…when magic happens at 90% inspiration and 10% perspiration, and not the other way around :). Just got back from Maryland this morning and escaped a Wizard of Oz-like storm (craziness!). Can’t wait to share what we captured this weekend :). Happy Monday ya’ll! Ben & Karis
This was the wedding that caught us entirely by surprise. I remember looking (and feeling) haggard after a weekend of non-stop shooting, and waiting for the Megabus in Baltimore to take me back home to NY. I was sweaty, tired and overwhelmed with duffle bags filled with my gear. But when you meet old friends…
I met Pearl and Hiram about a year ago when we were photographing their friends Valaya and Johnny. I remember her being one of those bridesmaids who had one of the most serious case of the giggles I’d ever seen. Fast forward a year later to the present day, not much has changed :). Pearl…
When we last met Korey and Eric for their engagement session, they promised us a wedding day we would never forget. It’s a line we’ve heard many times before, but it was the first time we actually believed it. For starters, we knew their wedding was going to take place on the tail-end of one…
May is one of a 100+ cousins that I have…on my dad’s side! (And don’t even get me started on my mom’s side!) She also happens to be the older sister of another cousin whom we’ve had the pleasure of photographing last year. When we first met Lee, we thought he was a pretty swell…
As I’d mentioned in a previous post, Patrice and Josh’s wedding day started off without a hitch. While Patrice was getting her hair and make-up done, Josh and his groomsmen were still in recovery mode from a festive rehearsal dinner just the night before. Understandably, that morning would be a serene affair, albeit a light-hearted…
As we had mentioned before, we just love Korey and Eric to bits and pieces. They are two of the most genuine, friendly and awesome people you’ll ever meet. Case in point, Eric reveals to us during our first meeting that he loved photography and proceeds to whip out not one, but TWO rangefinders he…
…racing through the woods in an antique convertible with the love of your life. I remember looking at the weather forecast on my screen and seeing a row of storm clouds with flashing thunderbolts throughout the week and into the weekend. We would’ve hit the jackpot had this been some weather-channel-themed slot machine. But as…
If there’s one word we could use to describe this couple, it’s “hilarious” – a fact we’d already established when we did their engagement session a few months ago. While it was a more serene affair in Patrice’s bridal suite when we arrived that morning, Josh and the fellas were already doing cartwheels in their…
We arrived early that morning at the Gaylord National Resort where all the girls were getting ready. Wait, a resort in the heart of Washington DC’s National Harbor? Yes, and it’s a very beautiful one at that! Imagine a gazillion floors of balconies facing an indoor atrium with the morning sun shining in, minus the…
