Intimate Tudor Place Wedding | Georgetown Wedding Photographer
Trent & Paul met 25 years prior to their wedding day at a conference in Ohio. For their wedding they wanted an outdoor setting and choose the Tudor Place in Georgetown because of its beautiful colorful outdoor gardens. They also loved the statues of the Whippets in the Tudor Place's Bowling Green Gardens that reminded them of their Italian Greyhounds. The name of the gardens they had their ceremony in is "Bowling Green" which is the name of the college one of the grooms went to. For their intimate ceremony Trent and Paul walked down the isle with a classical guitarist playing in the background. They said “I Do” in front of about 35 of their closest friends and family.
The Tudor Place is a photographers dream! This venue sits on 6 acres of land in Georgetown just down the street from Dumbarton Oaks Gardens. In addition to wedding Tudor Place is also open to the public for tours of the house and the garden areas. As a photographer I was in love with all the beautiful surrounding that I took advantage of for these beautiful portraits!

Fiola Mare Proposal | Georgetown Proposal | Washington DC Surprise Proposal Photographer
Sharing my favorite images from a surprise proposal at Fiola Mare in Georgetown! James took his girlfriend out to eat on a lovely date at Fiola Mare on The Georgetown Waterfront the night he planned to propose. Unknown to his girlfriend, their closest friends were hanging out in the restaurant's bar area hidden away from their view. After dinner they had champagne and dessert when James popped the question in the middle of the restaurant while their friends peeked around the bar. Congratulations to this newly engaged couple and happy wedding planning!

I always love to meet my couples for an engagement session prior to their wedding, it gives me the chance to get to know them and get them used to how I work as I will be with them all day on their big day! Flashback to their DC engagement session HERE!
Chris and Lisa got ready at The Commonwealth Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia where they would have their ceremony in front of about 80 of their closest friends and family. The ceremony started off with a special dance after Lisa walked down the isle with her father. Following with a few readings and speeches along with musical performances from family members. Their reception was held at Indigo Landing Restaurant in Alexandria, Virginia right on The Potomac River. The evening consisted of buffet dinner, speeches from friends and family as well as a special wine ceremony to honor those who mean the most to the couple. Guest danced the night away with music by DJ Dario. At the end of the evening I was able to sneak Chris and Lisa out of the reception for night portraits! So glad we got those cool shots!

Supreme Court Landmark Decision | All States Must Allow Same-Sex Marriage |
Today the Supreme Court of The United States ruled in a landmark desicion that ALL states must allow same-sex marriage in the case of Obergefell Vs. Hodges.
"The Fourteenth Amendment requires a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State."
Earlier this morning I was in Northwest DC completing a job for one of my corporate clients when I received the news via post after post on social media. I had a hour of spare time and decided to venture over and experience the excitement in this historical moment. As I drove by I could see crowds of people walking over. I parked as soon as I could and joined them.
Upon my arrival I was immersed in the crowd of many supporters, many members of the media and overwhelming emotion. I spotted a couple that had just met up with each other near the courthouse. They were in tears of joy, smiling ear to ear in excitement that they could now marry legally in their home state of Ohio. Many other stories like this were happening all around me.
I am so honored to have witnessed this historical moment and am so excited with what has to come. There is still so much work to be done within the LGBT community for equal rights. My job is the best there is to be capturing beautiful couples in love!
Love Wins.

Some Instagram's from the day:
I cannot wait to attend Wedding Wire World next year as well!
How I Photograph The Bride Getting Ready | Washington DC Wedding Photographer
I love arriving to capture the start of a bride's day! When I first arrive I like to introduce myself to anyone around: family, friends, wedding party! I always suggest that I arrive 30 minutes before the makeup artist will be done with makeup: this gives me time to start capturing details!
I will ask to have anything that the bride will be wearing for her day such as the dress, shoes, jewelry, flowers and anything else! My goal is capture images of all these items!
I am always looking for interesting ways to lay out the shoes. Typically I will use the beautiful natural light coming in through the window like I have in these shots.
The Dress: many time the dress will come on an ugly plastic hanger so I will use a wooden hanger if the bride does not have a special hanger.
Getting combinations of the shoes and jewelry together or dress and shoes together always adds interest and variety to the images.
Just as the makeup artist is putting on the final touches is a great time to capture the shots of the bride when she is getting her makeup put on. I want to photograph my couples at their best so I don't want to start photographing the bride until the makeup is mostly done.
After the bride has gotten into her dress I make use of additional time to capture some stunning portraits before we head to the next part of the day! I coach my clients along the way to create the images I am looking for.
