Home for the Holidays | Wyndham, VA

Brittany and Taylor have a very romantic and uplifting story supporting their already glowing wedding day.  Back in July, I photographed Brittany and Taylor out in the countryside of Haymarket, Virginia for their engagement photos.  It was through that shoot that they ended up booking me as their wedding photographer…  and man am I glad…

“Winter Wonderland…?” | Manassas, VA

This past weekend my wife (Brittany) and I decided to get a little festive and try out the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority’s Christmas/Holiday drive-thru light show right outside Manassas close to I-66.  Unlike previous years, this time a little “fair” was set up at the end of the light show…  So, we thought it…

An Afternoon Wedding | Alexandria, VA

A Dream Come True | Shooting a Caps Game

It was about a year about now that I set out to accomplish what I considered at the time to be my all-time dream as a photographer, a former high-level hockey player, and a Caps season ticket holder (through my parents lol) for almost a decade and a half.  That dream was to obtain a…

A “Pointless” Film

This is simply nothing more than a compilation of test shots from using my new slider and Manfrotto tripod with my 5D MKII and L-Series lenses.  I also applied some subtle, but interesting color corrections in Final Cut Pro X (which I love- it’s built for indie DSLR filmmakers like myself).  More videos with real…
