Washington, DC

Earlier this month, I met Frances and Carlo for an engagement session. Being that they asked me where I would like to meet, this location was my idea. The Lower Senate Park is one of the most picturesque and “DC” places to make photos. Although it is very popular for photo shoots, we were lucky that it was not crowded!

Frances I had met prior to the shoot. She had some very nice plans for their upcoming wedding! While it may be true that the bride does most of the planning, Marco was a great sport. He was in great shape and for this reason I did not hesitate to ask him to do anything physical. Easily he picked her up to illustrate a spontaneous moment! In reality is was all set up, but they played along nicely.

Obviously they were a beautiful couple, but they were easy to work with too. On this occasion the wind became stronger at times. These two just rolled with it! I enjoyed editing these, and really look forward to their upcoming wedding.

Utah and Arizona

Continuing a series of posts from a trip to the Southwest United States, this is from a stop in Monument Valley, UT. Without a doubt, this was one place I knew was going to be a bucket-list place to make photos. Being that it is in so many movies, it is almost instantly recognizable as the American West. The initial photo is from John Ford Point named for the director of many movies in the Westerns genre. This was above all the most tourist-y place in the park, but having a rider on a horse in that setting is worthy of a cliche image.

From a photography perspective, there is a pleasing combination of colors here. On one hand the clear blue skies complements the red sands of the rock. With the dry desert air, there is no haze to contend with making all the images sharp right out of camera.

Professional Shows

On this occasion, the McLean Hilton in Tysons, VA was decorated in a Country Western theme. Of course this fit in well with the Western dance routines. Moreover, the professional shows tied in the theme as well! To illustrate, here are some photos with the costumes, and the sets that decorated to tie in to the theme.

Overall, the routines were a lot of fun! Not to mention the mix of group formations and single couples dancing made for a nice combination. Also, the backgrounds that climbed to the ceiling completed the look!
