Best Washington, DC wedding photographer | Loews Madison | Marian & Mark

c&iphoto — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 02:47:56 +0000

Marian and Mark’s wedding was held downtown at the beautiful Holy Trinity Catholic Church. I love the feeling old churches have, the large stone walls and beautiful murals are really something to marvel after. After the ceremony we moved on to the Loews Madison hotel in DC. The dimly lit atmosphere mixed with the slick dance moves, made for an amazing time. There was so much love and laughs surrounding them as they said their vows and celebrated! Congrats Marian & Mark!

Dumbarton Oaks Engagement session | Ashley & Nick | Washington, DC

c&iphoto — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 13:06:47 +0000

Dumbarton Oaks is an insanely beautiful garden in DC. It’s a photographers dream. But, you can’t just shoot in there willy-nilly (is that still a thing people say?). So when Ashley & Nick said that they got us all squared away to shoot their engagement photos at Dumbarton, I was so pumped! It’s hard to take a bad shot in that place, especially when your couple is as sweet & genuine as these two. I had the best day with you Ashley & Nick! Can’t wait for your wedding!

Washington DC Cherry Blossom Engagement | Yan & Michael | Best Washington DC Photographer

c&iphoto — Tue, 21 Apr 2015 15:18:30 +0000

Every year everyone goes a little crazy for cherry blossom season in Washington, DC. This year especially because of the long winter and abundance of rain/snow. Every tree was abloom with beautiful cherry blossoms and flowers, it was like something out of a fairytale. Yan and Michael will be getting married in China next year and wanted engagement images from the states to have at their wedding. Justin will be doing a round two engagement session with them in New York in a month or so, can’t wait to see what he comes up with. I’m so happy I had the chance to bring these two out and take some awesome photo’s.

Madison | Senior Portraits

c&iphoto — Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:05:38 +0000

I had a ton of fun shooting Madison’s Senior pictures. Mid Session, Madison’s Horse (Blue), decided he didn’t want to give anymore rides and flung Madison off his back, rodeo style. As she laid there starring at the blue sky with the wind knocked out of her, she mustered up the words…. Did you get any pictures? Lol. I literally thought she was dead. She powered through the rest of the session like nothing happened and we got some really awesome shots.

Seasons are changing here in Maryland, and Becca & Dan’s engagement session had that perfect early October feel. From playing catch in the park, to exploring beautiful Pierce Mill’s at Rock Creek park‘s landscape at golden hour, these two reminded us why Fall is the best.

Courtney & Tony Married | Eden Resort Landcaster, PA Photographer

c&iphoto — Sun, 03 Aug 2014 22:16:10 +0000

Tony and Courtney are genuinely sweet. They aren’t afraid to act like goofballs either. We knew we were in for a solidly fun wedding day when Courtney and her bridesmaids were jumping on the bed in full wedding garb. We were right. Their venue, The Eden Resort offered an outdoor town-front vibe, with all the joys of climate control (yeah! A/C!) It made for a classically cool day that we were so happy to document! Congratulations to Courtney & Tony!

Nicole & Richard Engaged | Turf Valley Photographer

c&iphoto — Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:02:02 +0000

When Planning Nicole and Richard’s engagement shoot, her one request was to mimic her Mom and dads photo from when they got married at Turf Valley many years ago. And so we did…and we could have probably wrapped it up after that one shot – it’s so epic. But from there we went to old Ellicott city to finish up the session. I can’t wait for your wedding guys, It’s going to be awesome!

Corinne & Sean | 8.24.13 | Serra Valley Farms | Wedding photographer

c&iphoto — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:27:53 +0000

I first met Corinne & Sean way back when at Bridgette & Cory’s Wedding in 2011. We have been fortunate to work with many amazing people through recommendations, and Corinne and Sean are exactly those type of people. We love the vintage country vibe, so when they told me they were having their reception at Serra Valley Farms, I couldn’t wait. It has a modern vintage look and feel to it, makes for an amazing backdrop. During their engagement session Corinne really wanted to have some shots with her horse Kona, so it was only fitting to have horses be a part of their wedding. When they arrived at the reception site, Corinne & Sean went on a carriage ride around the property before being dropped off to join everyone for the reception. It was like being a part of a movie. Congratulations Corinne & Sean!

Kaylin + Brandon | Married |5.18.13 | Ripken Stadium, Aberdeen Maryland Photographer

c&iphoto — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 02:04:45 +0000

Kaylin and Brandon wedding was a long time coming for us. We first met way back in august of 2011. When we met up for their engagement session they were just coming back from a kayak trip. In fact, you put Kaylin & Brandon in a kayak give Brandon a fishing pole and they are right at home. It’s no wonder they had all sorts of nature-themed decorations and greens and blues at the wedding. They even gave out little baby trees as wedding favors- northern trees for their northern guests and vise versa for the south. Their wedding was held at the Ripken Baseball stadium in Aberdeen, Maryland. It was a little dreary the morning of the wedding but the rain luckily held off and the ceremony was held out on the field as planned. It was very cool to have the whole stadium to ourselves!

