   Shani and Jeremy had their wedding at Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, VA. The wedding was beautiful, very vibrant, and full of color. Their families were very warm and so much fun to photograph. The bride was gorgeous, and the bridesmaids were stunning as well, while the groom and the groomsmen were very GQ. Oh, and the reception… It was very modern and chic with a touch of elegance. The food was savory, and the dancefloor was alive when everyone, old and young, came out to it. I’d like to give a big thank you to the wedding planner, Jodi Moraru & Associates, and Lindsay from Lansdowne, for making it all possible. Here are a few photos from the wedding:

Once again, congratulations to Shani and Jeremy on their wedding! Enjoy life together!

   Last Monday, we held a great class with Alison and Robert as our models in Georgetown, so a big thank you goes out to the two of them. We even had someone fly in from Chicago to take the class! Thanks Jeanie, for coming all the way over here! It was really great seeing you. We had an enjoyable time roaming around Georgetown, and at the end of the photo sessions, we all headed to Papa Razzi for some fine Italian wine and some fine Italian dining. Here are some photos so you get a visual of what happened:

The next day,  we had a special guest for our critique and lighting class. It was a great experience and we couldn’t have done it with out our guest, Douglas Sonders. He’s a celebrity photographer and he shared some of his knowledge and his images with the class. It was a great learning experience for all of us, not just for the people taking the class, but also for me too, as the instructor. Afterwards, we went out to the Buffalo Wing University for some hot wings. Here’s a photo of the  group that went along Tuesday night:

Once again, I’d like to thank everyone for joining our class(es), and Paul for photo-documenting while Adam took a video.

A little while ago, I went out to D.C. with Amy and Edward for a little photo shoot. It was tons of fun, and the time of day just seemed perfect. Everything came out great! The colors were vibrant and Amy and Edward were so great with posing. Here are some photos from the shoot.
