It was another hotly contested Potomac Cup team match on Saturday afternoon. This time the schools from Virginia triumphed over the excellent dancers from Maryland to claim the cup for this event. Although this is a friendly competition, the winning team really gets a boost taking home the trophy until next time.

During dinner breaks, I made some group photos as people came on and off the social dance floor. Undeniably, my first shot was an accident! I had a longer exposure time dialed into the camera.

Following this accident, I continued experimenting with the settings. Of course finding willing volunteers is not difficult at a ballroom dance event.

2015 Summer Concert Series – Tysons Corner Center

Music on the Plaza

Photos from the 2015 Summer Concert Series straight from the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. In order to bring more people out to their community-building space outside of the mall, they started this series last year. Together with 94.7 Fresh FM, a great lineup of musicians brought everyone outside on Friday evenings.

Piano playing – songwriting singers are my favorite, and Gavin DeGraw is one of the best. He rocked the first crowd of this year’s Summer Concert Series. His performance was so good, they shot fireworks off of the parking garage to celebrate!

Black Alley won a spot in the 2015 Summer Concert Series through a performance contest held at the mall last year. Due to the amazing reception the crowd had for their music last year, they came back to repeat raves!

The first repeat performer in the Summer Concert Series was Andy Grammer. In like fashion, his vocals really soared over the Plaza to the cheerful crowd. Whereas last time was an acoustic set with him and a guitar, the brought a full band this year.

The Legwarmers closed out the Friday concerts. During their performance, the crowd was given glow sticks to wave after the sun set. To illustrate the motion and light, I used a long exposure to blue the colors.

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.
