Agneta + Roman: Day After (sort of)

Last week, I finally met up with Agneta and Roman for a portrait session after being rained out on several previous attempts. I photographed their wedding back in January and we wanted to wait for warmer weather to take their "engagement session" photos. The wait was worth it and the sun was shining in a cloudless sky. And it must have put Roman in a good mood, because he indulged my whims and Agneta's pleading and joined us as we *delicately* scaled a barbed wire fence to use a giant field by their house. Thanks for trusting me and for dinner! I look forward to seeing you both again soon!

Sarah + Chris: Engaged!

Sarah, Chris and I met by the Memorials last weekend to fit in a quick engagement session before their wedding at the end of this month. And I was amazed at how beautiful Sarah's eyes were each time I looked through the camera. She and Chris were adorable as they laughed at each other throughout my attempts to pose them. I can't wait to work with them again on the 21st!

See you both soon!

Theresa + David: Engaged!

Theresa and David met at Georgetown University on the first day of the freshman year. Now, as they both graduate this year, they are in the midst of planning their November wedding. To celebrate their college years together, the location of their engagement and their graduation, we felt that the campus was a perfect location to take their engagement photos. It was great to share some of their special spots with them!









Theresa and David also showed me this seal as we were walking around campus and asked me to take a photo of them walking on it. It is a Georgetown Univ. tradition that you cannot step on it until after you have received your diploma which they did this spring!

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!
