During Kristin and Kenneth’s beautiful wedding, you could feel all the love in the air as the couple took their vows. If you looked around, you could see the joyful tears in everyone’s eyes. I thought I’d post a few of the pictures so you could see some of the joy.

Imagine a wedding where the east meets the American west, and you have Delphine and Jeff’s beautiful wedding. It was a fusion of Vietnamese and American culture with the most vibrant of colors. It was a wonderful wedding, and the reception was charged by an energetic band they had chosen. In addition to the band, the reception room was very elegant and the lighting of the room worked great for pictures.

I had a chance to photograph my little boys yesterday while uncle Adam and auntie Naz helped me out. They’re so incredibly cute! Timothy’s in that active stage where he runs around with his many expressive faces. He just can’t sit still, and it’s fun shooting photos of him. My other son, Josh, has finally grown two baby teeth. He’s almost 7 months old, and he’s quite the drooler right now. All the girls are just lined up for them. I’m sure they’re going to grow up to be heartthrobs for the ladies.

Here’re some photos of them:

The seminar last week went very well. We had a lot of people and my friend Joe joined us to teach. It was great fun, and to prove that, I’d like to post a before and after shot of the class.

I’d like to thank everyone who came to the seminar. It was a lot of fun teaching and learning from all of you!

Rachel and Chu’s gorgeous wedding started out at the JW Marriott, where they got ready. I had so much fun shooting for the young hip couple. The colors of the hotel were so perfect. Here are some of the photos from their wedding day. They got married in D.C. at the Western Presbyterian and had their reception at Old Ebbitt Grill.

Thanks to all the bridesmaids and grooms for all the support, and a special thanks to Claire, the maid of honor. Congratulations once again, Rachel and Chu!

I just had an awesome shoot this afternoon with Jane, Matt, and their son James. James was so much fun to work with, and to top it off, there was a bit of a rivalry in the family. Jane’s all for the Redskins, while Matt’s all for the Ravens, so we put James in the Redskins and the Ravens jerseys.

On July 3rd, my good friend Julie and her husband Mark had a beautiful baby boy named Jon. I was able to capture him a few weeks after he was born and again three months later. He was such a joy to photograph.

Congratulations Julie & Mark!

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of going to Jeanie and Hae-In’s beautiful wedding. Adam and Jonathan did a wonderful job starting up and shooting at the wedding in the Ronald Reagan Building. I arrived around 10:30 PM, and later, I had the chance of meeting up with the hip couple at their room at Hotel Monaco in D.C. The hotel was beautiful, and as you will see, the bride was even more so. I took the time to take some pictures of the couple at their enchanting hotel. They were very cool to photograph, and you could see the love they had in their eyes.

 Congratulations once again to Jeanie and Hae-In!
