Emily & Jon at the Baltimore Museum of Industry

By Leave a Comment

I first met Emily and Jon last Fall when I took pictures for their Engagement Session at Federal Hill in Baltimore, MD. I saw them again in August to shoot their wedding at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. The ceremony was held outside on the pier overlooking the harbor and reception followed inside at the museum. The museum had to be one of the most unique and interesting places to shoot a wedding — it had all kinds of fun setups, to include an old-style movie theater, a steamboat and a whole ton of old neon signs! Check out some of the photos from the great day below.

I had the great pleasure of photographing Erin and Justin exchange their vows this past June at the Calvery United Methodist Church in Annapolis, Maryland. After the ceremony we got some great pictures throughout the city of Annapolis, including several shots by the harbor. Following the pictures, Erin and Justin had their reception at the Loews Hotel.

Emily & Jon Engagement Shoot

By Leave a Comment

Emily first contacted me in July about photographing her wedding to Jon in the Summer of 2014 and then I had the opportunity to meet up with both of them for an engagement photo session.  For their engagement session, Emily & Jon picked Federal Hill, which overlooks the Baltimore Inner Harbor in Maryland.  I had a wonderful time getting to know them, their story and the plans for their wedding next summer.

2013 Miss DC Pageant

By Leave a Comment

Shooting for NCR Pix, I got some photographs of the 2013 Miss DC Pageant. Ms. Bindhu Pamarthi was crowned Miss District of Columbia. After a nearly 3 1/2 hour contest between 19 contestants, a panel of six judges determined Ms. Pamarthi was the best suited to represent the District of Columbia in the Miss America Pageant scheduled to be held later this year. Contestants were judged on a personal interview between the judges and each contestant (off-stage), an on-stage series of questions, performance of a talent, portrayal of evening wear and finally, portrayal of swimsuit wear. Contestants are expected to display a sense of confidence and presence on stage in order to get top marks from the judges, who this year included several well known figures such as Michael Steele, former Republic National Committee (RNC) Chairman and Lieutenant Governor of Maryland. In addition to the crowning of Miss DC, Ms. Logan White was crowned Miss District of Columbia’s Outstanding Teen for 2013.
