Welcome to our blog! We are based outside of Washington D.C. but we find ourselves traveling all over to photograph amazing events and people. Sit back and check out some of our latest work featuered here!
Last Friday morning, was not the warmest of mornings at all, but you could find me hanging out in front of the Lincoln Memorial in DC. I was there to photograph waiting to spot Pratik and his girlfriend, Ronak. They had flown in from Texas the evening before and were spending Valentine's Day/President's Day weekend in DC. Pratik wanted to kick it off by proposing to Ronak, and he did just that, AND she said YES!
Here are a some of my favorites from the surprise proposal:
Jade was one of my roommates at Elizabethtown College. She and I had a ton of fun living together in a cramped college dorm room. At the beginning of the fall semester of our junior year, she took me to her family's annual camping trip. Before going, she warned me to stay away from her brother's friends. They were "trouble." During the trip, she met Ryan... one of her brother's friends. The chemistry between them was instant. They started dating, and they have been together ever since. Years later, Jade and Ryan got married in Montego Bay, Jamaica at the Iberostar Resort! I was able to make the trip out there and photograph their gorgeous wedding.
Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding:
So morning after their wedding, Kate and Nick were troopers and came out for a sunrise session on the beach!
Here are a few of my favorites:
I have known Kate and Nick forever. Nick and I grew up in the same neighborhood. Kate and I played lacrosse together in high school. They started dating in high school and have been together ever since. Scott and I traveled to Bethany Beach, Delaware for their rehearsal dinner, wedding at the Bethany Beach Ocean Suites, and sunrise trash the dress session.
You can find the sunrise session here.

Ohhhhhh Katy...YOU'RE ENGAGED! AH! IT HAS HAPPENED! Please excuse me while I happy dance all over the place. If the rest of you don't know, Katy has been my partner in crime on many shoots in recent history, and now she's my engaged partner in crime! Andrew is a drummer/musician extraordinaire down in good ol' Tennessee. They met while on a photo shoot for the band he is currently in, If Birds Could Fly. Soon after that, they were smitten. She may be living in Maryland. He may be living in Tennessee. But they don't let that stop them. At the end of August, Andrew dropped down to one knee at the top of Annapolis Rock in Maryland and popped the question. Before saying yes, Katy (being the photographer that she is) had to take a photo.
Photo credit to Katy.
Katy and Andrew came out to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia for their engagement session. We hiked all over town and all the way up to Jefferson Rock for photos. We ended the day at St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins.
Katy and Andrew- I CANNOT WAIT for your OBX wedding in September!!
Here are a few of my favorites from their session and make sure to check out the end for a behind the scenes photo:
A quick behind the scenes photo from the church ruins in Harpers Ferry:
1/200 sec at f/3.2 ISO 200. Shot with a Nikon 35mm 1.4G on a Nikon d3s
Lyndsey is holding the key light- a 30" Lastolite Ezybox with a Nikon SB-910 Speedlight (1/8 Power). Directly behind Katy and Andrew is two more SB-910s. One is on a lightweight light stand with no diffuser zoomed all the way out and pointed directly at the couple for rim light (1/4 power). The other is on a Manfrotto Justin Clamp on the ground with the factory diffuser pointed straight up to illuminate the ruins behind them. All speedlights were triggered with PocketWizards. With the high shutterspeed and low ISO, I killed alot of the ambient light in the ruins to make the light from the speed lights more prominent. This also allowed the dusk sky to have an amazing color gradient naturally.
A HUGE thank you to Lyndsey for hiking all over Harpers Ferry with me and just being amazing!!

A while back, I photographed Katy & Drew's engagement session at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. One of the backdrops we used was the St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins Well, that session led Chris to me even BEFORE he proposed to Callie!
Callie and Chris met in Hawaii (where Callie now lives), but they have spent much of their relationship apart since Chris was stationed in Georgia. Ever since the possibility of becoming engaged, Callie wanted to have the engagement shoot in front of church ruins. This lead to asking around, lots of google searching, the proposal, and finally the shoot!
