A few of my favorites from the shoot.

 

Ain't these two just adorable? Check out their engagement portraits here ::

There are a bajillion things going on. I just finished publishing a photo/poetry book from international adventures (that will be available soon), I am finishing the preps for a show in DC on May 14th (have you RSVP'd yet?), and I am finishing up the school year with these crazy kids at Barnard Elementary.  

And a new site, new brand, new stuff... is coming at the end of June!

Featured on a fashion magazine wedding blog today. Who woulda thought? Special thanks to Joanna Goddard!

 

Katie + Mark's wedding is featured in the current Brides Washington and Maryland magazines! I am honored to have one of the five weddings published in the issue.

Heather was so very kind to me this morning. Head over and check out the feature. 

Dream Green is a great resource, that connects you to some wonderful ideas. I am all about it! Here are some that caught my eye:

+ Sustainable, Responsible, and Eco-friendly jewelry 
+ Announcements and Invitations. Also, check ProDPI's green paper options. I used them for recent promotional material and they turned out really nice.
+ Eco-friendly wedding favors

 

Traveling and photography often go hand and hand. I have had some really extraordinary experiences over the last couple years traveling, for which I am still discovering how to make the most of {dot, dot, dot} 

I had a blast down in Tennessee last month with Sally and Todd. The fall colors, the light, and of course, the bride and groom(!) were just beautiful...

Who ever made a rule that you had to go in chronological order when you look at wedding photos? It's silly, really. You see, it rained just about all day on Katie and Mark's wedding. You would never guess though, with all the crazy joy and love at the dance floor. Follow down through the reception... to the ceremony... and all the way to very beginning (at the end)... this was a perfect day.

It was held on Mark's family farm outside Baltimore. Sooooooo awesome.
