Brittany and Max had a gorgeous countryside wedding that ended as one big party and celebration. It’s as simple as that. I really enjoyed photographing their special day, and I’m pleased to share it with you! Please feel free to skim through the photos, and leave a comment if you’d like at the bottom of this post. Thanks!

Well, I finally got the opportunity to take my 1971 Chevy Camaro to my first ever car show this past weekend. I had been to a couple local classic car shows in the past, but only as a viewer. This was the perfect show to serve as my first because it took place in the parking lot of the Warrenton Home Depot I worked at during summer breaks back in college. Additionally, I was able to go with my grandfather & his ’36 Ford and my brother & his ’76 Chevy C10 truck. Ironically, all three of our cars are orange!
I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Everyone there was extremely nice and down to earth. It’s like everybody has some sort of special connection with just because we all have classic cars. I was able to hear stories of restoration projects gone wrong and well, and got some good advice from a guy who had just finished restoring another early 70′s Camaro a few weeks ago. Needless to say, I can’t wait for the next car show!
Have a look at some of the photos I took at the show, and feel free to leave a comment in the new facebook-integrated comments field at the bottom of the post. Thanks for visiting!
A look inside my ’71 Camaro. Just installed that new woodgrain/chrome steering wheel this past week (I know it’s not factory-correct for an early 2nd gen Camaro, but I like the way this ones feels and looks better lol).

An awesome ’69 Camaro.
My brother’s ’76 Chevy C10.
100% crop of the photo above this one, revealing my reflection!
My dad stopped by to check out some classic cars too. He had his eye on a white 60′s corvette convertible that was there… and I wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually finds a way to get one someday! (I hope so)

Beautiful pictures of all the antiques! Looks like you-all had fun!
Thanks! It was SO much fun! I’ll be going to many more in the future for sure
Joe Carney, my former manager at the Prince William County Service Authority, asked me to photograph his surprise proposal on top of Bull Run Mountain at a place called High Point in The Plains, Virginia. It’s a short drive from where I used to live in Haymarket, and was always a fun mountain to hike. So, needless to say, I said yes!
My wife and I hiked up to the top first and pretended to be innocent bystanders until he dropped down on one knee and popped the question. That’s when I started snapping away, and the rest is history.

Back again with another set of photos from a recent engagement photo session! Kayla & Michael were excellent to work with, and the shoot proved to be very fruitful.
Now, I’ve known Kayla since the 3rd grade back in my Thurgood Marshall Elementary School days in Manassas, Virginia. We attended the same elementary, middle, and high school. So it was quite a privilege to have been chosen by her and Michael to photograph them for their engagement photos. This session was actually built into the All-Inclusive “No Hassle” Package they purchased from me this past summer. So, needless to say, I’m excited to photograph their wedding next June!
As always, please feel free to leave me some comments/feedback at the bottom of this post. I always appreciate you visiting my photoblog, and hope to have you return soon. Thanks for reading!

This was my first engagement shoot… heck, my first shoot in general… in about two months! My leisurely summer break from the photo biz has now come to an end, so expect to see regular postings once again!
Kate and Andy were a terrific couple to kick things off with. I really enjoyed photographing them, and I can hardly wait till I photograph their wedding in late September! Have a look through these photos if you’d like, and please let me know what you think in the comments field at the bottom of this post! Your comments are always very much appreciated.
