A Special Birthday

Last week my grandfather celebrated his 85th birthday so we got together for a little celebration. I'm so glad that we live nearby to share these special moments, and that my grandparents can watch their great-grandsons grow up.

Here is my nephew Michael, who is quite a ham.

Ryan loves balloons. (He was sick, so he wasn't in the mood for smiling.)

This one cracks me up.

This is my 4-month-old nephew Nicholas.

Grandpa and his great-grandsons.

Of course we had to have cake.

Grandpa shares his birthday with his daughter (my mom).

Ryan started to perk up once the cake came out.

Kelley & Brennan :: Bluemont Vineyard

I kept telling Kelley that she must have done something right to get such a perfect day for her wedding. It was November, in the mountains of Bluemont, Virginia, and the temperature was in the mid-70s! There's just something about a fall wedding, with the beautiful foliage and amazing light. The Bluemont Vineyard was a terrific choice for their wedding ceremony and reception.

I had such a hard time narrowing down the images. I can't wait for Kelley and Brennan to see the rest. In the meantime, these will have to do.

Bluemont Vineyard

Getting ready at the J. Patrick House...

Kelley was radiant.

My talented assistant Brian grabbed this fun shot of the guys. They're really shy if you can't tell. 

I'm so glad Kelley and Brennan agreed to shoot some portraits before the ceremony, so we could take advantage of the afternoon light.

We had more amazing light for the ceremony.

Another great shot by Brian...

I saw this sky and had to grab Kelley and Brennan for a quick pic.

I love the fall theme, especially when cupcakes are involved. 

My competition...

The boys from Road Soda serenaded the couple a cappella style. This is Ryan, whose wedding to Missy I photographed last year.

Sparkler exits are so much fun...

Just watch out for machetes. (Don't ask.)

Brennan's brothers took care of decorating the classic Ford Bronco. Here's the G-rated window.

Congrats Kelley and Brennan! Your wedding was awesome.

Monica & JP :: An Engagement Session in Washington, DC

A few days ago I posted a shot I took of the Washington Monument at sunset after an engagement session. Well, here is the engagement session! Monica and JP were so great to walk all over the Mall with me and hit some fabulous spots for pictures. We definitely got our exercise that day. I can't wait for their wedding next year at one of my favorite venues, River Farm.

Enjoy!
