After spending just an afternoon with Paolla and Masoud I knew that their wedding was going to be a spectacular event; and I was not disappointed! The wedding was held at the Piedmont Club which is a very classy location further accentuated by Paolla and Masoud’s impeccable style. Upon arrival I sought out the bride and her host of bridesmaids, friends and family who were helping her prepare in the ladies room. I’m not going to lie; there were a few momentarily disoriented club members when a group of woman walked into the women’s locker room to find me, with a camera no less!

The ceremony was simple and sincere, overlooking the rolling expanse of the pristine golf course.  Following the service we found a great place for family portraits which turned into quite the spectacle as everyone found creative ways to combat the high gusts of wind. I was very impressed with Paolla’s model head toss that more than effectively did the trick. While not ideal for family shots, the wind added a dramatic touch to the portraits of Paolla and Masoud. We took full advantage of this and captured some great images of the bride and her wind swept vale.

An exotic belly dance performance set the party in motion and from that point on the dancing did not stop. This energized group celebrated straight through the night and if I’m not mistaken there was some talk of an after party!! This was a truly fantastic event. I wish Paolla and Masoud all the best; I have no doubt that they are in for a good time together.

I met up with Jane and Nic at the Cattail Creek Country Club in Glennwood Maryland on an absolutely beautiful Saturday afternoon; we couldn’t have asked for nicer weather. It was immediately apparent that Jane and Nic had a good thing going; they share a fun loving sense of humor and have a wonderfully natural dynamic. I captured a range of great images as they played a round of golf stopping intermittently to take full advantage of the fall color and beautiful light.  The cattails made for a spectacular backdrop. It was a great way to spend the afternoon and I look forward to shooting their wedding next year.

I met up with Lindsey and Michael on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Washington DC. I had a great time capturing the fun dynamic between this couple as we explored the set potential of many DC monuments. The fall colors were absolutely spectacular and added a wonderful richness to the range of images that we were able to capture. I had a fantastic time and I look forward to shooting their wedding.
