Omar and Hannah – Sunset Engagement Session in Big Meadows

mountain engagement session in big meadows at sunset

Welcome to one of my favorite portrait sessions so far this year, a sunset shoot in Big Meadows with two of our former coworkers (we also attended the same high school). The evening had two highlights for me: 1. Sharing iced espresso with Omar and Hannah atop a limestone boulder, waiting for the sun to get low in the sky. 2.The post-sunset moody lifestyle images we captured towards the end of the session…..all in all, a great evening spent exploring the meadow.

Omar and Hannah were so fun to photograph. Looking forward to their wedding in less than a month!

2012 – personal reflection + a collection of my favorite work

self portrait with Mamiya 645 Pro captured on Tri-X and self developed

Up to Now

2012 has indeed been exciting. I’ve spent much time this year redefining my artistic vision, exploring a vast array of different topics of study in the sciences as well as the arts, self-developing over thirty rolls of film, and in the latter part of the year, deciding how to begin to add high quality cinematography services to the package lineup.

Rory and Becah | October Virginia Beach Wedding

Virginia Beach Wedding on the beach in October at high noon bright day

Rory and Becah are such an amazing couple. In addition to being some of the nicest and most understanding people ever, they’re SO good at just being themselves (while ignoring that there’s a man with a funny looking beard and hairdo pointing a lens at them). I feel so fortunate to have been asked to capture the story of their October waterfront wedding in Virginia Beach. Enjoy!

Jordan and Lisa | ‘S’more Love’ [autumn engagement session]

engagement session in the woods, surrounding a fire with smores and flannel in autumn

I’ve been waiting to share this session for some time now. Before the cold set in, we met up with Jordan and Lisa for an engagement shoot in the woods. I had an idea for an engagement shoot involving a fire with s’mores, so we included it in this session of much variety. From sports to (pretending to be) playing music, to hiking, to flannels. . .Jordan and Lisa share many interests. It was very easy to identity with them on this issue! They were so very lovely to work! Aneila and I are excited to be filming their wedding within the next few years! Enjoy!

Lee and Lauren | First Anniversary

Kelley anniversary photoshoot on rainy autumn fall day with umbrella at Mary Baldwin College on the Terrace

Back in October, we met up with Lee and Lauren at the venue of their wedding to capture their anniversary photos(their wedding was our first!). I planned for the shoot to happen on a rainy day, as I had some ideas for fun rain shots. For some weird reason, Lee and Lauren popped into my mind when I thought of rain on the Terrace at Mary Baldwin College. . .for those that don’t know the story, it POURED as Lauren entered the ceremony last year. Everyone ran. The ceremony was resumed inside the ballroom. Neither Lee’s nor Lauren’s smile disappeared though!! I was really impressed. Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to see what I’m talking about! Enjoy!

Jimmy and Meg | Married

Keen barn Wedding in Elkton Virginia September 2012 vsco visual supply co film look

Finally, a wedding close to home. I mean really close! The Barn at Aspen Grove was just a ten minute drive from our place in Elkton, Virginia. Not that I don’t like to travel(I love to travel), but it was nice to wake up and not have a long scary drive ahead of us to get the Jimmy and Meg’s wedding. The day was absolutely perfect, in every aspect. The September afternoon was not too warm, and not too cold. The family was great to work with, as was the DJ, venue owners, celebrant, and caterers (links to all at the bottom!). I’m so excited to share this wedding with you all!
