When I first met Erin and Eric, Erin came with a laptop, overflowing with beautiful vintage ideas for her wedding next May. I could tell she was going to be a fun bride and I loved every idea she shared with me. Poor Eric! We sat there for a good hour discussing decorating ideas, and colors schemes, and our favorite wedding blogs. You know you have a keeper when they just sit there, nod their heads, and smile like "it's all good." Given that Erin had so many ideas and needed someone to help …
Engagements
Zach & Jenn are getting hitched: Maryland Wedding Photographer, D.C. Modern Wedding Photography
These two!! I love them. They are so much fun to hang out with. They had so many great stories and even though I can't share all of them, I will share a few of them. They first met on the lawn of the National Mall for an outdoor movie, "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds." Jenn was sitting on a blanket and Zach needed a place to sit, so hey, why not sit next to the pretty brunette on the blanket ;) As the evening developed they realized they really liked spending time together and decided they …
Tricia + Rees Engaged: Northern Virginia Engagements, D.C. Wedding Photographer
This couple!! What can I say? They are so in love. It was so fun to watch these two interact and just be together.

The evening was perfect in every way and even though it was calling for a chance of rain, we had the most beautiful golden sunlight that just warmed up the photos. Tricia and Rees are getting married this October and …
Rachel + Tripp before they say “I do”: D.C. Wedding Photographer, Virginia Wedding Photographer
These two. Aww these two!! Rachel, like most of my brides, came as a referral from a fabulous hair and makeup team I had the opportunity to work with on a wedding last year. I love how word of mouth just travels! Anyway, she called and was wondering if I could shoot her wedding in October and unfortunately, I was already booked for her date :( I really wish I could duplicate myself like Hugh Jackman in the Prestige. I mean how cool would that be if I could shoot every wedding that I …
T+A Save the Date: D.C. Engagement Photographer, Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer
When Tram first called me to talk about her wedding, she started to explain to me that she would be having a traditional Vietnamese ceremony. I was very intrigued and it brought back fond memories of my own experience with the Vietnamese culture. Growing up I had a piano teacher, also named Tram, and her family had come over to the U.S. not long after the Vietnam war. Her entire family was so happy to have me in their home. They would always cook traditional cuisine and share it with me. …
