Marcus & Boupha - Wedding

In August we did Boupha and Marcus' engagement session and had a blast in Old Towne. This time around was even better, a perfect fall day for a wedding in Culpeper County, Va. The setting was on the Inskeep ("ins-kip") family farm and surrounding properties which have been in their family for generations. With the late afternoon sun shining and the cool breeze blowing the ceremony was held in the middle of a field under a huge and historic oak tree. We stayed in that same area for some of the portraits and even got cool hay bails in some of the shots.

Boupha was absolutely gorgeous in that stunning dress yet daring enough to walk around fields and an old farm for pictures - Boupha you're the best!

The reception was in the Bull Run Hunt Club, which in its former days was a school house where Marcus' father attended as a child. We were also introduced to traditional Laotian dance from Boupha's side of the family. The dance was a calm and elegant dance involving intricate hand movements that even inspired some first timers to give it a shot.

The reception was lively with some serious dancing, partying and superb cake!

Congrats you two, we are so happy for you!!!

Miss Fiona





At 2 years old, Fiona is a delightful little girl who enjoys, drawing, singing, and cooking (yes, cooking!). Aside from being an absolute doll, she has tons of personality and I found myself wondering what this remarkable child will be like as she grows. It was my pleasure to try and capture her just being her magical-little-self. I hope you enjoy this slideshow as much as I enjoyed meeting Fiona and her family....

Lawrence & Tammy - 10/4/08

Kristiaan and I had the pleasure of photographing Lawrence and Tammy on Oct 4 at the beautiful Lansdowne Resort in Lansdowne, Va. The weather couldn't have cooperated any better and the days events followed suit! We were deeply touched by the strong bond of family and friends who were not only so kind to us but were so true and dear to Lawrence and Tammy. This is really what makes a wedding day so perfect.

Lawrence and Tammy - a big congrats once again from us to you!
