A little teaser from San Diego…

I’m a very busy bee trying to wrap up everything before I split for a weekend away (YAY!) but I wanted to share a cool new website with you- Vintage Knot! The creator of Vintage Knot is one of my favorite wedding planners, Terri Carter. She is the lovely owner of Benchmark Events, and in […]

I didn’t have a lot of time to make entries into the WPJA Q4 contest because I was gearing up for Burma, but I’m glad I entered! An image from the lovely wedding of Lucy & Matt received 12th place in the “First Dance” category. Hooray! Congrats to everyone who placed. I am REALLY looking […]

I love this event! For the third year in a row, I photographed Dodging Diabetes, a charity dodgeball tournament in Bethesda. Anna Tiedeman, Elizabeth Kramer and a team of volunteers from the D.C. area founded the Dodging Diabetes charity in 2005 to raise money and awareness to defeat diabetes for good.

Mandalay is the second largest city in Burma, with a population of about 950,000. It was the last royal capital (1860–1885) of an independent Burmese Kingdom before annexation by the British, in 1885, and is capital of the current Mandalay Division. The city is bounded by the Ayeyarwady River.

Here’s how our days go: wake up between 5 and 5:30am. Breakfast at 6am. Shoot from 6:30am to 11:30. Lunch. Then back out to shoot until past sunset. Dinner. Downloading and editing until past midnight. This makes for long days, but they are pretty amazing days! Rangoon (also known as Yangon) is the largest city […]
