Back in Action...Slideshow

Here is a quick slideshow from another wedding I shot at the Sheraton of Columbia, MD. It was another fabulous day. This time the happy couple took advantage of the beautiful weather and had their ceremony on the outdoor patio of the Sheraton that overlooks the lake.

Enjoy the Show.

Wedding Posts

So it has been almost 2 weeks since my last post. Let me tell you it hasn't been for lack of content to post about, but I've just been so busy with work and life that posting has been the last thing on my mind.

But now I'm refreshed after my break and ready to put up some rocking images. The only problem is that the ftp program my server uses will not let me log on. I put a call into my web hosting company and they are on it. So check back this week for a bunch of posts.

But in the mean time check out the post by Dave of David Toth Photography on his blog. This past weekend we worked our first wedding together and it was incredible. I'm learning so much from Dave and am really excited for the events we have coming up this fall. Dave made a quick slideshow with a few highlights from the Cheryl and Dave's Wedding Day and a few of my pics made the show. Later this weeks I'll post a few more of the images that I took.

Dave was also my wedding photographer of choice. You can see why here.

You stay classy San Diego.

Matthew and Darlena

Here are a few pics from a wedding I did back in June with Zack of David Cearfoss Photography. It was a Christmas in June themed wedding that was done very well. We met the couple at The John S. McDaniel House Bed and Breakfast as the bride was just finishing getting ready and waiting for the rest of the wedding party to arrive.

It definitely ain't easy being the bride.

The McDaniel house was fantastic. We took a few shots of the wedding party and then headed to the Easton Church for the Brethren for the ceremony.


I would normally post a few pics from the ceremony, but I would rather post these pictures from this old church/cemetery right down the road from where Matt grew up. Isn't this place incredible!!! Below you can see Zack working hard to get that killer shot.It was a great day and I wish the happy couple all the best.

Salt Lake City

So I'm back out in Utah for work, but this time I flew in a day early to check out some of the sites in Salt Lake City. Obviously Temple Square is one of the biggest sights in Salt Lake City.

They have a pretty massive statue immortalizing Brigham Young, Adam Smith's successor as Leader of the LDS (Mormon) Church.The LDS church has a pretty impressive spread around Temple Square. Here is the waterfall at the front of the Convention Center.Inside the square there are a ton of really cool buildings. In this picture you can see the Temple, which is closed to visitors.The following pictures are of the Assembly Hall in Temple Square.
The stone and mortar on the Assembly Hall was pretty cool. In most brick buildings they smooth the mortar down, but here they went the extra mile and exposed it.Brigham Young is a pretty popular guy. He also has a park named in his honor.This is the Head Quarters of the LDS Church. I love the long, tall lines running up the entire building.As I was leaving the Square I saw this awesome old house.Here is a view of the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island from I-80. Yes, the white stuff is salt.As you drive west from Salt Lake you travel through a number of mountain ranges and valleys.
The mountains are definitely more exciting than the valleys.I really love the wide open spaces and views out west.

Belgium

We finally made it to one of the restaurants in Washington DC that I've been wanting to go to ever since Renee started to plan her Pentagon Detail. Its a little Belgium Gastropub specializing in delicious Belgian food and BEER called Granville Moore's. Unfortunately when we arrived there was a 45 minute wait for seating, but they gave us a buy one get one free drink coupon to a little bar down the street.

The Red and The Black was a great place to kill time. They had some great beer (bottle only) and played reruns of the original American Gladiators (not this new crap). Once our table was ready they called my cell phone and we ran over to our patio table. Here Renee is sampling one of the many fine Belgian Beers. Belgian style beers are best known for their lack of any consistent style but all having an incredible drinkability despite the fact that many of the beers approach 10% ABV.
The service was pretty quick and the food was AMAZING. Belgian food is pretty simple, it consists mainly of mussels and french fries (they call them frites).Renee's mussels were cooked in Bacon, Blue Cheese, Shallots, Spinach, White Wine, and Lemon Juice. I had the steak et fromage sandwich...
After dinner we relaxed with another beer and Renee snapped this pretty crazy picture with my face all blurred out like what happens to you after you watch the video in the movie the Ring. On our way back to the Metro (subway) we stopped at Union Station for a quick photo shoot.

The Dark Knight

I could talk forever about this movie, but to really do it justice I'm just gonna leave you with a quote. These are the first words that came out of my mouth as Renee and I walked out of the theatre.

"That could possibly be the greatest movie I have ever seen."

pause for dramatic effect

Go see it.

I had an awesome time in Michigan and can't wait to get back out there. Until then enjoy the show.
