Just got the heads up that Angie Goff of Oh My Goff used one of my photos from the U Street Snow Wars, documented on me little Leica D-Lux4 camera, on her Channel 9 news report. Thanks to my good friend Lisa B @ DCEventJunkie for the link and thank you Angie for the shot-out!
A new decade is just around the corner, and I can’t wait! The world of wedding photography is charging into the future, and the growing popularity of bold, edgy, stylish photo shoots has me filled with anticipation for the weddings and engagements I will be a part of in the coming year.
As you can see from this ad, one of several I will be running in DC Modern Luxury magazine this year, the word I’d use to sum up my vision for 2010 is “excitement.” A wedding is a celebration of the future, an opportunity to pause and reflect just before a couple embarks on a new journey together. What could be more thrilling?
There are a lot of concepts tied up in the word “excitement” – an anticipation of things to come; a commitment to experiencing the future fully and passionately; and that edge of uncertainty and the surprises to come. And that’s what I want to reflect in my photography for the coming year. I have a lot of big ideas for 2010, and they all mirror that fearlessness and enthusiasm that I see in every couple whose wedding or engagement I shoot: use of color and lighting that will take people by surprise; brides and grooms captured at their most honest – and most beautiful. For me, wedding photography is very closely related to fashion photography, and the brides I shoot this year will look like nothing less than fashion models in my photos.
I’m eager to get started making these visions a reality in the coming year, and I look forward to sharing them with you in this blog!
Gotta love living in Washington, DC! My wife and I ventured out into the snowy streets today and witnessed the coolest snowball fight ever at the corner of 14th and U Streets! Bundled Washingtonians hurled giant snowballs at each other as the traffic lights turned from yellow to red. The snowball fight might must have gone on for a few hours, and was a blast to watch – it was all in good fun (ABC National News even included footage during their 6:30 newscast)…until the police arrived! None the less, I captured a short HD video and some photos of the snow flight on my Leica camera. Enjoy!
