Jackie & Jeremy: Married!

Jackie and Jeremy were married last month on the Potomac River aboard the Capital Elite. I was excited for their wedding not only because this was my first wedding on a boat, but also because this couple lives right next door to my family! Congratulations to both of you and I am sure I will see you again soon!

Robin + Rae : Married!

I know that I am really behind in posting, so you can expect several updates from me over the next day or so. First, Robin and Rae were married back in March with a reception at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons's Corner on a perfect spring day. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather....or a lovelier couple!

Gen + Dan = Engaged!

Yesterday, I had a terrific afternoon with Gen and Dan in preparation for their April wedding. We wandered around Georgetown for a bit before we stopped to refuel with pizza and Belgian beer at Pizzeria Paradiso. And it was only after spending over 3 hours together did Dan and I realize that we had gone to the same high school, only one year apart! While my colleague, Joe will be their photographer for their wedding day, I hope to get a chance to stop by and see them before their ceremony. Regardless, best of luck to both of you and I am looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Matti + RJ

About two weeks ago, I went to hang out with Massachusetts photographer, Rebekah Kay during the reception of her friends Matti and RJ at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, VA. The party was fabulous, and guests from eight years old to eighty didn't leave the dance floor all night!! And much of this was due to the great job D.J. Craig Nalley of Nalley Enterprises, Inc. (301.460.3605) did in keeping the music going strong.

Portraits - Outside of the box

I was recently chided by a friend (and admitted blog-stalker) that I haven't updated my blog in a while. So, just for you Becca, here are some portraits that I took in July during an event that I organized with fellow photographers Jason Domingues and Mark Eric. The event took place in Atlantic City, NJ with 11 brides (a few grooms) and 50 photographers seeking to think outside the box and create art that didn't worry about getting the wedding dress a little bit dirty. Although this type of photography is frequently referred to as 'Trash-the-Dress', it's not really about destroying the gown as much as creating truly memorable images without the hesitation of harming the dress that usually accompanies the wedding day. In the case of our 11 brides, each of the dresses cleaned right up with a bit of help from their local dry cleaners. Enjoy!

Agneta + Roman

This one image seemed to summarize the style and elegance that Agneta brought to her wedding day in January.

Maria + Patrick: Engaged!

In an effort to remedy my blogging backlog, here are a few images from a family/engagement session in preparation for Maria and Patrick's wedding in August. Maria's family was in town visiting from Venezuela, and made me feel welcome from the moment I met them. I look forward to seeing them again this summer!
