Oxfords & Oysters 2011

This past Friday was the second-annual Oxfords and Oysters event hosted by Sky Blue Events. The fundraiser was hosted at the newly opened Four Seasons in Baltimore. It was a real pleasure to be a part of such an awesome event with a really good cause. The O&O works to support the Oyster Recovery Project whose alliance of participating restaurants throughout the mid-Atlantic collect discarded shells from raw bars and dinner plates. The shells then become homes for tiny oyster spats, aka fledgling oysters.

Sandy + Dal’s Traditional Korean Wedding Washington DC

Sandy and Dal were married on a beautiful summer afternoon this past June.  The couple is crazy adorable and were so easy to photograph.  With Dal’s hearty sense of humor and Sandy’s gentle grace, we were able to capture a number of beautiful moments.  It was a real treat to see and photograph my first traditional Korean wedding ceremony and I really loved the vibrant colors and interesting details.  If you are interested you can see the engagement session I took of Sandy and Dal this past Spring in Annapolis it’s featured over on Bayside Brides!

National 9/11 Flag visits Washington, DC

Back in July I was fortunate to be asked to photograph the National 9/11 Flag as it made a stop in DC during it’s tour across the country.  The flag was destroyed in World Trade Center attacks and stitched back together along with flags from other tragedies including a small piece of the flag that was laid on Lincoln when he was shot at Ford’s Theatre .  It’s a truly impressive piece to see in person and I was honored to be able to sew a few stitches in honor of my friends who lost their lives on that awful day.  To learn more about the flag visit http://national911flag.org/

Stacy - Hi,

Love the photos! Where is the venue? It’s not listed on the blog credits. It’s gorgeous. Is the horse rental located here in the DMV? If so, hat’s the name of the company?

Thanks!