Nicole + Steven | Married | 4.26.13 | Pasadena Maryland Photographer

c&iphoto — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:16:00 +0000

Nicole and I met all the way back around our high school days. We (Nicole, Ian, and I) attended the same church for a while. So it was of course exciting when I got the call to meet about her and Steven’s Big day. We usually become friends with all of our brides and grooms throughout the whole wedding process anyway, so its always a bonus and makes the whole experience extra fun when we already know each other. Nicole & Steven were married at the Anchor Inn, which is in Pasadena, Maryland. The quaint little venue sits on the water overlooking little docks and lots of boats. Very pretty for a spring time wedding in MD. Congrats you guys!

Jennifer + Buddy | Engaged | Ellicott City, Maryland Photographer

c&iphoto — Sun, 26 May 2013 18:37:40 +0000

I met these two at Liz & Andy’s wedding last summer (Liz is Buddy’s older sister). Danielle and I actually got to enjoy Sunday dinner with their whole family a few weeks ago; Buddy and Liz’s mom was so nice to invite us over before we did the engagement shoot. It was great getting to know the whole family! After dinner, Jennifer and Buddy pulled on their cowboy boots and led us behind the house down a trail into a beautiful, rustic, country-esque park. I felt like we were in western Maryland or something for a moment; I kept forgetting we were in Elkridge, only 20 minutes away from where I live. The place was picture perfect and of course Buddy and Jennifer were right at home practically in their own backyard

Taylor + Brandon | Engaged | Thurmont Maryland photographer

c&iphoto — Wed, 22 May 2013 03:02:34 +0000

I first met Taylor when I photographed Liz & Andy’s wedding last summer. Her family actually owns the Mathwig Estate Event Barn, which is quickly becoming the most popular off the grid wedding venue in Maryland. We were excited to be a part of their first wedding show there a couple months ago; Taylor did a great job hosting it of course! And then I made the long drive back to Thurmont (where the Barn is located) for Taylor and Brandon’s engagement session…which has become one of my favorite shoots recently. Everything was so inspiring – the location, the perfect lighting, and of course Taylor and Brandon My wife ended up texting me asking where I was since I had been there for so long lol oops! Anyways…here’s what we were doing for so long….

Shelley + Chuck | Engaged | Baltimore Maryland Photographer

c&iphoto — Mon, 13 May 2013 16:13:06 +0000

I always tell my couples that their engagement session should really paint a picture of who they are and the location is a really big part of creating that. Shelley & Chuck met once upon a time at a little place called the Baja Beach club in Baltimore City, Maryland. So what better a place to shoot their engagement session? Even though the club went out of business a couple years ago, we found no shortage of great spots in and around Power Plant Live. But I made sure Chuck gave her a spin right in front of that building where they met

Feis & Jason | Married | 3.17.13 | Coral Gables, FL | Photographer

c&iphoto — Tue, 07 May 2013 20:35:17 +0000

True love is hard to find, but when you do, it lights up the room. Say hello to Feis & Jason. I first met this charming couple last year for their engagement session, which by the way was at 5:30am on the beach. The wind was blowing and my mind was just starting to boot up. Everything was perfect- the weather, the clouds, the sunrise…so picturesque. As we went through their session we talked about the first time the two of them met; it blew my mind. Here’s about how it went: Jason meets stunning girl (Feis) who only speaks Spanish. Jason doesn’t really speak Spanish. They go on their first date, can’t talk to each other, but have the best time. Jason spends the next year learning and becoming fluent in Spanish. All for the woman that would soon be his wife. If that’s not commitment, I don’t know what is. Then came time for their wedding. Everything was so chic and elegant topped off with the ultimate party of their lives. The connection you see between them is truly magical. Congratulations guys!

Nicole + Josh | Married | 3.30.13 | Doylestown Pennsylvania wedding photographer

c&iphoto — Mon, 06 May 2013 02:16:33 +0000

We met Nicole and Josh through our friends Corrine & Ryan, who were our last wedding couple of 2012… And, Nicole and Josh were our first Maryland wedding of 2013 It was great getting to know them a little at Corrine and Ryan’s wedding before we even had our engagement session together. Their wedding was held at the Aldie Mansion in the quaint town of Doyestown Pennsylvania, where Nicoles family is from. I loved the overall feel of their wedding . Very relaxed and chill within the gorgeous backdrop of the ancient stone mansion with rich woodwork and an overall rustic atmosphere. One of the reasons they actually decided to have the wedding in Pennsylvania was so that Nicole’s grandmother could attend. It was an incredible moment to see her face light up when she saw Nicole in her wedding dress for the first time.
