one moment – with the ring
If you have looked through my gallery, then you have noticed mini-theme of grooms and their rings. It is always a joy to see grooms on their wedding day grow accustomed to their newest piece of jewelry. The bride has obviously grown accustomed Continue reading
one moment – before the processional
Sandra was overcome with emotion, just moments before the processional with her father.
one moment – with Sandra and Mike
OK. Maybe two moments. Sandra and Mike elected to see each other before their wedding and being avid cyclists, they wanted to incorporate that into their first glance. Mike elected to ride his bycicle from Charlottesville to Ash Lawn on the day of the wedding and Sandra was waiting when he rode up the long Ash Lawn entrance.
one moment – preparing for a family photograph
Veritas Vineyard and Winery was the site of our most recent wedding with Lauren and Zach. As I browsed through the images, I came across this photograph of Lauren helping this gentleman prepare for a photograph with the two of them. His expression drew me in and then I noticed Continue reading

one moment – George and his expecting parents
My friends, Wendy and Bryan, asked if I would come over and photograph them just days before Wendy’s due date. We had a wonderful afternoon with temperatures in the 70s! I decided to take a portrait of their dog, George, with his expecting parents in the background. George has requested a 16×20 framed print above his dog house.

I’m not one to review gear on my website too often – however that might change in the near future as we are starting to cycle in some new equipment over the next few months and many people ask us about what we shoot with and why we choose certain cameras and/or lenses. I am going to start with something I don’t use on wedding sessions, but I absolutely love from a personal standpoint. The Fuji-X100 is a compact camera that has a fixed 35mm (full frame equivalent) f/2 lens. It’s not a zoom and it doesn’t Continue reading
