When photographer Bobbi Parker contacted us to preserve their wedding memories, we couldn’t have been more pleased — but we got a bonus! An awesome beach session with these two lovebirds. Bobbi not only loves the camera, the camera loves her! Even though the blue skies wouldn’t cooperate, we felt the misty beach made for an air of mystery and romance that was just perfect for these two.

Once a year, as a family, we go out of town for a week for volunteer work. So we will be out of the office until July 8th. We will return your calls as soon as we return!
In the meantime, enjoy your upcoming holiday!

Special thanks to Rene and Lynda Dickerson for asking us to cover their Special VIP event attended by the fabulous Four Tops and The most awesome Temptations — not only did The Four Tops let us take a picture with them, The Temptations even let us shoot backstage!
What a great day to be a photographer!



Jeff and Bobbi had one of the most creative and unique weddings we’ve seen. From the snowcones to the photo booth, we thought it was awesome. So we had to design an album that was as awesome as their big day.
Hope you like it!
And the words of Coldplay’s song say it all about this couple’s wedding:
It’s such a perfect day
It’s such a perfect day
Now the sky could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time

I don’t think anything says it better than the poem Larry wrote for Juliane for the wedding day.
“Roses are red, and
violets are blue
I will love you forever
and always be true
Your smile is a ray of sunshine
that brightens my darkest day
Your words touch my heart
in everything you say
Grass is green, and
a fire truck is red
I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you
and all the good times that lie ahead”

If you know anything about us, you know that we looooooove weddings that are custom to the couple, traditions that are unique and venues that are one of a kind. With Ilse and Seth, we are three for three.
This couple is soooo unique — both training to be doctors, they hired us before they met us — they just looked over our portfolio on our website and called us sight unseen. What fun it was to meet up with them during the cherry blossoms and take some gorgeous engagement images of them — that’s when their couple personality really started to shine through. We knew that Seth was going to be fun to work with when he climbed the tree at the basin — how kewl is that? And he was great fun as he laughed, smiled and danced with great joy throughout the day.
Ilse has the most beautiful green eyes to go with her striking red hair — a match made in heaven for this photographers lens, truly. I found myself just wanted to take shot after shot of her — one of those brides that truly doesn’t have a bad side. Ilse kept the medieval theme by choosing a gown that was right at home in The Cloisters Castle. With embroidered roses on the bodice, and in her bouquet, and on her gloves, too, Ilse made my heart turn over when she talked about planning to wear this particular wedding dress for the last ten years — and how she couldn’t wait to see Seth’s face. I just love seeing the groom’s face light up when he sees his bride and Seth’s face did not disappoint.
What an awesome location The Cloisters is! Lots of great locations all across the property, a windmill in the back, spiral staircase and turret — not to mention a dance floor inside big enough to do the Jewish wedding dance of the hora!
That dance was slightly outdone by the bride and groom’s first dance though…they chose to really dance! Listening to the fast tempo of “Sway” and watching the smiles on both of their faces, the twinkle in their eyes as they looked at each and enjoyed the quick and intricate steps while their friends cheered and clapped — well, it’s added to the list of reasons we love photographing weddings.

Ryan and Valerie make such a beautiful couple. Valerie looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown. And the look on Ryan’s face the first time he saw her was priceless.
Thank you both so much for letting us play a part in your special day.

Chris and Astrid are one of the coolest couples you will ever have the privilege of meeting. Reston Town Center, in Reston, Virginia was their location of choice — and what a great choice! It certainly made for an engagement session to be remembered. We think the images rock so we decided to make a guest book out of them!

A beautiful couple at a beautiful venue — what more could we ask for!?!? This wedding was marked by gorgeous blue skies and of course, the love of a husband and wife.

When we pick the songs for our couples slideshows, it reflects what we feel about them as a couple, what we think they have conveyed in their session with us — it’s personal. We spend a lot of time picking just the right song, listening to the words and what they say about our couples.
We loved that Chris and Astrid picked an urban location — and what better place than Reston Town Center in Reston, Virginia! Those two are playful and fun, romantic at ease in front of the camera — and above all, in love! It really comes across that not afraid to show how they feel about each other.
So the words to the song for their slideshow has an urban beat, but it’s the words “All I want is for you to be happy and take this moment to make you my family and finally you have found something perfect” that really fit them.
We think Chris and Astrid are perfect for each other!
