Jodi and Michael's Wedding Story

I just completed Jodi and Michael's Album and I love it! What a sweet story! I hope they like it as much as I do. To see it for yourself, click here.

Congratulations Jodi and Michael!

Jodi and Michael were married yesterday on her parent's and grandparent's anniversary. That made even the coldest and rainiest day in May special. I worked with Jodi back in my days on the Hill, and count it a privilege to capture the memories from this important day in her life. To see more of their big day, here's a slideshow.

Nathan, Cydil and Ellie

My good friends Cydil and Nathan and their daughter Elisona were here for a short visit this week. Cydil was just here from Kentucky a few weeks ago for a whirlwind trip to help me shoot Leriza and Roderick's wedding, but this time everyone came and I was able to meet Ellie who was adopted from Albania 5 months ago. We took her to the zoo where she enjoyed the other kids as much as the animals! Thursday evening we had a little family photosession and I managed to capture a few good images of everyone which is always tricky with a small child. Here's one of my favorites, and you can see more on their blog.

Susan and Ariel's Slideshow

This may sound funny, but even though I've spent countless hours with Susan and Ariel's pictures, there's something about putting them to music and seeing them in story form that is just magical. I can watch slideshows over and over. To see more of Susan and Ariel's beautiful day, here's their slideshow.

Alex, Duke and Rosie

Multiple dogs are like multiple children in the same photograph - very difficult! Alex was such a trooper and we actually got several good shots of the three of them in spite of the dogs endless energy. This photo shoot was a surprise for Alex's mom for Mother's Day, so hopefully she won't find this posting!

The Queen

Queen Elizabeth arrived at the White House this morning and I was one of the thousands there for the Arrival Ceremony. Here are a few pictures of the Queen and President Bush both of which made brief remarks.
Officials including Condoleeza Rice and the Cheney's on the far right.
The President with his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.
President Bush got a laugh we he almost said that the Queen made a visit to the United States in 1776, meaning of course 1976.

The Queen speaks.

Mrs. Bush and Prince Philip join them to make an appearance on the balcony and wave good bye.

Leriza and Roderick's Album

I've finished Leriza and Roderick's album design. To cover all the festivities, I think it's the most pages I've ever designed for an album! Click here to see their wedding story.

St. Dominic's, Key Bridge Marriott Wedding Photography - Congratulations Susan and Ariel!

Susan and Ariel's wedding yesterday was a classy and beautiful celebration with friends and family coming from far and wide. We started with an early morning shoot to have time for romantic portraits of just the two of them before the day started. The "reveal" was at the fountain behind the National Gallery of Art, which also happens to be Susan’s favorite museum. The ceremony was held at Saint Dominic Church, a regal setting for the ceremony, and the reception at the Key Bridge Marriott. Have a wonderful time in Rome, Susan and Ariel!
