I recently had a refreshing photo adventure with Rush and Jessica in the Eastern Market neighborhood of Washington, DC. We explored some of the great row-house architecture, the open air farmer’s market, and even had some fun with a Capital Bikeshare bicycle. I’m looking forward to photographing Rush and Jessica’s wedding in August at the Hotel Monaco here in DC. Here are a few images from our shoot:

Gene and Holly had a wonderful Spring wedding at the Ceresville Mansion in Frederick, Maryland. It was a brilliant day with deep blue, cloudless skies and the sweet fragrance of flowering trees drifted on the breeze.  Thanks so much to Gene and Holly for inviting us to be a part of their celebration.  Here are a collection of images from their story:

We are proud to announce that Drew and His And Her Photography have been selected for membership in the prestigious International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers (ISPWP).

According to the ISPWP website:

“The International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers is a rarity among wedding photography organizations. Photographers cannot simply buy an ISPWP membership, they have to earn it.

“Our requirements are experience, talent, and professionalism. To be accepted, a photographer must have shot at least 50 weddings, submit their portfolio for review, agree to operate under the ISPWP Code of Conduct, and have an ISPWP Sponsor or four references. And THEN they have to be voted in by current members.

“In short, when you hire an ISPWP Photographer, you are hiring a talented veteran with a track record, peer recognition, and a passion for creating heirloom images of your wedding.”

Janelle and Bryan had a beautiful wedding celebration over Labor Day weekend at The W Hotel in downtown Washington, DC – just around the corner from the White House and Lafayette Square. Earlier in the Spring, I had the pleasure of getting to know Janelle and Bryan during an engagement photo shoot at the Tidal Basin near the National Mall in Washington. Here’s an image from our engagement shoot:

On Janelle and Bryan’s wedding day, I was assisted by second photographer – Alexis Glenn – and a special thanks to Alexis for her excellent work! We began photographing early in the day. We met Janelle and Bryan at the W hotel and documented them getting ready with family and friends. Janelle and her bridesmaids had a suite at the hotel where the talented and convivial Renny Vasquez provided makeup artistry.

The wedding ceremony and reception were both at the W Hotel and here are a collection of images from their story:

I met Allegra in 2009 when I photographed her sister Marissa’s wedding at OMSI in Portland, OR. I’m honored to have been fortunate enough to photograph both Allegra and Marissa’s weddings – as their family and friends are a great group of folks. Kevin and Allegra had their wedding at the gorgeous Willamette Valley Vineyards, just south of Salem, OR.

It was a wonderful Fall day with rolling hills of ripening grapes as our backdrop. I was also extremely fortunate to be assisted by Katharine Kimball (2nd Photographer). We began photographing early in the afternoon, documenting Allegra and her bridesmaids getting ready and having their makeup done. After an outdoor ceremony, the celebration and dancing carried on well into the night. It was an amazing wedding to photograph (and the pinot noir was delicious!!!). Here are a few images from their story:

I had the great pleasure of getting to know Kendra and Jed in Washington, DC. We did an afternoon (engagement) photoshoot at their family home in NW DC. It was a great way to establish a connection between us and for Kendra and Jed to become more comfortable with my photography style. In New York, I photographed their rehearsal party at the River Club of New York on E 52nd on Friday evening. It was an intimate gathering under the auspice of a late summer harvest moon. Here is a photo of the moon rise over the East River:

I photographed with Kendra and Jed for the whole day on Saturday, their wedding day. They rented a suite at the Marriott Hotel on E 49th and Lexington and prepared for the wedding in a relaxed and convivial setting with their close friends and family. We hopped in a cab and crossed the river to The Foundry for the ceremony and reception. In all, it was a really beautiful wedding celebration and I’m so grateful to have been invited to document it with a photojournalistic flavor. Here are a few images from their story:

Julia and Chris had an international celebration on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The Combsberry Inn is a gorgeous 18th century estate and it was an ideal location for a summer wedding. Here are a few images from their story:
