Saturday, June 6, 2009 at 12:42PM Last weekend, Erin and I had the pleasure of capturing Allison and Dustin's wedding at the incredible Chesapeake Beach Club, as associates for Armin Defiesta Photography. The venue was stunning, and was made even more incredible with the brilliant sunset that dipped behind the Bay Bridge, which served as the backdrop for their ceremony. You may remember Allison and Dustin's engagement session that Erin and I shot last October in Georgetown, and as before they were such a fun couple to shoot! Be sure to check out Erin's blog too!




Look at how happy they are! So in love!
Pre-ceremony cheer!



Great toasts! The Matron of Honor even made a Wedding Crashers and Anchorman reference in hers!
A tower of cupcakes instead of a traditional cake, very cool






The self-titled "Assistant Best Man" Aaron treated the newlyweds to a solo!
Aly and Dustin were really working the dance floor!

Sunday, October 12, 2008 at 9:51PM So we have a [unspoken] trespassing rule in photography... "It's better [read "easier"] to ask for forgiveness than to go and seek out permission..." this rule pertains to trespassing on people's property in areas like Alexandria, DC, Georgetown, Leesburg, well pretty much anywhere in which private property has WAY more character and 'cool-factor' than public places. This past weekend Erin and I had our engagement shoot for Alison and Dustin in Georgetown (therefor the tip-toe trespassing law holds true). We walked all over town on a near-cloudless Sunday afternoon/evening and found some great little alleys and doorsteps to intrude on (even a classic VW Beatle to use as a prop). I'm looking forward to their wedding that Erin and I are shooting in May, it sounds like it will be a blast! Check out Erin's post too! Here are some of my favorites from the day:

...more trespassing, unfortunately the gate had some pretty fresh paint on it...

...had to wait at those stairs for like 5 minutes waiting for people to stop getting in our shot...

...Alison grabbed a camera and chased after the celebrity [Dustin] outside Papa-Razi

...threw in some off-camera flash for a little fill as the Sun was dipping behind the buildings...

Friday, May 30, 2008 at 11:48PM This past Thursday, I got a chance to hang out with quite a few other photogs, and we had a blast. Armin set the whole thing up, and we had Kenny Kim from Chicago, as well as Paul Price (of PSquared Photographic), Peter Bang, and Troy Woods (of ClarkBailey Company) all hanging around Reston Town Center. Also Laura of Soiree Events and Jaime and Stuart of E2 Events came too!. Jaime and Stuart got married about a year ago, but we had them pose for a "engagement shoot" anyway.

Friday, May 9, 2008 at 3:28PM So we knew this going into it, but Armin and I were shooting a lifestyle portrait session with Maggie and Mike yesterday, and about halfway through Mike popped the question. Maggie was so surprised when he dropped down to one knee, and was laughing when a guy in a car passing by shouted out "Don't do it, just say no!" as Maggie raised her fist and shook it at the guy retorting "You're ruining the moment!" Enjoy the photos!
