Two of the most enjoyable aspects of my work as a wedding photographer, in the Washington, DC, area are capturing this most special day in the lives of my clients and doing that at some of the most beautiful places in this region of the country. On September 4, 2011, Ryan and Lindsay were married at the historic Oatlands Plantation, in Leesburg, VA.
From The Oatlands website:
A stately mansion, beautiful rolling farmland, exquisite gardens, a repository of more than 200 years of American history and culture – all of these can be found at Oatlands Historic House and Gardens near Leesburg, Virginia.
Established in the early 19th century by George Carter, Oatlands was a thriving wheat plantation and base for numerous business enterprises until the time of the Civil War. During most of the 20th century Oatlands served as the country estate of Mr. and Mrs. William Corcoran Eustis, affluent Washingtonians with strong ties to the American political arena.
Now a National Trust Historic Site and a National Historic Landmark, Oatlands is flourishing with four full seasons of activities. Come visit this beautiful part of Virginia with its important historic landscape, hear the stories Oatlands has to tell, discover the history of the place and its personalities, and enjoy the many programs and events at Oatlands.
The Oatlands does not disappoint. The lush sylvan setting, the experienced wedding staff and a friendly, down to earth grounds crew, willing to help whenever I asked…and more often, before I asked…made The Oatlands the perfect choice for the bride and groom… and their photographer. Add great food from RSVP Catering and good sounds from Jeff Furnas of Mydeejay and this a wedding to remember!
Congratulations to Ryan and Lindsay!
