Allison + Adam's Wedding

Allison and Adam live in Seattle but have family in the DC area, so they decided to get married in Maryland. Allison and Adam are both Latter Day Saints (Mormons), so they began their wedding day with a formal mormon ceremony at the The Washington DC Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Kensington, MD). This ceremony was held for Mormon family members and friends, so the rest of us waited outside the doors as they joyously exited the temple as newly weds. We then proceeded to take family portraits and bride & Groom portraits around the temple. There are not many large mormon temples like this one, so we wanted to take full advantage of it's beauty. After portraits, we headed to a barn in Dickerson Maryland where Allison and Adam had a ring ceremony for the rest of their friends and family (who were not Mormons). I was able to photograph this along with the details for the reception at this site. Allison spent a lot of time putting together the small details to make this beautiful DIY wedding come together. This was my first Mormon wedding, so I was really excited to photograph it and was also very impressed with their attention to detail.

New York City Portraits

As you might know I traveled to NYC this past weekend for Erin & Brian's Wedding. I made sure to get in town early to see Carla Ligon-Miller's new home in the city! You might remember her from a couple of shoots we worked on together. She is a fantastic make-up artist. I spent the first two days visiting with Carla, David, and Maui. Here are a few shots I took for their holiday card.














As you can probably tell it was a little bit chilly on this November day but we still got some fun fall portraits!

a Simply Elegant New Hampshire Wedding

On Labor Day weekend Michelle and I flew out to Manchester, New Hampshire for Amy & Nate's beautiful wedding. We sure did had a great time! Amy and I went to Hollins University together and I really enjoyed spending this special day with her!

“In planning and designing my wedding, I stalked Martha Stewart Wedding (I love Martha!), Vera Wang's blog, and wedding blogs! Regarding look and feel, I am very feminine and I like pretty things, Nate is very functional and minimalist. I wanted formal, he wanted casual. In an effort to marry our tastes as well as ourselves, I kept channeling "simple elegance". Nothing over the top or ornate, just simply elegant. A garden theme evolved through the process as well since the ceremony was going to be next to a garden, the reception was in the garden room, the flowers were garden roses, and the favors were honey. We stuck to basic ideas with lovely details. My biggest inspiration, however, was my dress, which was what ultimately set off the simple elegance train of thought. Groom aside, it was my favorite wedding detail. If I were to be a dress- that is what I would look like. “



“I chose to wear ballet flats rather than heels on my wedding day. My first thought was a pair of lovely heels. However, upon further consideration I knew I was going to want to switch to flats part way through the reception, and then I would be tripping over my dress! Not to mention, I wasn't convinced I would be able to walk in heels on the grass, you never know how wet the ground will be etc. So on to plan B. I have always loved ballet, despite my complete lack of talent! Plus I love pink. I thought It would be pretty to have the little bits of pink peeking out, not to mention they were comfortable! I was able to dance all night.“































“My favorite part of the wedding day was when the groom and groomsmen gave an impromptu performance! They are all talented musicians.”







If you've never been to New Hampshire...you've got to check it out! It is so picturesque! Michelle and I enjoyed taking some time off to relax in a new environment. As much as we are in love with DC, it's always nice to get away for a few days! Though we didn't meet our ultimate goal of seeing a real live moose during our visit, we saw the "moose crossing" signs which was very exciting!
