New Album Offering

Looking for the perfect album vendor can be difficult. When it comes to leather bound flush mount albums, we are more than happy with our current vendor: kiss wedding books, but when it came to finding something a little more sophisticated, and with alternatives to leather our new vendor is exactly what we were hoping to find!

Naomi and Ray {engaged}

Christi and I met up with Naomi and Ray yesterday in Ellicot City. The spot they chose for their engagement shoot was awesome. It had a really laid back feel and we had an awesome time walking around, jumping onto walls, sneaking into alleys, and fitting in last second shots before the rain came!

We then spent the evening in a little restaurant, hanging out, and sharing bread pudding and whatever else happened to make it to our table. I told them it would be 3-5 days before I worked on their images, but when I backed them up into the computer and looked at them I had to go ahead and work on a post!

Congrats you guys, we had an awesome time:)

goodbye to the {new} hello to the {old}

I'm saying hello to my old cell phone today! Actually its more like I'm saying goodbye to my new one. I first got the blackberry pearl, a little over a year ago. I instantly fell in love with having the internet and email on my phone. Then I upgraded to the blackberry storm, and then became completely addicted.

There's this thing about addictions... you start to hate the very thing you are addicted to. And now I can honestly say that I hate my cell phone! I wake up in the morning and I reach over and grab it and find myself looking at news websites even though I don't really want to know what's going on when I first wake up! I get emails but its too awkward to try and respond so then I just go all day knowing what work I have ahead of me. I'd rather just wait, get all my emails at once and then spend the hour or two just responding all at once.

Anyways, I've been thinking about it for awhile now because it seemed like every wedding we shot this spring had some guy sitting at his table, oblivious to the world around him because he was on his blackberry. I don't want to be THAT GUY. The guy who lets his wife dance all night with her friends while he reads espn and checks his facebook and twitter status. That guy is no fun! I thought I got a blackberry for freedom but when my wife caught me pulling out my blackberry to check the drudgereport when we were at a family dinner I realized that I had sought freedom from my computer, but in exchange I became a slave to the phone in my pocket.



So... if you need me immediately, just call! I'll gladly go through the small talk that email helps us avoid:) or... I do text, though now I have to do in on a tiny keyboard!

Virginia Beach {TTD}

Lorrin and Dan drove all the way from Raleigh, fought through the horrible tourist traffic at the beach, only then to walk 15 blocks to this pier that I insisted we shoot at. Only then to go into a random seafood/chinese restaurant buffet and beg to use the bathroom.

They did all of that so that she could spend an hour rolling around in the sand, swimming, and drawing the attention of the many hundreds of spectators who were just as busy taking pictures as I was. Needless to say, they were troopers and I just had to Post these as soon as possible!

I think they speak for themselves... great job Lorrin!

Tiffany and Michael {Engaged}

When I met Tiffany and Michael a few months ago in MacArthur Center I knew that this was going to be a fun couple to work with. We decided to catch the ferry between Portsmouth and Norfolk and it ended up being awesome!

Congratulations guys, we can't wait till the wedding!



(quite possibly the best engagement picture I've ever taken!)
