Sneak Peek: Mitch and Karen's Wedding

i've known mitch and karen for a few years now, and i've done several performances and shows with their kids over the years as well. based on that, it was not only a privilege to be a guest at their wedding, but i was also privileged with being able to shoot their big day! here's a preview!

the ceremony was really simple and elegant. a lot of music, which makes perfect sense with the merging to two very musical families. if i'm not mistaken, mitch actually wrote some (or all?) of the music himself. the reception was also very classy and elegant and it was definitely a great party!

i'd like to congratulate karen and mitch on their marriage and i wish them both a wonderful life together!

Oh Shenandoah...

i long to see you... or so the song goes. sometimes it's nice to just go out and shoot some photos just for yourself. no assignments, no incentives. just pure enjoyment. this past saturday i had the pleasure of attending a wedding out in luray, virginia where i stumbled upon some of the most beautiful scenery i have seen in a really long time. or at least since i've been able to use a camera to capture it the way the world deserves to be seen. it reminded me of how much i miss going camping, and the time i went to nova scotia for a family reunion. i may enjoy city life today, but i can assure you i will eventually be hanging my hat in the country!

these photos were taken in the shenandoah valley in virginia. beautiful, highly-recommended place to shoot some landscapes! and also not that far from dc, took my friend and i an hour and a half to get there. park admission is only 3$ and you can always find a neat place to eat or an art gallery in luray while you're there!

Just an Update

finally got a facebook fanpage... and anyone who reads this should probably become a fan...

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sbimagery/249241315088517

it's not really up-and-running as much as i want it to yet, but i need a much bigger fan-base before i can really start doing anything anyways. so tell your friends to become fans also :-)

in other news, i am very excited to be shooting the wedding of two friends on mine this saturday. Karen and Mitch have known each other for a very long time and are tying the knot this saturday at the open gate church in waldorf, md. i've worked with Mitch several times as a music director and accompanist for some of the shows i've done and met Karen through being around the family. i can assure you that the ceremony will be beautiful and that the reception will be a complete blast, and i cannot wait to share the photos here.
