Claudia & Bill – Winchester VA Event Photographer

Claudia and Bill have been married 40 years, and their family and friends planned and executed a complete surprise party for them. I was asked to be their Winchester VA event photographer at the George Washington Hotel in downtown Winchester. A beautiful hotel with several fantastic event ballrooms, and a warm and cozy bar/pub. The staff at GWH is also great to work with. On this day Claudia and Bill had no idea of the surprise waiting for them, when they walked in it was really touching to see their reactions. I was there a few hours photographing which started with cocktail hour mingling, then the big surprise, then some more candid’s, followed by dinner and several wonderful toasts by their family and friends, and a cutting of their anniversary cake, while a picture slideshow of their 40 years together ran in the background.
