A few times a year, I travel out of town to photograph destination weddings. When I first met Lauren and Aaron, I was excited to pick up shop and head to PIttsburgh, somewhere I’ve never visited, for their special day. I hit the road with my team –Dave Phillipich and Dawn Deeks — and even made a movie on the road. The next morning we had an early start. First stop on the agenda was Lauren’s family friends’ gorgeous home, where we met up with “Lauren’s Eleven” (her bridesmaids) and took some getting ready shots. Then we headed all around the city aboard a trolley bus with the wedding party. We got back just in time for the cocktail hour under The Pennsylvanian’s rotunda, which was truly breathtaking. The reception was a blast – catering by Rania was delicious, and the band, Cityscape, was rockin’. I had a great time exploring the city with Lauren and Aaron, and thanks to their parents and friends for making us Washingtonians feel at home.
When I met with Mark and Robert back in March to discuss photographing their upcoming nuptials, I was really excited. With same-sex marriage finally legalized in DC, I was eager to be a part of the celebration. So this past Saturday, I joined Mark and Robert, along with family and friends, at DC’s Long View Gallery, where the couple walked town the aisle with dog Cooper, and tied the knot. Wedding planner Alex Pare of “Cherry Blossom Weddings & Events” helped make the wedding and reception shine (check out the decadent cake and desserts!) and DJ Jaime Mizzel Easson kept the beats going all night. Special thanks to John Frank of John Frank Photography for second shooting the wedding with me. Congrats to Mark and Robert!!
I met Kaitlyn and Josh through a mutual friend, and I had a blast photographing their wedding on Friday. From the first time I met them at my studio, we totally clicked and I knew that their wedding day was going to be so much fun. With their 14 person wedding party in tow, we stormed the city for a pre-ceremony photo shoot before heading to the ceremony at Foundry United Methodist Church. Then we headed to Sequoia for a beautiful reception, where DJ Michael Stiltz spun some jams all night.
Special thanks to my awesome team, photographers Dave Philipich, Emily Clack and Wilson Roa!
