This world renowned performer honored me with the task of photographing her this past fall. She is a very talented piano and violin player and I loved capturing both sides of her talents. We had a gorgeous college campus for our background and had fun getting both color and black and white choices for her future programs.

I photographed a wonderful family this fall and we got smiles from all. We included Grandma and got lots of different groupings! Kids grow up fast and are often changing so it’s great to capture all the growth of childhood!

This wedding was truly a celebration, bringing two together while others celebrated 30 and 60 years of marriage! Set at the Billingsley House Museum in Upper Marlboro, Maryland combined with a beautiful fall day, not only the date was perfect! Here’s to see these newly weds in 60 years at their grandchildrens’ wedding! Congratulations!

A backyard lake side ceremony was the setting for this sweet fall wedding. Many tender moments shared and lots of family photos taken! The afternoon with completed with a grand exit through the bubbles! Many wishes and happy years to the newly weds!

Amy and Tom had a beautiful wedding with tears of joy and smiles filled with love! And with the help of the maid of honor and best man, we captured some fun photos on the golf course following the reception. Congratulation to the wonderful couple!

In late August Megan and Paul were married at a Presbyterian church in the Central West End. We then enjoyed time at Forest Park taking photographs at the Muny and one of the many wonderful waterfalls. Whether you have rain or sunshine, Forest Park always has options for your wedding day portraits!

Julie and Mike tied the knot! We had a fabulous engagement session back in May and then this August there was many smiles and looks of joy as these two wonderful people exchanged vows. It was a great honor to work for this bride and her father, for these two are some of the first ever to introduce me to the world of photography. The whole wedding party was a thrill to work with, especially the two lovely flower girls! Wishing Julie and Mike many long years of happiness and laughter!

With the fall leaves changing colors and lots of unique fences to admire, I captured some fun shots in the Central West End and Forest Park. Don’t forget to stop and take time this fall to notice the beauty around you!
