DAVID & KACIE (GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON D.C.)

About a month ago I photographed my first official wedding of the year. The ceremony took place at the beautiful Dahlgren chapel at Georgetown University (the day after Georgetown was eliminated in the NCAA tournament by the way…I was a little scared for my life) and the reception at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Northern Virginia. Here's the thing, this wedding was flawless. The weather was beautiful, the wedding party was hilarious, the couple so kind, and locations just gorgeous. Just wait until you see the golden light at the end of the post. Let me tell you, if winter cooperated this well all the time I would love it a lot more! Enjoy.

 
 






 









And now for one of my favorite first dances ever...

 

TWIN REFLEX (VINEGAR HILL CREATIVE, PENNSYLVANIA)

This week I've been shooting away on the set of Twin Reflex, a film by the wonderful storytellers at Vinegar Hill. I've talked about them lots of times on my blog. (Like the time I tagged along on their NYC shoot in 2010) My brother Michael is the Director of Photography at the company and I'm sort of connected to everybody in the business some way or another. I've photographed 3 of the 5 member's weddings!

Anyways, this week has been amazing. I've always wanted to take on longer photo assignments than 6 or 7 hour weddings and this has definitely been that! It's pretty darn cold here in Pennsylvania. It's been snowing for the past two days and right now it's about 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside. But it's the best watching my brother in his element. And the entire cast and crew are excellent. I love seeing artists flourish in their field. It's not easy for anyone to find a job these days but I feel like it's especially hard for an artist to make a living doing their art. So, needless to say this week has been exciting and encouraging.

A lot of the script is top secret but the writer/director David Altrogge said I could post a few to my blog! So, do enjoy and make sure you watch the Twin Reflex trailer below.

This man's name is Bingo O'Malley and he recently appeared in the movie Super 8! I sorta geeked out because I love that movie to death. It was a pleasure having him on set.
