this their first date! And the rest was history! 

Leigh Ann and Josh’s wedding day was such a breeze! Super sweet couple, beautiful weather, awesome family and more! And wait until you see how much fun their guests had at the reception! I’m usually able to predict what the dance scene is going to look like for each wedding and I was SO right about this one! I think every single guest was on the dance floor from the first song to the last! I can’t believe it’s my job to be at these celebrations!! There is certainly no shortage of FUN in this field!

Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Burdett!! Enjoy your Maui honeymoon!!
