Featured in Brides Washington

We are so very excited to see one of our favorite images featured on page 244 of  Brides Washington Brides Washington Magazine.  This great shot is from Ashley and Ludwig’s wedding at the Cloisters last year.

  Brides Washington
Here’s our quote: “I frequently shoot couples from below, trying to capture the venue in the background, and this was a particularly gorgeous site.  The wedding was held at the Cloisters in Lutherville, Maryland, which has a windmill on the grounds, I love the symmetry and the way the couple is positioned.  The lighting is also nice–we shot this right before dusk, so there’s a bit of golden glow.”  

You also might remember their recent maternity session.  Still waiting to hear the exciting news any day! 

Lauren + Brian : Old Town Alexandria Engagement Session

Lauren and Brian had their engagement Session in Old Town Alexandria the other night. We even stopped in Hotel Monaco for a couple of images in their amazing hotel. Who doesn’t love the way they decorate!  The hotel is meaningful to this couple and why we made sure it was on our route for their session.  Below are some of the highlights from the session. See you guys soon (real soon)!

My studio mate Sarah hung out with me the other night during one of my sessions and took this of me. Figured I would share, Sarah is awesome!

And my canvas for above the mantel in the new studio has arrived. It’s huge! Crappy iPhone picture but still wanted to share. The new studio has been such an amazing process. It’s been very hard to pick out images to display. It’s exciting to say the least to see your work displayed so big.

Susanna + Michael : Glen Echo Park engagement session

Susanna and Michael are actually married but they didn’t get a chance to schedule their engagement session before their April wedding at Collingwood Museum and Top of the Town. What better location to have an engagement session then Glen Echo Park. Awesome backdrop for this extremely fun couple. They had me in stitches the whole time and I will admit their outfits went with everything in the park. They even let me practice a shot I had been wanting for sometime now. Thanks guys you know I love you both dearly and it was great to see you both again!
