Fort Myer, Virginia

Last October, I photographed a 2017 Army Retirement Ceremony at Fort Myer. Although I have lived close by in northern Virginia, I have never attended this ceremony before. Obviously, I was more than a little nervous since I did not know what to expect. Firstly, just getting to the event site took some time since this is an active military base. The boundaries of the base are up against Arlington, Virginia, but this is a secured facility that had strict entry procedures. Once inside the base, the biggest crowd of people and visitors was going to this ceremony, so I followed the crowd.

Thankfully, I was referred this event by a previous client. It is impossible not to feel pride in your country while attending this ceremony. Viewing the professionalism, and dedication of active service members while in their home base shows their detailed preparation in all their tasks. Moreover, the retirees should be proud of their hard work that they put in service to our nation. Best of luck in your next opportunities!

Professional Shows

At this time, there was another set of great shows to cap this event! In contrast to most other times, I positioned myself in a different part of room. On this occasion we had professionals from the Tysons studio dancing in the show. Prior to the start of the show, I asked where would be the best place for me to sit. Of course, I was looking to get great photos of all the shows. However, we see them every week, and I did not want to miss anything great due to location! From these photos, I think they gave me some good advice.

The photos from last weekend’s 2018 FADS NJ Team Match have been released! Another new event for us and our first trip to New Jersey in years. We are not yet as familiar with the studios here, thus we sorted the photos by gentlemen’s number. While they are up, you can find them here:

Last year, I was contact by Nadia from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Montville, NJ. Certainly this was a booking due to a scheduling conflict. Given that Ryan Kenner usually photographs their events, it was unexpected for us to be here. Without a doubt, I was nervous about covering this event. Ryan is an amazing photographer! It would be big shoes for me to fill for these studios.

Once I got setup, and started making photos, I was feeling better. The venue was the Renaissance Woodbridge Hotel ballroom. Without a doubt, the organizers were very familiar with setting up a room for ballroom dancing. This was not just a studio showcase, this looked like a big dancesport competition! Of course with a new audience, we hope that they enjoy the photos. Please send me any feedback that you have on the results!
