Ruth & Carlos, November 6, 2010

Families. I love families. Especially when you've photographing weddings. It almost feels as if you're one of the family. Back in August (a previous blog), I photographed Maria and Herbert's wedding. Less than 2 months later, I received a call from Carlos, Maria's brother, who was in search of a photographer.

Carlos and Ruth had a beautiful and simple church ceremony. Following the ceremony, the three of us boarded their SUV limo and drove off to Wheaton Regional Parks Brookside Garden. Between the hours of 4 and 5PM, the parks fall colors seemed to show the best. Some photographs I added a little 'tweek' just to pick up those beautiful colors that nature gives us once a year.

Gloria & Arvid August 2010

Gloria & Arvid's wedding was held at Celebrations at the Bay in Pasadena, MD. When photographing receptions, there are different levels of beautiful. To me, Celebrations at the Bay was what I call a 'simple beautiful'. Celebrations is very nice, quiet, almost secluded and beautiful. Gloria & Arvid are such a sweet couple as you can see from their engagement pictures from a previous post.

Kerry & Rusty June 2007

Kerry & Rusty had a beautiful church wedding followed by a very very nice outdoor reception at their neighbors home. Kerry & Rusty are quite a pair and enjoy clowning around as you can see from some of their pictures here.

Charlene & Joe 2007

Charlene & Joe, my first 'out-of-state' wedding. Well,...not that far out of state, just to Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh is an interesting place to visit. Driving through the towns, you can see in some areas where there was once a booming industry and now no more. A lot of old buildings and such. I would love to go back one weekend just to hang out, spend more time, and take pictures of the old towns.

Caitlin & Ben October 2009

I remember Caitlin & Ben's wedding very well. Just like her sister, Caitlin and Ben had a traditional church wedding. Their reception was held at the beautiful Newton White Mansion in Mitchellville, MD. The mansion itself and the grounds had so many places for us to photograph Caitlin and Ben (even with the little rain) as you can see. We had such a great time and then meeting back at Caitlin's parents house later to party a little more. A long day, but a great one too.
