Esther & Matt Wedding

November 14, 2008 – 2:01 am

Last Month I shot a wedding at a beautiful and private residence in Dayton, MD. Esther and Matt found us online while searching for wedding photographers in Maryland. After the initial contact, Abi met with Matt (groom) to go over their wedding photography details.

The day was beautiful with nice weather, great location, and their wedding was flled with fabulous guest. Below are few of my favorite images from the wedding.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets of light pink roses and the bride carried lush, textured yellow/ivory roses with freesias on the sides

Matt wore a beautiful and matching ivory flower on his lapel joined with a silk necktie.

Esther + Matt after signing the “ketubah” and before they exchange there nuptials.

There was a wooden walk bridge between the altar and the guest.

Esther and Matt married in an outdoor ceremony under a traditional chuppah made with dried corn plant.

After breaking the glass under the chuppah the couple was escorted to a private room and left alone.

The wedding was lavished with a four-tiered pink cake decorated with thick brown ribbon. Fresh pink orchids beautify the cake. Pink lanterns, pink-brown center arrangements and flowers filled the reception tent.

Couple’s first dance.

One of my “major” favorites. The little boy lodged between his father (left) and Matt.

I had so much fun at the wedding.

From the first time my wife and I met Laura and Roger, we could see the great chemistry between them. I had so much fun shooting their wedding plus they had the most exciting guests. View their engagement session HERE

The wedding ceremony was at The United Methodist Church in Catonsville, MD and the Admiral Fells Inn was the perfect setting for their October wedding .

Thanks to Melanie, the wedding day planner, who made sure everything went smoothly. And the fabulous DJ that kept the reception rocking.

Below are a few of my favorite images from the wedding.

Jessica and Joseph Wedding

October 29, 2008 – 12:03 pm

Aby and I met Jessica and Joseph few months ago and we spent most of the time discussing about soccer . We had so much in common and from that day Abi and I felt as part of their new family.
The wedding took place at the Wayside Inn in Ellicott City, MD. The venue provided warmth and comfort for the 20+ guests as it overlooked a beautiful pond.

Joseph awaits his bride.

I had to run to the groom’s suite to capture this shot. The ceremony took place at the Inn’s porch with about 20 guests.

Beautiful details of the bouquet.

The bouquet was replaced with a soccer ball.

None of the guests attempted to catch the bouquet.

The wedding cake was provided by the Inn .

One of my favorites of the day.

Wedding at the Omni

October 25, 2008 – 10:56 pm

Last weekend I assisted Chris of LCA Videomakers to shoot an elegant wedding at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in DC. Chris is one of a kind photographer and will recommend him anyday. Chris if you are reading this; thanks for the opportunity once again.

The day started with heavy rain and the ceremony was moved indoor which created a comfortable atmosphere for the guests. Below are few of my favorite detail images from the wedding.

The bouquet.

Captured this program menu to show the essence of the heavy rainy day.

And finally the cake!!!

Tashana and Glascow Wedding

October 10, 2008 – 6:02 pm

September 27, 2008 was chosen by Tashana and Glascow to be one of the happiest day in their life. The couple created a beautiful romantic atmosphere for their guests and the day went smoothly as they had imagined.

The couple married at the University of Maryland College Park Memorial Chapel which serve as an intimate and spiritual focal point for the wedding. And It was officiated using African (Nigerian) traditions where the couple participated in a tasting ceremony. After the service we shoot around College Park campus before heading to the reception.

The reception was held at Greenbelt Marriott and the couple, and their guests feasted and danced in the hotel’s beautiful and decorated ballroom which was coordinated by Marriott’s one and only Nana Sapong.

Tashana and Glasgow, thanks again for allowing us to be part of your special day.

Special thanks to my second shooter Hennesseyof Hennessey Green Photography who made the photo coverage smooth. Check him out at http://www.hennesseyg.com

I love the shot of the shoe below. “Pweety” and elegant.

Tina + Innocent

September 30, 2008 – 2:43 pm

Two weeks ago, I shot Tina and Innocent’s wedding. The wedding ceremony was at Jesus House DC and the reception was at the Camelot in Upper Marlboro, MD. The wedding was so beautiful and filled with a lot of happiness, joy and laughter. They created some of the most amazing details for their wedding - everything from the floral to the ice sculpture, table settings, and center pieces were incredible. They truly created something great for their friends and family to enjoy and remember.

I need to take a minute to thank Banke of D’posh Events for her AWESOME dedication and hard work for this event. Banke and her amazing crew worked tirelessly to ensure the day was perfect and it truly was.

Thanks again to Tiana and Innocent for entrusting me to capture the most memorable day of their lives.
