Jen and Chris tie the knot at the Gramercy Mansion in Baltimore County, MD!

June 27, 2010

I am so excited to share Jen and Chris’s wedding photos with everyone, because this couple is really the absolute best! And I have to say, Jen and her mother are two of my biggest cheerleaders, which is so flattering! Its clients like Jen that make me remember how wonderful my job is, and it really makes photographing all day long not even feel like work at all!

Lets get on with the details though…Jen and Chris tied the knot at the end of last month at the charming Gramercy Mansion in Baltimore County, MD.The wedding was gorgeous from start to finish, and I really loved that I was able to be a part of such a great day…especially when I got to hang out with all the girls during the getting ready part of the day! Jen is really the sweetest girl, and it was so cool seeing how giddy she was to be marrying Chris. Chris is the super cool and collected type, but if you were there to hear the words they both spoke during the ceremony, you would know that behind the suave exterior is a man who was truly excited to be marrying Jen as well. They had a beautiful reception with a beautiful first dance, and well…I will stop rambling now and let you see just how great this wedding was!!

Congratulations Jen and Chris!

A mini engagement session with Rita and Imi in Washington, DC!

June 22, 2010

Rita and Imi have a wedding fast approaching which is sure to be amazing. It’s going to be a two day Pakistani-American extravaganza with both traditional Packistani and Western rituals. One thing its sure to be is colorful and that makes me oh-so-happy. But in order to pull off such an envent they have had to do a lot of planning, and to go over my role in the festivities the three of us met up to discuss all the details. But the best part for me was when we got to close our meeting with an inpromptu mini-engagement session, and what makes it even better, is that we grabbed the shots right at (and IN) the Dupont Circle Fountain which just happens to be where Imi proposed to Rita!!

Check out the splashing fun!

Awwwwww…. (Part 1)

I told Imi to be serious here, so he is….. so serious he didn’t even notice Rita’s look of surprise when water from the fountain splashed her!

Awww……(Part 2)

This is my favorite- they look so happy!!!

The End!

Chantal: Yes, I seriously love the splashing. I'm all about having fun clients who don't mind being silly. Your favorite shot is also mine.. so epic!

adam@shutterspeedster.com: Wow. That looks like such a fun couple. I bet the wedding will be too fun!

Danielle Daigle: How fun!! I love how they hopped in the fountain. Great pics!!

Alan Hutchison: Love that old style processing / framing!

Lara Eichhorn: I love the one where he's lifting her in the fountain and the second one down where they're holding hands. So sweet.

Kim Mendoza: What a fun couple! Splashing away in the fountains...great mini-session!

brooke: these are fabulous! you really rocked the bright sun, too. they look like lots of fun - enjoy the wedding :)

Rhys: PERFECT moment when she gets splashed! It's the kind of thing you don't notice immediately, but it completely changes the picture. Love it!

Alicia Kennison: Your favourite shot is my favourite too. Pure joy.

Kate and Matt get Married at Celebrations at the Bay in Pasedena, MD!

June 20, 2010

Last month on a gorgeous Saturday I photographed Kate and Matt’s beautiful Bayside Wedding in Pasedena, MD at Celebrations at the Bay, with Gino of Foto by Gino! Kate and Matt were one of those couples that you just KNOW are meant to be together. Regardless of the fact that the wedding was probably 150 guests or more…the whole day was such a sweet intimate affair where you saw the love in every direction, between Kate and Matt, between them and their families and between them and their friends. To top it off the got married on the bay at the beautiful Celebrations on the Bay. A venue you wouldn’t even know existed, as its hidden off a windy residential road. Everything was beautiful, from Kate’s dress(s), the flowers, the ceremony and all the decor. Kate and Matt, thanks for letting me be part of your day. And check out Gino’s website for even more photos of this fabulous wedding.

Joseph Yarrow: Wow, when you said it was intimate, I can really see what you meant! Wonderful picture Erin, and I love your processing! You've done an amazing job!

Albert Palmer: Beautiful! I particularly like the silhouette of the bride in the door way and the bride and groom walking towards you on the pier/walkway. Lovely work, keep it up!

Thomas Lester: These are fantastic. Love the depth of field. Some really great moments captured. You told their story well.

Eric Yerke: Your detail shots are amazing. I'm taking notes here.

Brad Ross Photography: Amazing photography. You really captured something special here and the clients will treasure them forever.
