Love this classic wedding photograph we captured here in Virginia. "They" say, location is everything, and it is so much of everything, but it's a piece of the larger picture... I believe good photography is a successful recipe combining technical, interpersonal and emotional skill. Shot anticipation, preparation, and a "oneness with the camera" - understanding its powerful and diverse abilities

Virginia Spring Engagement Session

2010-01-26T21:37:00.002-05:00

Wanted to share this photo of Bob and Tonya from their beautiful Engagement Session, in preparation for their wedding. I love this photograph on a number of levels. Their expressions are genuine, that alone is beautiful... sheer human expression, simple, real. Next there's the symmetry of the photograph. Centered, balanced, but not rigid... that is where the natural framing of the environment

Northern Virginia Wedding, Taylor and Tommy

2009-12-19T12:41:00.017-05:00

A very beautiful ceremony at St Francis in Quantico, VA. The wedding reception at Old Hickory Golf Club offered beautiful scenery, especially with the fall in full color. Old Hickory is a great wedding location, classic looking, very nice cocktail area, 1920's looking woodwork throughout. The food was delicious, they even had some of the gourmet cookies I used to get at my grandparents on

Richard and Krista Wedding

2009-09-27T09:43:00.007-04:00

I find myself short of words.. "awesome, beautiful, amazing". It almost sounds cliché. I think it's because words just don't do it justice. A wedding is a miracle, one of the great exclamation points of life. Births, anniversaries, sacred holidays. Rituals, with deep meaning, mysterious... defined as "holy"... a household word to some, a traditional term to meaning... A wedding, brings me back to
