Lana and Lon (otherwise cutely known as, Lan 1 and Lon 2) met at a 10K race at the Georgetown waterfront. Avid runners, they log more miles running in one day than I have over a lifetime! They even named their reception dining room tables for each of the marathons they’ve run together. I’d love...
I started the day photographing portraits of Marli and JA around DC landmarks including the Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, and at Lafayette Park across from the White House. While we were at Senate Park some tourists approached JA (yes, surprisingly not me!) to take their picture. Marli noted how fitting it was because strangers always ask...
Valerie and Michael were introduced by their match making mothers who attend the same church — The Greek Orthodox Church St George, which was also where the couple was married this fall. I was happy to be photographing Valerie and Michael’s wedding on a gorgeous day. Once again, I got really lucky and was treated...
There was no other place to be but on the Potomac River for Gwen and Pete’s wedding. They held an intimate wedding amongst their closest friends and family on a Capitol Yacht Charter boat. The sun was shining, there was a cool breeze, and absolutely no humidity. It was an unusually and distinctly pleasant August...
Heather and Mike first met five years ago at The Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar in Dewey Beach, Delaware. According to them, “Mike had driven down from New York City and Heather from Arlington, VA, to celebrate the first official beach weekend of summer. On Saturday night we both went to The Lighthouse with our friends...
Briana and Billy met while attending the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon University – the same program where I received my Masters of Public Policy, but that’s another story for another day. She was enrolled in the Masters of Arts Management program and he in the Masters...
Suzanne and Rob were married at Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown on a scorching hot June day. But now that I think about it, which day hasn’t been scorching hot since then? It’s been an accurate description of most Saturdays this summer. They braved the heat as we toured Washington DC for portraits, including stops...
Mae and Oren met at a concert in Miami, Florida. There were multiple bands playing that night and Mae didn’t realize she was speaking to the lead singer of the band she was criticizing until she watched him walk on stage shortly after their meeting. Obviously, they were able to put that conversation behind them....
Kim met Bryan when she and a friend crashed a mixer hosted by his fraternity almost seven years ago. She says she was the more outgoing of the two at the time and made their meeting happen. They now enjoy spending time outdoors –particularly hiking, which made getting married at Woodend Sanctuary a good fit...
Rain or shine Sara and Dustin are all smiles! The weather was beautiful that afternoon, but the rain made an appearance and then settled in for the day precisely when we were scheduled to take portraits outside. But never fear! I’m always prepared for rain. I keep a big umbrella in my bag and am...
