Priscilla & Greg's gorgeous 16x12 fine-art book

So, I know I keep promising to post more finished albums to the blog, but I've obviously fallen short in this goal.  New year, new goal.  Maybe I'll be better this time.  I have so many beautiful books to share, only some of which I've actually managed to grab photos of before they are picked up at the studio.  Luckily, I did get some images of Priscilla & Greg's book before it went off to it's new home.  This baby is HUGE!  It's definitely one of the largest books we've ever done, spanning almost three feet wide when opened!  I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Sarah & Nick's blizzard wedding on Brides.com

I was so excited when the editor of Brides contacted me recently about featuring Sarah & Nick's winter wedding at St. Matthews and the Carnegie Institute.  What do you get when you throw 20" of snow into a very DC wedding?  One of the most memorable days of the year!  You can check out the full feature here: Sarah & Nick on Brides.com.

Their full blog post from last winter is here.  Looking back through their images kinda makes me wish for a *little* snow...

So much more to come!

With the the busiest time of year in full swing, I have been letting the blog fall a bit behind in order to keep up with all the editing, album design, and orders flooding in this time of year. But don't feel cheated! There are some too-good-to-be-true weddings coming up just as soon as possible:

Kim & Mike's elegant day at Dahlgren Chapel and the Hotel Monaco in Alexandria.

Alex & David's beautiful Fall wedding at Algonkian Park (with potraits at the Manassas Battlefield!)

Kelly & Adam's intimate ceremony right on the water in Old Town Alexandria.

And finally, Jessica & Steve's colorful waterfront celebration in Fell's Point, Baltimore.

This one was classic beauty all the way through...stay tuned for more!

Jessica & Steve - Engaged!

For Jessica and Steve's engagement session a few weeks ago, we met up in Georgetown. As many times as I photograph in Georgetown, I'm always determined to find new spots that I've never used before. So, we set out in a new direction to see what we could find. And, as usual, Georgetown never disappoints. Colorful walls, beautiful light, and more fun alleyways than I can count. And Jessica and Steve sure didn't disappoint either. I'm pretty sure these two must have practiced the "almost kiss" ahead of time, because they are masters! Thank you both for such a fun evening! These two are getting married in Fells Point this October and I can't wait to be there!

With Jessica's great red hair, I found that I didn't do nearly as many black & white photos as usual!

Steve was having fun...I didn't have to say anything and he was twirling and laughing away the moment we got in front of this great red wall!

The sun slipped away a little too quickly on us, so I improvised and used this street light. I love how it turned out!
