Professional Shows

To complete the event, some of the judges from the event danced some shows for us! Arianna Esposito and Gianni Caliandro showed some extraordinary smooth dancing. Quickly covering the entire floor, they showed off speed and technicality in their dancing.

In contrast, Sheena Daminar and Jungie Zamora danced in the Rhythm style for their performances. Although they have judged and performed at this event in previous years, they brought new elements to their dancing. Of course the effortless looking lifts grab the most attention. Moreover the emotion that they convey all throughout their movements set the tone to their music. On one hand, they have an athletic look to their dancing. However, they pair it very well with their musicality. Great shows all around!

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!

Last Saturday, we photographed the 2016 DC Dance Challenge. Although we were at a new venue, the Westin Alexandria, the room was excellent for photos! After all the dancing, we edited and sorted the photos by numbers worn by gentlemen. To see all the photos, here is the link:

Thank you to Jennifer Bonini for having us cover her event again this year! Previously we have photographed the DC Dance Challenge in many other venues in the area. In addition to staff from Forever Dancing ballroom, they ran a smooth event. Eventually, we will get a list of the award winners from this event. For instance, Top Bronze Student, Top Studio, etc. Then I will make some nice plaques labeled with the awards and one of their images. Be on the lookout for those soon!
