Halcyon House Wedding, Kim + Ben

2010-09-03

This wedding was a lot of fun. It included a chance encounter with an ice cream truck, Kim’s mom Francoise walking her down the aisle, Ben’s collection of bonsai trees as as centerpieces and some wonderful moments. Anne Kelley of Atrendy Wedding did a great job coordinating.

Gedney Farm Wedding, Mary + Brad

2010-08-30

Mary and Brad were married at Gedney Farm in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. They could not have had better weather for the outdoor ceremony. Here is a sneak peek, I will be adding more images shortly.

Tabard Inn Wedding, Lucia + Michael

2010-08-22

Lucia and Michael were married in a small courtyard at the eclectic and charming Tabard Inn in the company of about 50 of their family and closest friends. After the ceremony I snuck the couple away to Meridian Hill Park. It was the perfect time for me to be able to capture some natural, relaxed portraits and for them to have some time alone together.

Raspberry Plain Wedding, Emily + Darren

Whitehall Manor Wedding, Amanda + Nick

2010-07-30

Amanda and Nick had a lovely wedding at Whitehall Manor near Leesburg, VA. We all took a deep breath of relief when the threatening rain clouds finally parted and the sun came out just before the ceremony. They are a really fun couple and have great taste in music which was reflected in their playlist at the reception - not your typical stuff. The guys in the last picture were singing along with “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode. I couldn’t help but to jump around with them as I took pictures. Other songs included the Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana and Led Zeppelin. I have to give a shout out to Amanda who is a professional photographer in New York City for so easily letting go and trusting me to capture the day - it was a lot of fun and I’m glad I was able to be there.

Newseum Wedding, Sarah + Ian

2010-06-22

Sarah and Ian are one of the sweetest couples that I have had the pleasure of getting to know and photograph. We had rain in the forecast on the wedding day but it didn’t seem to bother them a bit. And when I snuck them out on to the roof deck on the seventh floor of the Newseum as the sun was setting and it began sprinkling, once again they just went with it. Their ceremony at Universalist National Memorial Church on 16th St was absolutely beautiful. Which was followed by a high-energy reception at the Newseum featuring the highly sought after Hudson Project band from New York.

Everything went so smoothly and every detail was perfect thanks to Aimee Dominick and her team from A Dominick Events and the beautiful flower arrangements and bouquets were crafted by Sidra Forman.

Halcyon House Wedding, Kristen + Larry

2010-05-01

Kristen and Larry had a lovely intimate wedding with sixty of their closest friends and family at the Halcyon House. The indoor ceremony was followed by an extended cocktail hour in the garden and then a seated dinner in the house. After the ceremony we took a stroll around Georgetown which gave Kristen and Larry a nice chance to relax and get some alone time.

Washingtonian Bride and Groom Unveiled

2010-01-24

Couture bridal designer Amsale Aberra shared her Kenneth Pool line with a captivated Washington, DC audience at the second annual Washingtonian Bride and Groom Unveiled bridal show at the Mandarin Oriental. Her collection is said to celebrate the bride who commands the spotlight, and this line, according to her web site, “allows her to express a more elaborate side of her personality.”

The atmosphere backstage was fevered but totally under control. I had an opportunity to go where ever I wanted to go and photograph freely. If only every assignment allowed this much freedom. Things moved at a very fast pace but there were some beautiful moments sprinkled in there.

I have to mention that Ted Gibson, who I had a chance to talk with the night before the show, is a very sweet and genuinely nice man. In the first image he is back stage listing to his introduction before the start of the fashion show.
