What a pleasure it was to start 2016 off with Lindsay + Meredith and their Park Hyatt wedding in downtown DC. Early January can be a risky weather proposition in Washington but we lucked out with an unseasonably warm day–warm enough for a charming first look in front of the iconic Blue Duck Tavern big […]
A Strong Mansion wedding anytime of year is beautiful but on a sunny fall day, it is spectacular. Melissa + Mike’s mid-November wedding was a crisp and bright day with just the last remnants of foliage to color the trees. They are both high school English teachers at Wootton High School (a rival of my kids school […]
It is such a treat for me to spend time with this adorable (and growing) family. I met them last year when H was pregnant and they wanted some family photos with their young daughter and then again once their baby boy was born. They are so completely willing to let me document their interaction […]
Planning a wedding with events in two locations 45 minutes apart can be tricky. But when both parts are filled with tradition and fun (and planner Janice Carnevale of Bellwether Events to keep it all running smoothly!) it turns out to be a great wedding day. The first part of the day took place on the […]
Katherine and Trey could not have picked a more glorious fall day for their classic 10/10 wedding. We gathered at Katherine’s parents lovely home in Alexandria near the Potomac River for photos before the ceremony. The bride made such a dramatic entrance down the sweeping staircase to see her groom for the first time. A second story porch, […]
It seems to me that the dead of winter is a good time change up the blog a bit and post some of the fun family and baby portrait portraits I had in the late fall and early winter of last year. And a little hint for the mini baby boom going on amongst my brides from […]
Carnegie Institution for Science is one of the most instantly recognizable DC places to get married. It also happens to be one of my favorite places to shoot. From our very first meeting, Heather and Eli talked about having wedding that was different and memorable. They succeeded on both counts. They were married by all […]
Anne + Aly’s Cosmos Club wedding in late September was done with a pretty quick turnaround. They pulled together a beautiful wedding in a short time and it didn’t hurt that they chose such a classic Washington venue. The gilded gold ballroom is instantly recognizable and the grounds of the club, while not extensive, were just […]
I am closing out my 2015 blog posts with J+S’s elegant St. Regis wedding in Washington, DC. It was a summer Saturday that like many this year was unseasonably cool which made the outdoor ceremony and photos in Lafayette Square literally a breeze. I loved the sophisticated palette for the day and the tall arrangements of […]
J+E’s Park Hyatt wedding was my second time at the hotel this summer. Good thing I love to shoot there! J+E started their day together alone in their suite getting ready. It made for some nice calm moments and they put on their matching poodle bowties. They did have one other companion in the suite–their adorable poodle […]
