Soaring Tysons Spaces

Vita Tower

Just driving through the area, it’s easy to see the soaring Tysons spaces going up into the northern Virginia sky. The team from Macerich asked if I could make some photos of the Vita Tower. This is a new luxury apartment tower opening soon next to Tysons Corner Center. It is the closest to 123, and the most visible to those passing through the area.

For these photos, I went up to the 30th floor of the Vita. Undoubtedly it is the tallest floor above Tysons right now with a view into downtown Washington, DC. On this floor are a lot of recreation areas for residents to use. There are TVs, tables, lounging chairs, and a pool. When the weather is not good, there are interior space available. There is a kitchen, bar, and lounge with TVs and views over the area. The residences in this building must be high end given that this common area had high end design all around. This will be a definite selling point for this property!

Across the Tysons Corner Center from the Vita Tower is the Towers Crescent building. It was a soaring space in Tysons since the 1980s. My architect father would frequently comment about this Philip Johnson building when we were in the area. For another client request, I was given access to photograph from their outside spaces. I cannot help thinking this view will change drastically over the next few years!

The photos from the 2016 USA Dance released of the Mid-Atlantic Championships held last weekend! Although we have previously covered this event, we did not make it last year. Of course we were excited when we were free this year. Without a doubt the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center is one of the best ballrooms in the DC Area. Here is the link to all of the photos:

At this time, we implemented a new strategy for photos. In case you have never attended this event, it is very large! Not to mention, there are very few breaks throughout the event. So our solution was to have dancers sign up to have us photograph them. Thus, we can concentrate on those that definitely wanted photos. Further, we could make more photos of them so they had a lot to choose from later.

Jo and Claro’s Wedding

For Valentine’s Day, here is a post from Jo and Claro’s Wedding. Previously, I posted about an engagement session I did with them in DC. Luckily, they had as beautiful a wedding day weather as they had for their engagement photos. Firstly, I met the bride at the Hilton in Springfield, VA.

Springfield, Virginia

The bride and her bridesmaids were getting ready at the hotel. Later that day, this hotel would be the site for the reception. I started photographing her family and friends there.

Woodbridge, Virginia

Once everyone in the bridal party was ready, we drove to Woodbridge, Virginia for the ceremony. The rest of their friends and family gathered at Our Lady of Angels Church. Straightaway, the festivities began in full! Of course they were having fun getting ready, but joining everyone else brought lots of energy. Because I grew up seeing Claro’s family often, I had a great time photographing all the activties!

Occoquan, Virginia

After the ceremony, we stopped in Occoquan for some bridal party photos. Since it was on the way to the reception site, we had a convenient stop there. This picturesque little town is a beautiful setting especially in the later afternoon. Then, we headed to the big party!

Hilton Springfield Reception

The ballroom was an appropriate venue for these two. Especially since they had their first date at the restaurant in the same building! Dinner, dancing, and lots of photos – it was an awesome day for photos! Congratulations you two – we wish you the best for the future!
