Alexandria, Virginia Wedding

Last May, there was an absolutely perfect day for an Alexandria, Virginia wedding that I photographed. Ann and Barry planned a beautiful day from their ceremony at Good Shepherd Catholic Church. On this occasion, they had a priest that knew them for a long time. Being that, their ceremony was much more personal and made a real connection with the couple and their family.

Relaxing Afternoon

Following the ceremony, all of their family and friends went over to Woodlawn Plantation for an evening of lawn games, photos, and an early evening reception. At the front of the historic mansion, the guests had plenty of time to relax and visit. Also, tours of the historic home were also available. Indeed, Ann and Barry spaced out the time nicely for the rest of their day. We had plenty of time for them to relax after the high stress ceremony. Then, we started back to the serious job of photography!

Wedding Reception

A tent setup next to the mansion was the location for the dinner and reception. On this occasion, the weather was key in keeping everyone comfortable all evening. Consequently, the dance floor was full, and the happy photos of Ann and Barry continued all evening.

Thanks to Ann and Barry for having me and Nikolai cover their wedding! Without a doubt, they thoroughly planned their wedding to be relaxing for their schedule. Additionally, they had activities for their guests to mingle and taste the historic setting for the day.

Hyatt Regency Tysons Grand Opening

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Last April, the Hyatt Regency Tysons opened to great fanfare out on the Plaza. The complex that Macerich is making adjacent to Tysons Corner Center is coming together. In addition to the mall, they now have a residential tower, office tower and this hotel. Many VIPs were in attendance to make remarks for the occasion.

The weather cooperated with us allowing the ceremony to be both inside and outside the building. Given that is was so nice outside, A trio of horn players played at the ribbon cutting! The sound of their horns echoed very nicely around the Plaza.

Hotel Interior

Once the ceremony was completed, we were invited inside to view at the spaces in the interior. As well as a hotel, there is a new restaurant opening with the hotel, Barrel and Bushel. Their bar area opens right to the Plaza. That will be convenient during the Summer Concert Series! The restaurant also had a large dining room, and a private area for small parties to get together.

Additionally, we were brought to some of the hotel rooms to show off the accommodations. From the 4^th floor conference room area, they have a beautiful view overlooking the Plaza. I can see many conference making this a signature venue in the Tysons area for special events. Unquestionably this will be a centerpiece of the Tysons area both for locals and visitors to the area.

Last March we took another trip south to Richmond to cover the 2015 River City Ballroom Dance Competition. We really enjoy coming to visit Veronica and Lee for their event since they are so friendly and really treat us like part of their dance family. Therefore, we try to do our best to make their guests look great on the dance floor. They are the owners of Simply Ballroom in Richmond, VA. To view photos from the event, you can click the link here:

They have a nice core group of studios that come to support this event. It was held at the Doubletree Hilton in Midlothian, VA. There are some familiar faces from studios in northern Virginia that we see year after year. It is nice to catch up with familiar faces. Of course they have new dresses and costumes to go along with new routines.

Dancers come from Maryland, North Carolina, and other independent studios in Virginia. For the heats danced, they were evaluated by Kirill Gorjatsev and Daria Zotova of DK Ballroom. After dinner, Daria and Kirill gave us a great show to end the event with some inspiration. To highlight the professional performance, I changed the setup of the lights to be a little more dramatic.

Adding some grids to my flashes helped to keep the light controlled to a smaller section of the room. As a result, the color costumes that Daria wore to pop! During the dinner break, I really tested this setup to make sure that it would work. However, you never really know how it will go until the dancers get out there!
