Lauren and Ariel

On Saturday, I was fortunate to photograph Lauren and Ariel for their wedding in Silver Spring, MD. It started an overcast, slightly rainy day but turned as the bride, groom, and guests arrived at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church. They were all excited, and happy! Obviously, their excitement could not be contained inside or outside the building!

There were proud parents, supportive siblings, family from far and wide in attendance. On this occasion, the ceremony was unique and personal to the bride and groom. Additionally they had family participation and touches of their personalities from gifts, to written vows. Thanks especially to Maria, the mother of the groom, for letting me be a part of your family’s celebration! I hope I was able to capture all the beauty and love that was shared by your growing family.

Summer Fun!

It’s been a crazy summer, so I have not had a chance to update this blog. What have I been up to? I have photographed some weddings, some parties, some portraits, and a lot of family get-togethers. Here are some of my favorites – some not portfolio worthy, but some great memories. Here are some pics from when my cousin Christina visited after working at Busch Gardens for her summer break. Enjoy!

Visiting the airport is always filled with lots of energy! There is a lot to do, and many tasks you need to get done. Additionally, there is the emotions of separating from friends or family. At this time, it was a happy sendoff. My cousin worked close by during her summer break. Now, she was returning to the Philippines with her friends. Obviously I was impressed with what she has accomplished. Being that she is coming halfway around the world to work, I am wondering if I could do something like that. Considering she had to work speaking a language that is not native to her, in a part of the world she is not familiar, that is impressive. Best of luck Christina, and I hope we get to see each other again in the future!

Pet Photos

I photographer Napoleon, a little poodle this past weekend. He was a good subject for pet photos. His owner brought him over in hopes to get some lifestyle photos. Since he has so much personality, it did not take much to get something from. In general, he did not mind the camera! Additionally, he did not mind running around with us attempting to get reactions out of him. Moreover, the day was beautiful! While there is a definite difference between people and animals, I found some interesting parallels. Making portraits is all about making a connection with your subject, and waiting for the right moment!

On this occasion, the fisheye was perfect for the little guy. He is built so close to the ground, so I tried the bulbous wide angle to try something different. It worked especially when I just extended my arms close to the ground without my eye to the viewfinder. From this low angle, you get a view similar to what the dog sees. Given that it allows Napoleon to be framed by the cloud-filled sky, I was very pleased with the capture.
