Megan and Ciara’s holiday portraits in Old Town Alexandria

Megan and Ciara are amazing parents. They love their kids so much, it’s incredible. I’ve loved working with them since their wedding in 2007, and I’ve been fortunate enough to work with them each year since! This year’s holiday portraits were a treat – we worked in my favorite garden in Old Town Alexandria VA!

Ira and Patricia – same-sex engagement in Old Town Alexandria

Ira and Patricia found out about me through So You’re EnGAYged’s PRIDE booth! We had a great time photographing their engagement session in Old Town, where the leaves just turned a gorgeous orange and the air was still warm enough that we could run around without jackets :)

MJ and Corey – Mandarin Oriental Wedding Photography

MJ and Corey threw an incredibly chic and fun wedding at the Mandarin Oriental. It was clear that the guests had as much fun as MJ and Corey did; it made Joanie’s and my work easier! This was also fun for another reason: it was the mosts challenging ceremony I’d ever photographed. The 5 o’clock sun was just above the heads of the bridal party on the platform, meaning I had to crouch on the ground to get the officiant’s head to block the rays from streaming directly into my lens. Of course, I wanted to do artistic work with it too, because when do you ever get powerful light like that? :) I love the outcome. MJ and Corey, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding!

Ebie and Zach’s engagement portraits in Old Town Alexandria

I’ve begun to feel old now that I need more than one hand to count the years I’ve known the people I’m photographing. I met Ebie my freshman year of college at AU; we lived either across the hall or a few floors away from each other all four years that we went to school.
