Eli, these are wonderful!
When I grow up, I want to bend light like you do. Great work, as always.
Dude…you’re good. A beautiful wedding artfully captured.
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 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!

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.

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!
Stacy

“L’amore est eternal.” Astrid and Maher are true college sweethearts. They met on campus during their first year at Georgetown University and knew they were meant to be. After graduate and law school they decided to tie the knot where there love first took bloom. The Dahlgren Chapel on the university’s campus is a breathtaking sacred space that has amazing natural light through its stain glass windows. French, a common thread between the two was spoken throughout the ceremony.

Eli, this is gorgeous!! I love the black & whites
Love the photos – so many details that we didn’t have a chance to see because of how fast the time flew – yet the camera captured perfectly! Great job!
Sarah and Elliott chose an absolutely perfect weekend for their wedding. Having a multi-day event can get complicated but from Friday’s rehearsal dinner, all day Saturday and though to the Sunday morning brunch all the moving parts and pieces fell into place flawlessly. The couple fell in love half-way around the world ten years ago and share a continued love for travel. Sarah and Elliott’s international and classically elegant style really came through in all the details and the Hay Adams provided the perfect backdrop to a beautiful day.
