incorporating the chifles into these shots was the key – my ecuadorian bride was very concerned with the plantain chips and since they were *perfect* i wanted a shot that she would treasure forever!

hannah + andy: engagement photos.

i had so much fun with hannah + andy…we ran around the adorable little town of easton, md trying to squeeze in an engagement session the day before their wedding! between last minute planning and the rehearsal dinner we only had an hour, but we made the most of it and took advantage of the oddly warm february weather and got some really fun shots around town…enjoy!

the young & the guestlist.

last thursday night washington life magazine threw its signature bash – the young & the guestlist – proving once again that there are indeed young hotties moving and shaking all over the district…festivities began at the st. regis and moved on the the halcyon house and later, josephine lounge. still buried in the aftermath of my awesome trip to sundance, i only stopped by to capture the arrivals of dc’s finest as they posed against the washington life backdrop…i just love happy, beautiful, photogenic people!
