Washington DC celebration dinner

Last Saturday, I was privileged to photograph a family celebration dinner for a Bar Mitzvah at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC. At this time the event was a gathering of family and friends on a beautiful evening in our nation’s capital. The event was planned by Kelley at Carte Blanche Events. Also, Dick Steiner provided the entertainment for all the guests in attendance. Both Kelley and Dave from the Four Seasons were very helpful in making the evening run smoothly. Additionally. they helped me to get some great images of the family, the events, and the food!

On this occasion, the desserts really capped off a great night! A deconstructed smore served on dishes, and a “Hammer Time” table created by Dave brought a fun and unique way to get your last bit of chocolate, sweet, and nutty treats in a take-home bag. Lots of fun to break up and eat!!

Miriam and Ahmad

It was a beautiful engagement party in downtown D.C. at the Washington Marriott for this Miriam and Ahmad. Lots of family and friends enjoying great music and dance. Additionally, they had a great tasting dinner in between! Tom from Suburban Video was likewise there to cover the event on video. He was a great videographer to work with especially with lots of dancing, and groups to cover in and out of the ballroom.

In addition to all the guests, there were some beautiful details to photograph at their event. Undeniably some guests really put effort to beautify their gifts. With this in mind, I took some time get some detail photos.

At this time, the families that were coming together were very celebratory! On account of this couple coming together, they were excited about the future of these two. Miriam and Ahmad were welcoming and accommodating to everyone that came to attend their celebration.

A live band played most of the night. As car be seen, many of the guest took advantage of their performances, and got out on the dance floor! I enjoyed all the happy photos all over the ballroom.

Thanks to Abdullah for recommending me to photograph his brother’s engagement. You have been a great friend at work, and I’m glad you thought of me. I had a great time!

January 20, 2009

Well, I’m finally exhausted from checking in on the Inauguration coverage all day today. It was an amazing sight from the lines at the Metro last night (looks like the stations were full by ~10PM!) to the early morning shots of the mall awash with people and flashbulbs. It was inspiring to watch the ceremonies, and the transfer of power, and the political hobnobbing in the capitol luncheon.

Although controversial through most of his presidency right from the beginning, Bush did have to work hard these last 8 years. I didn’t last 8 years in my first job out of school, and it seemed like a lifetime. Obviously, it was not as demanding a position! Nor was I under as much scrutiny as well.

I am hopeful that the new president will bring what our country is looking for. A peaceful transfer of power to a new leader is an especially American tradition since its founding. That continues to this day in a similar fashion. I am thankful that I was able to witness it even if I was not in the city… but 20 miles away… on my television.
