Hyon Smith Photography Blog

Engagement shoots are a special way for a couple to mark their upcoming wedding.

Each couple is different, and a location shoot is a great way to express and capture that unique flavor.

Lisa and Donghwa seemed right at home in the Big Apple. They did justice to the old school flavor of New York City while keeping it fresh and modern with their sense of style. Their fun and light nature was a pleasure to work with and comes through in the latest photo set.

Every story has a beginning…

And a middle…

But this story is only just beginning.

Congratulations Lisa & Donghwa!

While the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, I took a few of my clients out (at different times) and took some photographs.

Don’t miss out next year!

It’s that special time of year in the Washington, DC area when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Hyon Smith Photography(HSP) cordially invites photographers in the National Capitol area to enjoy the warm weather and take advantage of a very special HSP Workshop covering cherry blossom photography. (If you are a client interested in a cherry blossom photography session, please contact HSP immediately as time slots while the flowers are in bloom are almost fully booked.)

Apologies for the short notice, but we hope that you will not miss this unique opportunity. In addition to teaching lighting, posing, and composition  techniques as they relate to photography sessions during cherry blossom season, Hyon will share his favorite locations and specific tips on how to capture amazing images around the Tidal Basin. Don’t miss this special opportunity to take your photography and business to the next level!

Additionally, workshop participants will get to observe Hyon work with multiple sets of real clients. Watch and learn from Hyon’s methods developed over 15 years of photography experience.

Spaces for this workshop are extremely limited, so please reserve your spot immediately:

 

I thought I’d post a little teaser of Soo and Steve’s engagement session. It was very romantic, and you’ll have to check out the blog next week for more of the photos.

Here’s another teaser update of their location shoot.

A few weeks ago, I went out to Georgetown with Christina and Myk for their engagement photoshoot, and they brought along their motorcycle. We had a few people come up to us from the streets while we were there, asking us what we were doing, and checking out their cool bike. I got a few photos of them riding, and also captured a few videos of them speeding by everyone.

I had a blast working on Lexie and Brian’s engagement session. If it weren’t enough that Lexie has a great sense of fashion, Brian also has GQ down to the toes. To top things off, they brought their cute dog, Jack, to the session. I’m so excited to work on their wedding in September! Here are a few photos from the engagement session:

Hye-Hyun and Chang’s engagement shoot was wonderful! They were great and very cool to work with. I loved how fashionable they both were. They were very hip and fun to capture. Here are a few of the pictures from the shoot:

Hey everyone! Yesterday, I went out to Georgetown for Rebecca and Bobby’s engagement, and guess who tagged along? Moxie! She’s like the third member of the family!

Here are some photos from the shoot, enjoy!

Oh, and here are some photos of Moxie in action!

I would just like to thank everyone, the grooms and the brides, Allison & Rob, Jenna & Yong, Sue & Andre, Sara & Nick, Kristin & Ken, and Clara & Mike, for coming out on that cold, cooooollld day for the Cherry Blossom shoot. As a thank you, I’d like to post a few of my favorite pictures!

Dear Hyon, Adam & Bruce,

Thank you so much for everything you do! We had a blast at our Cherry Blossom Engagement Shoot-you all are a great team… THE BEST! Hard work, creative, imagination and vision shine through in your photographs. We definitely chose the most professional (and FUN!) team! Grateful, Robert & Allison

Now for the exciting news. You better sit down for this. Are you ready? We have just been reviewed by The Knot under photographers and here’s what’s they said:

Hyon Smith is “artistic and creative,” say happy brides. “He really knows how to catch you in the moment” and that “makes for great shots.” You’ll love his team’s attention to “ever detail” and their “easy and flexible” attitude.

We received the highest ranking for wedding photography and a plaque! We were also mentioned under best videographers, as well!!
