Laid-Back Lansdowne Resort Wedding in Summer

If you’re looking for real Lansdowne Resort wedding photos, I’ve got just the thing for you.

Tara and Mike’s wedding day was full of personality, laughter, and meaningful moments. These two kept things stress-free and laid-back, starting with a meaningful ceremony at St. Veronica Catholic Church in Chantilly, VA, and wrapping up the celebration with an intimate reception at Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg.

They didn’t want stiff, overly posed photos, so we kept our portrait sessions short, sweet, and true to who they are. Most of the day’s magic unfolded indoors (shout out to the summer heat), but we did sneak out for a few golden hour shots before heading back inside to soak up the party with their favorite people.

One of my favorite moments was recreating a golf-themed wedding photo from Tara’s parents’ wedding, complete with the groom teeing off and the bride and bridal party looking on. It was the perfect nod to family traditions and their shared love of the game.

Scroll through for a look at this laid-back Lansdowne Resort wedding and see why smaller weddings with big energy are some of my favorites to shoot.
