Alexandria, Virginia

The holidays came so quickly that I missed blogging about the Frances and Carlo wedding from last fall. Prior to their wedding day, we met for an engagement session in DC. From that shoot, they had a large print made to display at their reception. After meeting Frances at her hotel where she was getting ready, we headed to Alexandria, VA for the wedding ceremony.

The Basilica of Saint Mary

For the wedding, we went to this beautiful church in Alexandria, Virginia. Family and friends packed the aisles in order to celebrate Carlo and Frances. After the wedding, the beautiful fall evening gave us the opportunity for some beautiful portraits outside. The Wilkes Street tunnel was only a couple of blocks away. This is undoubtedly a popular place for portraits in Old Town.

Fort Belvoir, Virginia

Following the important group photos, we drove to Fort Belvoir’s Officer’s Club. Since Carlo is in the Air Force, they had access to this beautiful venue for their reception. Following their sparkler exit, we concluded a beautiful wedding day. Best of luck to both of them as they grow their family!

As long as I have been making portraits, new year means new inquiries! 2017 January headshots requests are coming in like a needed resolution. Compared to most of my assignments, this the most different. For the most part, many of my subjects do not know that I am there. In other words, being quiet and non-distracting is a goal while I am working. This is surely not the case with headshots.

Although I am currently working on headshots, I am posting these sessions from last year. In general, I have a setup that I like to use that makes headshots flexible for lots of uses. As can be seen in these examples, I photograph you in front of a white seamless background. By and large this will work for most cases since you can easily remove the background.

Similarly, all of these examples are mobile lighting setups. If it is more convenient for your staff, I can bring my setup to where you are to get all the photos in one setting. Moreover, I find that some are more comfortable in their work space already, so it shows in their portraits! I’ll post soon with other examples from the studio for comparison. Happy new year!
