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!

2009 Ballroom Dance

Dancing at an Arthur Murray Showcase event in Tysons, VA

It was an amazing photography year for me on the ballroom dance floor! I was able to go to exotic places (Philadelphia) to familiar venues to capture the most dynamic, and best images so far. The last event of the year was the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. For the last event, we got some great help from behind the camera, so we could actually step out on the floor ourselves. It was nerve-racking, and scary to get back out there, but we had a great time. Plus we had some great shots of us as a bonus! Thanks to everyone who helped us setup and photograph these events, and of course, thanks to everyone who has supported my little enterprise by purchasing pictures. I can’t wait to see everyone again in 2010!
