I know there’s been a lot of blog silence from me this summer. I had a very leisurely mid-July through mid-August and that allowed me to get almost completely caught up. Galleries and albums and blog submissions–oh my! Anyway, I have been horribly remiss in posting any engagement photos shot this summer so here they […]
Having a wedding in July in Washington is a hit or miss proposition. One thing Laura and Sam knew for sure is that they didn’t want to go outside. Good thing they had such a gorgeous place for their wedding and reception! I love Carnegie Institution for Science. I hadn’t been there in a couple […]
It was such a pleasure to work with Olivia and Don throughout the whole wedding process. They showed their excellent taste by hiring me right away after our meeting and proceeded to be easy and comfortable during our engagement shoot at Reston Town Center. So I expected more of the same for their wedding day […]
It was nice for once to not worry about the weather on a wedding Saturday. June 11 was very sunny and hot but Katie and Tim’s wedding was all inside so we didn’t have to deal with that variable. Katie got ready for the wedding at her parent’s house. I was thrilled to take advantage […]
One of the first things Kristi and Dan told me when we met to discuss their upcoming June wedding was that they didn’t like having their pictures taken. I could totally relate because it’s not my favorite thing to do either. They insisted that they always make goofy faces and weren’t comfortable posing. What they […]
I was so thrilled to get the phone call from Kat that she wanted me to photograph her wedding to Daniel over Memorial Day weekend. But then came the snag. He was finishing up FBI training at Quantico and now was being posted in Philadelphia and all this was happening a couple months before the […]
Kelsey and Robert were way ahead of the curve. They hired me to shoot their May 28, 2011 wedding in November of 2009. I shot their engagement shoot not long after and then all we had to do is wait another year and a half for the big day! I was excited to be back […]
I don’t even know where to start with Liz and Matt. Really it started (as many of my weddings do) with Lindsay and Chris’ wedding in August of 2009. Liz and Lindsay are Virginia Tech sorority sisters. And Liz is one of a handful of my brides who knew she wanted me to be her […]
Katy and Paul’s wedding was my second time at Strong Mansion in the month of May. And unfortunately, just like the first one, the forecast was not promising. Spitting rain, drizzle and an ominous forecast for later in the day had me more upset than usual. There’s always a rain plan but Strong Mansion […]
My departure almost a year ago (!!) from the Post was the event that brought Sarah and I together. In my email to the newsroom saying goodbye, I happened to mention that if anyone needed a wedding photographer to be sure and give me a call. Sarah’s response was pretty quick for her wedding to […]
