Jen + Ajo: Married!

On Saturday, Jen and Ajo celebrated their wedding in Silver Spring surrounded by family and friends. I was so excited for their day, in particular because the weather was simply perfect. And Argyle Country Club was a terrific venue to capture this gorgeous couple. They celebrated their vows in a Christian Indian ceremony where Jen wore a traditional western gown, however halfway through the reception, she changed into a stunning purple sari that was blessed during the ceremony and presented to her by Ajo and his family. You will also notice the purple thread she wore around her neck during the photos. This thread was from the sari and held a pendent, called the Taali, or leaf shaped gold pendant with a cross sealed on it, which was also given to her during the ceremony.

I truly enjoyed photographing their wedding, and had such a hard time narrowing down my favorites for the blog. I can't wait to begin working on their album!!

Enjoy Italy, and I will talk to you when you get back!

Tunisha + Anthony: Married!

On Mother's Day, I took a drive down to Newport News to photograph the marriage of Tunisha and Anthony at the Omni Newport News. Despite the fact that we had never met, Tunisha greeted me with a huge hug as soon as she arrived and I knew it was going to be a great day. Anthony and I were able to sneak outside with the guys just before the sky opened up and showered us with yet another rainy spring weekend, but the impending clouds made for a really cool background in their photos.

The smiles these two shared for the evening made the drive so worth is for me and I also want to thank their family and friends for making me feel so welcome during the reception. I wish you all the best and a lifetime of luck and happiness!!

Everett + Susanne: Engaged!

Last Saturday, I joined Everett and Susanne at the Capital for their engagement pictures. Since I had two weddings in addition to their portraits last weekend, I've been a bit slow in posting on the blog. But I couldn't help but laugh when I received this message from them this afternoon:

"We know you are busy, but I can't resist asking how the engagement photos are coming. Any ETA? I can ask Susanne to write up an algorithm, but I'm pretty sure that your busyness of schedule is directly proportional with our excitement at mooning over pictures of ourselves. -Ev"

As I promised, here are a few to ease your excitement. Susanne, congrats again on the completion of your Ph.D. and I will see you in July!!

Trish + Scott: MARRIED

Tricia and Scott were married last Friday at Herrington on the Bay in Rose Haven, MD. Although they had planned to be married on the water at sunset, the weather didn't seem to want to cooperate. The rain didn't dampen their spirits any though, and I think I may have even been more disappointed that the ceremony wasn't be outside than they were!

I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon in Hawaii and I hope to see you around the neighborhood when you get back!
