Fall Engagement photos

When the season start to change from Summer to Fall in northern Virginia, we are so lucky to have some beautiful light outside to make photos. These two asked me to make some engagement photos prior to their wedding next summer. With the sun going down earlier in the day, and the weather being a little milder, it was a perfect time to have a nice portrait session. Green Spring Park in Annandale, VA is a beautiful backdrop for photos. There is a lots of green areas, flowers, as well as structures that are perfect settings for all kinds of photos.

The 18th century historic home has beautiful red bricks and green shutters that are looks like printed backgrounds that photographers roll out in studios. Having the real thing to work with is much better! Although I was disappointed that a very large tree at the back of the house did not survive the last winter. But even the stump makes a great seat!

If you have any reason to get some family or other portraits, please let me know! It is very close to the holidays, a great time to update family photos. I know I will be making a lot of new ones this year.

Holy Trinity Catholic Church

Last year, I photographed two weddings at the beautiful Holy Trinity Catholic Church building in Gainesville, VA. Father Peffley is frequently on the guest list at many Filipino parties and services at my old parish in Woodbridge. So, I offered to take pictures of their new building. Soon after, I am in the building scouting photography angles. On this occasion, he allowed me take amazingly detailed photographs of the empty sanctuary, fixtures, and stained-glass windows.

Some of these have been made into postcards that are available in their gift shop. For this project, I collaborated with a local print shot to produce the cards. Please support this parish by purchasing some!

For those looking to get married, they have detailed information on their comprehensive website. For photographers covering weddings, more details from the venue is always preferable. Although things will be busy on a wedding day, review the rules beforehand!

The stained-glass windows were created at the Dixon Studio in Staunton, VA especially for Holy Trinity. On viewing, these windows create a modern take on ancient themes of art and craft. The windows transmit beautiful colors into the building. Dixon will install the last of the windows soon. When they completed, I hope to complete the photographs of all the windows soon!

Overall, it is a beautiful place to get married. Additionally, there are many places nearby for bridal portraits, and fun shots with your entire bridal party. Thanks again to Fr. Peffley for giving me the opportunity!

New extended family

I don’t really have much experience with puppies. These little dachshunds, though, were so much fun to play with! My in laws added to our extended family with these two. The camera was firing away since everyone was saying they were not going to look the same for too much longer. It has been only a month, and that I can’t believe how different they look already. Here they are Dani and Max on the day I met them.

Sometime later, we went back out for another visit. At this time, they already started to look much different! Also, they were starting to become more used to us. While we were visiting, they responded to their names more. and they were ready to play. Dani especially wanted us to send out the frisbee for her to chase around outside. She absolutely is the more playful of the two. Max easily wants to make more noise.

Having never grown up with dogs in my house, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting our new extended family. Although they have always had dachshunds, these two have emphatically different personalities. I guess I should not be surprised. Even human relatives can differ greatly. I can see making lots of photos of these two for years!
