Holly and Ryan got married! Holly and I had just finished some portraits when she asked me, "do you do video?" At that time, I had been developing my video portfolio for a couple of months, so I was happy to say, "yes, I do!" She asked if I would do video for her wedding, and I was more than happy to oblige. Holly and I have been friends since high school, so it was super special for me to be a part of her wedding day! When I wasn't actively filming something, I also had a ch

It was the week of March 23, 2019. My friend, Holly (whose wedding I'm doing video for), hit me up to see if I'd be available to take photos of her friend, Amanda's, surprise engagement.

It was a cool, crisp autumn afternoon at Fenton Inn, in Roseland, Virginia. It was quiet, but the sounds of rejoice were soon to come as Chauntey and Jason become one in marriage.

The bride-to-be and her bridesmaids indoors with the air conditioning, and Phil and the groomsmen in the outhouse 😅 But hey, grooms don't have to worry about makeup, so I think that's fair! The couple didn't care too much for getting ready shots, so we skipped to the pre-ceremony portrait

A couple of weeks ago, I had the distinct honor of serving as the photographer for Mike and Linh's special day. It was a traditional Vietnamese wedding, full of vibrance and culture, in the heart of Chantily, VA. The weather was cool, yet comfortable, on a fine Sunday morning. I pulled up to their house, which is where the ceremony and portraits were being held. My second shooter, Thera, and I, started off with getting ready shots, and it was all so beautiful!

Ah, the theatre. One of mankind's most prolific forms of entertainment for over 2500 years. Popularized by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and made mainstream by the iconic William Shakespeare, theatre has been a part of human culture as much as war and disease. And much like war and disease, it shows no signs of stopping. My interest in stage photography began my freshman year of college, back when I was first getting into photography. For me, it was simply an accessible phot
