WASHINGTON DC WEDDING: JANICE & JEFF

'













Janice and Jeff were married at the Newseum, just blocks from the US Capitol in Washington DC. The ceremony was on the top floor balcony overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue and it was a gorgeous day. We took our photos all around the museum and in some of the cool areas inside before the museum opened.

A unique touch was having a magician to entertain guests during lunch. Josh Norris mystified the children and the adults with all sorts of tricks, and even had a special surprise just for the bride and groom.

PORTRAIT: ERIN WESTON

Ladies and gentlemen, the lovely and talented Erin Weston. You can find her on iTunes, Myspace and Spotify, as well as on stage all over DC with her band Left on Vermont. Many times great photos are made without a plan or complicated equipment. All were done with natural light, except the first, made with one speedlight. She also took some of me looking cool (and some looking foolish) and posted to her blog.

SWITCHFOOT AT LIVING SOCIAL - 918 F STREET

Living Social's 918 F Street storefront location hosted an intimate show with Switchfoot. Only 200 tickets were sold, so everyone was able to get up close and personal. Of course, the show was awesome with Jon Foreman climbing down off the stage to drop into the basement bar the next floor down. After photographing this show I ran down to the 930 Club to hang out with Sara Watkins after her set and to hear Dawes play through theirs. As an extra bonus to my already amazing night, toward the end of the show Jon and Drew from Switchfoot came to 930 to see Sara too and Sean Watkins (her brother and another Nickel Creek musician) took a few minutes to talk with me. All of my favorite San Diego musicians in one room!

GREAT FALLS ENGAGEMENT: MAUREEN & ROB

I know I've been busy when weeks go by between blog post. But I'm catching up and glad to post up some favorites of Maureen & Rob from a beautiful day out at Great Falls. We got to hike around and take some fun photos along the way.
