Recently I was accepted into the group www.ispwp.com (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers). This organization has a selective application process and I was happy to get in. I entered my first contest with them shortly after joining and the results are in! I’m number five overall in this international competition. I received 3 first place placements – so exciting!

Dana + Jeff 10/18/2008

Dana & Jeff were married at the National Conference Center in Leesburg, VA. I came to know them through my good friend’s Lori and Eric back from the Texas days. Eric is Dana’s sister. So, I knew I’d love this group – and I did. For me, the most memorable part of the evening was the off-the-hook musical talent. Jeff plays the bass guitar and as Lori told me yesterday Dana is a major music fan. (Me, too!) A chill affair, laid back couple, friends in attendance – and a great second photographer, Mark – all made for a marvelous evening. Congrats to Dana & Jeff!

All In The Family

So I was out in McLean, VA photographing this family a few days ago - grandparents, siblings, grandchildren – we packed a lot in from a group portrait down to a newborn session and everything in between. Another beautiful, fall session!

Georgetown Afternoon

I spent the most lovely afternoon in Georgetown a few days ago with this gorgeous family. The weather was perfect and Georgetown perfectly picturesque. It was a relaxed, fall session with a super nice, laid back family. Good times!

Erika & Jonathan were married this Saturday at Hollin Hall in Alexandria, VA. The most memorable aspect of this wedding, for me, was the incredible warmth radiating not just from this stunning, sweet couple, but also that of everyone in attendance – the bridal party, the guests, everyone! The weather was perfect, the garden ceremony enchanting and the evening filled with perfect music. Congratulations to the most lovely couple ever!
