A Fairy Tale Wedding

I have been having the worst computer problems on top of being on a month long traveling extravaganza so this blog post is long overdue. Because they have been waiting patiently for a preview of their images I am going to post alot of my favorites. There were soo many great images from this wedding that is was so hard to narrow it down.
Faiye and Justin were married at Camelot of Upper Marlboro on a gorgeous (although pretty hot) day.
Faiye is absolutely beautful and made a stunning bride! The wedding party was HUGE! Here is a quick shot of the men before the ceremony.
I LOVE these shoes!
The ring bearer kept me cracking up all day. He was obviously loved by all the groomsmen.

As soon as the ceremony was over it was out to the humidity for some photos. It was so obvious how much Faiye and Justin really love each other.

There is something about this that i really like.

I love how you can faintly see Faiye and Justin smoochin in the backgroud of this photo.

Faiye had such a fairy tale wedding that we had to get some fairy tale shots. I just loved these huge windows lining the reception hall.

I love these last 2 images!

Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day!

Thousand Oaks, Califiornia

Although the real road trip adventure is over, I am still in California staying with my dear friend Christina in Thousand Oaks.
If there is one thing that we picked up from being on the road for 5 days with my mother its that dessert should be eaten after EVERY meal. So on our first day without her we found ourselves in search of the perfect dessert and coffee. But first we swung by the beach to catch the sunset.

Eucalyptus and Bubble Gum

Here are a few more photos from my trip down the coast. There are Eucalyptus trees everywhere and I just love them. The smell is incredible. During a pit stop in San Luis Obispo I had to check out Bubble Gum Alley which is just that. An alley covered in gum. The smell of this was also incredible but in a totally different way.
Since I found myself at Bubble Gum Alley with no gum I stuck a penny to an existing piece of gum.
More soon!

Driving down the California coast line!

For those of you who have been wondering where I am, I was in San Fransisco for an amazing workshop with Nate Kaiser of the Image is Found and Susan Stripling.(More on that later) and am currently driving down the coast towards LA. I am here with my mother and my "sister" Christina and we are having the time of our lives slowly working our way down stopping at random places and taking in the great views. We have been on the road about 4 days now and here are a few photos so far. The California redwoods.

Christina, my mom and I during on of of "touristy" stops to the Winchester Mystery House. The hard hats were actually required.

Lots more to come!

It's a big one!!!!

This past 3 weeks in Maryland have kept me very busy with lots of portraits of some of the cutest kids in the area. Since I am heading to shoot a wedding this afternoon and I'm on a time crunch I have to group the last 4 portrait sessions together in one super sized blog post. Here are some of my favorite images from the last 3 days. Enjoy!
