Read MoreJennifer and Justin's Downtown Winter Wedding
Winter weddings are something aren’t they? You’ve got to find that balance between looking good and not freezing till you turn blue. Where I used to live and work the winters were brutal. Thankfully here in Williamsburg it seems like we are getting through the worst of it by the time February ends. This beautiful winter wedding took place downtown and combined strikingly classic features with care and love enough to make everyone in attendance feel warm. Even the smiles on Jennifer and Justin’s faces are enough to warm me today.
Read MoreSpring Engagement Session
It’s chilly here. I’m dreaming of warm breezes by the Chesapeake Bay and photographing engagement sessions without thick coats and wool socks. I remember photographing Aveen’s graduation from graduate school before her and Steven were even dating. There was one image from that party where I knew he had a thing for her. Years later, here we are, they are engaged and (once COVID lets up) I’ll be photographing their wedding.
Read MoreParisian Bridal Shower
This bride’s parents really pulled out all of the stops for her Parisian themed bridal shower. It was the perfect blend of classy, feminine, sweet, and fun to leave all those in attendance with big smiles and happy memories. All of the decorations and treats were so expertly done that it was hard to believe this was all for the guests to enjoy. Bridal showers are a wonderful time to express who you are and to have a bit of over the top fun.
Cheers
Read MoreGolf Country Club Summer Wedding
The big thing in this region is Country Club Weddings. Thankfully I have a long history of photographing weddings at Country Clubs. My first real “big” wedding was actually at a Country Club. There is a certain charm that the historic Country Clubs bring to a wedding day, you can really feel the history there.

Megan and Noah's Winter Wedding
You may remember these two from an earlier blog post with their snuggly (it can be an adjective) engagement photographs. They got married last winter, got it in right before COVID made life challenging. Well their wedding photographs turned out as intimate as their engagement did. I always enjoy when I get to travel to people’s homes to photograph them getting ready for their wedding day. It just adds to the story. I also love when couples decide to do a first look; it really makes the whole day go easier. It was really great getting to photograph their couples portraits by the bay; everything just clicked.
Please enjoy Megan and Noah’s winter wedding.
cheers
Danielle and Jesse's Summer DC Proposal
I don’t get to photograph much in DC, but it’s always great when I do. So, when an old college friend of mine reached out and said his buddy needed a photographer for a proposal at the National Harbor, I was thrilled. I can’t say I’ve met many folks who were as gung-ho to propose as Jesse was. His enthusiasm was infectious. The love these two share can really be seen.
cheers
Megan and Noah's Fall Engagement
I really enjoy photographing engagements in the Fall. The tonality of the world, the colors, the smells (not that you can enjoy those in photographs), it just all lends itself to great engagement photographs. This day was no different when I met up with Megan and Noah for their engagement photographs. It was a chilly day last November, but these two managed to brush it off like it was a perfect 65 degree day.
Read MoreA Week in Brazil
So I’m definitely not in Brazil right now and it definitely wasn’t recently. I managed to get in and out of Brazil in the first few weeks of January before everything turned sour with COVID-19. Those of you following the blog may have seen my brief post about being in an MBA program. It was through that MBA program that I had the opportunity to travel to Brazil.
