Maggie and Ryan recently tied the knot in Alexandria. Old Town provided the perfect backdrop for this fun couple.

Maggie looked amazing in her dress.

Maggie’s mother swelled with emotion.

Dad was also not immune to the sight of his daughter in her dress.

The key to good make-up is versatility. You just never know what will be thrown your way.

Ryan and his boys walked the streets before the ceremony.

The fellas were just heading to where Maggie was waiting.

A candid moment

The Hotel Monaco provided many “fine art” backdrops.

As has been tradition, Ryan’s grandfather stole the show at the reception.

Congratulations Maggie & Ryan!

They say that if you’ve been to one island in the Caribbean, you’ve been to them all. After this weekend’s shoot in St. Thomas, we can confirm that this is 100% not true. However, the Ritz Carlton always meets the high standard they have set for themselves.

Jane was a trooper. Despite all the planning and work that go into a destination wedding, she was all smiles during shoots.

The ceremony took place in a gazebo just above the water, and it was elegant and beautiful.

Gorgeous light was everywhere.

The new bride and groom walked happily through a shower of rose petals after the ceremony.

Jane rocked this stylish hat to perfection on the dance floor.

Peter and his mother enjoy a moment.

When the ties come off, the party officially begins.

While the wedding was in St. Thomas, a bit of New Jersey was undoubtedly in the air. Here the beat is getting beat on the ground.

All out fist-pumping commences! The beat cannot win this battle.

Congratulations to Jane & Peter on your beautiful wedding!

A few months back, a bunch of cool seniors from the Trinity Christian School in Northern Virginia came to the studio to have their portraits taken the Hyon Smith Photography way. Here are some pictures from those sessions:

Alleigh came in for the photographs, but it was also an opportune time for a sibling shot with her brother Luke.

Luke got in some practice for his future senior portraits.

 He’ll be ready for Jason Strasburg.

Peter showed his versatility, here sporting a GQ look.

 Casual Peter

 Chaney’s personality comes through in her senior portraits.

Congratulations to all the seniors!

A few months ago, Janxon and his cousin Isabella (with parents in tow) visited the studio for some pictures.

 Janxson loved the camera. And the camera loved him back.

Mom and Dad did alright as well.

Though she required some coaxing, Isabella would not be outdone.

Photographing children and families at various stages is always a pleasure.

Book your session today and create lasting family memories.
