Holy Trinity Catholic Church

Last year, I photographed two weddings at the beautiful Holy Trinity Catholic Church building in Gainesville, VA. Father Peffley is frequently on the guest list at many Filipino parties and services at my old parish in Woodbridge. So, I offered to take pictures of their new building. Soon after, I am in the building scouting photography angles. On this occasion, he allowed me take amazingly detailed photographs of the empty sanctuary, fixtures, and stained-glass windows.

Some of these have been made into postcards that are available in their gift shop. For this project, I collaborated with a local print shot to produce the cards. Please support this parish by purchasing some!

For those looking to get married, they have detailed information on their comprehensive website. For photographers covering weddings, more details from the venue is always preferable. Although things will be busy on a wedding day, review the rules beforehand!

The stained-glass windows were created at the Dixon Studio in Staunton, VA especially for Holy Trinity. On viewing, these windows create a modern take on ancient themes of art and craft. The windows transmit beautiful colors into the building. Dixon will install the last of the windows soon. When they completed, I hope to complete the photographs of all the windows soon!

Overall, it is a beautiful place to get married. Additionally, there are many places nearby for bridal portraits, and fun shots with your entire bridal party. Thanks again to Fr. Peffley for giving me the opportunity!

2010 Clover Star Classic

Thanks to University of Pennsylvania Latin & Ballroom Dance for inviting me to photograph their upcoming event, the Clover Star Classic! We went to this event last year and had a blast! The collegiate competition is amazingly enthusiastic and athletic.

Combined with their creative choreography, the ballroom costumes really fly by as the shutter tries to keep up! This will be TimeLine Media’s first ballroom dance event of the year, and I’m excited about photographing more. Overall, I have a goal of making unique and memorable images for dancers this year.

Did you attend the event last year? It was our first time going up there, and I want to receive some feedback on the photos. Especially since that was our collegiate ballroom event, we did not know what to expect. Of course we were blown away by the professionalism and focus that the dancers put into their art. Moreoever, we know they are studying dancing while doing a full course load of classes! For this reason, we are looking forward to see what the dancers have been working on since last year.

I’ll post some of my favorites both on this blog, and on the newly created Fan page for TimeLine media which can be found at this Facebook link.
