Stone House at Stirling Ridge Wedding | Tinghui & Steve

We were introduced to Tinghui and Steve through their Planning/Design Company, Fifty Shades of Planning. Jeanine from Fifty Shades reached out to let me know that she was going to introduce us to this awesome couple from the Washington, DC area, and started explaining what the vibe of their wedding day was going to be. Jeanine’s energy and enthusiasm is contagious and by the time we were finished our call, I was hoping that I’d hear from T&S…and I did a few days later

Here are our favorites from Tinghui & Steve’s Stone House at Stirling Ridge wedding captured by Ralph Deal Photography.

Let’s Talk About Your Wedding!

“I highly recommend hiring Ralph Deal as your wedding photographer! Our pictures turned out beautifully and we got all of the shots that we wanted. Ralph was such a great communicator leading up to the wedding. We had several meetings to discuss what we wanted for our wedding, which was extremely helpful. Ralph wanted to know every detail about us and the wedding day and was very thorough. I especially recommend Ralph because he made the day run so smoothly. Because my fiancée and I didn’t want to do a first look, we had a very tight amount of time to get our pictures taken in.

Ralph was so good at directing us, our bridal party, and our families so he could quickly get the perfect shots. We spent the 2 hours between the mass ending and the reception starting getting all of the photos we wanted. Ralph was so efficient that we didn’t miss 1 minute of our cocktail hour! Ralph is not only a great photographer, but a nice and fun person to work with. I feel like we got to know Ralph and he got to know us. It was so nice working with someone who made us feel so comfortable.

And like I said, our pictures are absolutely gorgeous.
I’m so glad we had Ralph as our photographer to capture our day!”
