Jes & Albert

Fast forward through an unexpected romance that upended the individual plans they thought they had made, and it was Albert who was making new plans to ask Jes to be his wife.

Van-Kim & Larry

Van-Kim’s father recounted how the doctor had gotten it wrong. Through every ultrasound and check up and he had been slowly building up expectations for a life with a son, when, to his surprise, he was then handed a daughter.  She’s been keeping the family on their toes ever since! Radiant in presence and thoughtful […]

Jes & Albert Sneak Peek

Friends and family have repeatedly told me about the glory that is the Pacific Northwest summer, and I am here to say that it is true.  That air!  Those 16 hours of daylight! The utter lack of humidity! I’ll go on about that later, but first: Here’s a preview of Jess and Albert’s very beautiful wedding. […]

Ebony & Dominique

Ebony met Dominique in high school when she made the gutsy move to say hi to him on the bleachers.  He wasn’t too friendly at first, and, snubbed, she decided that it wasn’t worth her time anyways.  It was only later when Dominique sat down next to her on the bus did this love story […]

Cylda & Matt

Cylda and Matt’s wedding was at Smokey Glen Farm, an awesome venue located in Maryland that sports barns and picnic benches, and serves up bbq, sides, and pies!

Henry & Oliver 2013

My, how these handsome boys have grown! I get the feeling I’ll be saying that every time I see them. We stepped outside into the beautiful open areas of their community, making our way slowly through gazebos and paths to the big red barn.

Jessica & Bryan

I knew it was going to be a lot of fun, and from the final frames it’s their personalities that shine through. I think if it were entirely up to Bryan, their fall engagement shoot would’ve featured full-body animal costumes (turns out he left it in the car).

Bluejacket Brewery and Arsenal Restaurant

Bluejacket is officially opening its doors tonight. The highly anticipated brewery and restaurant is owned by the Neighborhood Restaurant Group and sports 20 original beers and five cask brews. You can read more about the buzz surrounding it on The Washington Post or the Washington Business Journal. I had a chance to shoot a private […]

Amanda & Kenneth

When Amanda started talking to her sister more and more about this “Uncle Kenny” guy she met at work, red flags started going off in Sarah’s head.  She imagined a balding, 40 year old man chatting up her little sister. To her relief, “Uncle Kenny” was just a nickname referring to the fact that Kenneth […]

B.Lin Catering

Ben Lin at B.Lin Catering started up the first evening of his Latin American Tasting Menu series. In the past, he’s offered a variety of menus including Japanese, Vietnamese, and New American. I usually can’t make it because I’m either working or he’s already booked full, but last Friday I was able to swing by […]
