Engagement: Chuck & Kelly

Chuck and Kelly asked me to photograph their wedding this coming Saturday in Virginia. During this time of the year, the DC area is normally blessed with Cherry Blossoms and their accompanying allergies. Hopefully by Saturday, we have a good bloom of blossoms to photograph along with some nice weather(crossing fingers that we are DONE with snow!).

Here are a few photos from our engagement session in Georgetown...

Family: Curtis & Kristy

I was fortunate enough to have photographed Curtis and Kristy's wedding a few years ago. We've officially come full circle with the arrival of their son, Channing. He's officially been tagged with the nickname, "Magic." Welcome to the world, Channing! I can't wait to see his growth over the next few months. Congratulations again guys!

Family: Dejan & Caroline

Dejan and Caroline welcomed Milo into the world 6 months ago. New parents always exhibit the happiness and excitement that kids bring, especially at this young age. Forget the toys that we tried to leverage to get Milo to smile.  The sounds of Haitian and German tunes were what really brought smiles to Milo's face.  I'm happy I was there to capture some of those moments from this happy baby. Congratulations Dejan & Caroline!

Family: Todd & Xochi

It's always a fun time when I see the Hartley family. They have carried on a tradition of taking photographs of each of their children when they reach two years old. Zack gave me the scoop on his favorite ninjas, while Niya whipped off the longest list of her favorite foods. Nothing, however, beats the sound of gunshots from nearby deer hunters, which startled me with every shutter click. The drive to Round Hill is always worth it, as I can't get these views in my own backyard. The beautiful backgrounds worked so well this fun-loving family. Hopefully #4 comes around sometime so I can come back again!

Wedding: Lawrence & Megan

From start to finish, Megan and Lawrence made my day easy.  I was surprised when they told me they wanted to do first look shots, which was completely unexpected.  Neither of us quite knew what weather we would get, but Mother Nature held up just enough for us to snap a few photographs before it became unbearable.  The natural reactions I saw from them made me a firm believer in first look shots, as well as umbrellas.  From the moment the dance floor opened, it never became empty.  From Sinatra to Gangnam Style, Megan and Lawrence held it down.

Congratulations guys!  You started your wedding the same way you ended... classy.
