Good things come to those who wait... Well waiting for the film from this wedding was especially hard, but it was worth it. Full blog coming very soon. Stay tuned! (This might sound strange from a guy, but you have to love those Kate Spade shoes Ashley is wearing)
The Secret Garden
Every day after elementary school, I rushed to the woods surrounding my home to build or protect one of my many forts. As the years went on, my twin brother and I attempted to hide our own forts from each other. In middle school, my best friends and I built a "Fort Knox" of forts that would become our secret meeting ground. In high school, I explored endless acres of tall grassland, that I would later call "The Field". I can't explain the wonder and freedom I felt in these places. But I can say I felt that thrill of discovery and adventure again when I recently read The Secret Garden. The book not only conjured my most vibrant and vivid memories from childhood, but also spoke to the present. Yeah... It might be a children's book, but we all might benefit once in awhile by seeing the world as a child does. Besides, there's a reason it's a classic.“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
Destination Engagement Sessions
Looking through my portfolio, you might guess that many of my engagement sessions are shot outside of Florida. Truth be told, my background in nature photography has led me to some of the most scenic and beautiful locations in Florida and some you might call uncharacteristically "Florida". Sometimes though, nothing can replace Autumn in New England, the soul of NYC, or simply the place where your groom proposed. For those instances, there is honestly nothing I love doing more than a Destination Engagement Session. In order, you'll see - Washington D.C. for the Spring Cherry Blossoms, outside Philadelphia in Autumn, New York City (Central Park), Autumn in Boston, Blue Ridge, Georgia, and finally Chicago. I hope there are many more destinations to come!
Ashley + Rob :: DC Engagement Shoot
This is my third attempt at trying to verbalize how amazing Ashley and Rob are, and how much I loved everything about the shoot and being in DC. This time around, I decided I'm just going to let the images speak for themselves. I would just like to thank Ashley and Rob for being amazing clients and for treating me to the best Sushi I've ever had at SEI. The only thing better than this engagement shoot will be their amazing wedding this summer at the Bluemont Vineyard in Virginia, I can't wait!
