Friday Frolics – Colorful Wedding Heels

I have noticed a trend at the last few consecutive weddings I’ve photographed. All the brides have been wearing colorful wedding heels. After seeing so many in a row, I thought they deserved their own Friday Frolics post. I love seeing these flashy heels popping out from under wedding gowns! Among the brides I’ve photographed,...

Friday Frolics – Baked & Wired Cupcakes

Baked and Wired’s cupcakes are not for casual consumption. These mighty cupcakes, carefully wrapped in parchment paper, are best devoured with a fork and knife. When I visited the shop a couple of weeks ago I tried: Karen’s Birthday – moist chocolate cake with a vanilla buttercream frosting; Razmanian Devil – lemon cake and a...

Friday Frolics – Food!

Is there a better topic than food for Friday Frolics? Actually, yes –cupcakes, but food ranks pretty high with me in general so it’s fun and thus worthy of a Friday Frolics post. These images were taken at Farmers and Fishers in Georgetown for the Spring issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings. Several of the dishes featured...

Friday Frolics – Happy Anniversary!

Tomorrow — Saturday, May 1, marks the three-year anniversary of owning what is now The Observatory. It’s really hard to believe it’s been that long. When I purchased the company, it was known as Jana Curcio Photography. I’ve made a few other changes in addition to the name, but we continue to be a team...

Friday Frolics – New DC Cupcakery!

There’s a new cupcakery on the scene. The setting is serene and I love the frosty, snowflake theme! Frosting opened its doors this week and, of course, I had to be there first thing Wednesday to sample some of their offerings. I tried three of their cupcakes: My Strawberry Girl (strawberry/chocolate), Choc-a-lot (chocolate/chocolate), and Snowflake...

Friday Frolics – Spring Fever

It’s a gorgeous spring day in Washington DC today. The kind of day that should be spent poolside with a fruity drink in hand. However, in lieu of playing hooky –which I’m very tempted to do, I’ve reached back into the vault for some images I took at my first destination wedding in Islamorada, Florida...

Friday Frolics – Drinks! Drinks! Drinks!

What do I think about when I think of Friday? A nice cool –in both senses of the word, mixed drink or cocktail. So I thought it was appropriate to include some eye-candy images from a recent photo shoot I did for an article in the Spring 2010 issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings. Katie Martin, Editor...

Friday Frolics: Crazy Dance Moves

Thought I’d shake things up with some shots of crazy dance moves! I love the challenge of freezing dance floor moves. These particular images are from Joanne and Phil’s wedding last June at the Cosmos Club in Washington DC. They were quite the dancers, as were their guests and flower girls. They were same couple...

Friday Frolics – Flower Girl of the Year 2009

In today’s Friday Frolics I wanted to name the Flower Girl of the Year for 2009. Our winner was photographed at a June wedding at the Cosmos Club. I’ve never seen a flower girl get so much mileage out of her petals! She spread them about, rolled around in them, had a tasting, and danced...
