Virginia
Through my freelance photography career I can say I’ve been blessed with a few things. For the most part I’ve had wonderful clients who are friendly and relaxed and great to be around. I’ve also had the great pleasure of doing photography in some truly beautiful and incredible venues/locations. Brandon and Jim’s wedding falls into […]
Part of my process of working with couples as we get ready for a wedding is to meet with them about two weeks before the big day to go over schedule and create a timeline. My go-to spots for these meetings are usually pretty generic with Starbucks and Panera being the most common. When it […]
Last one of 2016 folks, and we definitely went out with a bang! Kiri and Martin, a lovely couple who met while working at the same school, had a winter wedding at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. While this was the first time I’ve ever shot a wedding at this venue, I’ve been a guest there before and it […]
This wedding had a little bit of everything. For starters we had Lara and Doug, a wonderful, laid back couple who had been together for many years. Then there was the family and friends, who were energetic and fun loving and very comfortable with each other. We had some Nintendo figurines, speeches with props, purple […]
This was the definition of a “local wedding” for me! When you live in Northern Virginia long enough you start to realize something, most of the people you run into are not from Northern Virginia. Being born and raised here it gives you a slightly different perspective on things. You remember how it was before […]
I got more Virginia Tech connections for you in this wedding! As I mentioned in my post for Jeri and Jeff’s wedding, I was apart of the Marching Virginian’s during my time at Virginia Tech. The band has over 330 members, so there are many people you don’t get to meet during your time there. […]
During my years at Virginia Tech, I played trumpet in the Marching Virginians. I remember my sophomore year walking down one day to the practice field. I got there somewhat early, so a lot of people were milling around or sitting on the sideline. As I was arriving, I noticed a girl that I had […]
In case you missed it, part 1 is here. I think it’s only fitting that the biggest wedding I’ve ever done deserves the largest preview post I’ve ever assembled! There are a ton of images in this post, and you want to see them more than you want to read my ramblings, but let me […]
You know it’s a good wedding if it gets two posts from me! Maitreyi and Will approached me about photographing their “Indian Fusion” wedding at Lansdowne Resort back in March. While I had photographed an Indian wedding ceremony before, I had never photographed a full-fledged Indian wedding. Based on the stories I’d heard from other […]
I’ve always wanted to use a tilt-shift lens. It’s one of those video/photography tools that has always intrigued me (like a drone…which I also really want to play with). The issue I’ve always had when it comes to tilt-shift lenses is I have no actual use for one. This isn’t a matter of using a wedding […]
