i also realized that i haven’t really blogged a few images I shot while working with some other photographers in 2011. Here are some of my favorites.

i took this one working with Erin Lassahn at an incredible delaware wedding.

Couple embracing under a bridge in Washington DC, illuminated by natural light, with a green setting and graffiti in the background.

annnnd these few i took while working with Sarah Der at a wedding in richmond virginia. yes, all those expressions from one wedding :-0

A bride with red hair and a tattoo and a groom in a suit stand side by side in a sunlit forest with beams of light filtering through the trees, captured elegantly by Washington DC Photographer, Sam Hurd.

and finally… i wanted to share this portrait I made of a chef that opened a new restaurant called Torintino’s in the heart of DC. i’m sure you’ll hear/see more about this restaurant soon. after i made the portrait he made me one of the best dinners i’ve ever had.
