Summer Vacation

Just got back from a great summer road trip with Malissia & our dog Luna. We drove a big loop from Hoboken through North Carolina, stopping in Chapel Hill, and Waynesville in the Appalachians. On the return leg we went back up through Virginia taking country roads and checking out Charlottesville before wrapping up with a 4th of July cookout at our friends the Thomas' in the DC beltway town Oakton, VA.

I did a lot of shooting in the mountains and at the road stops.

Semi-refreshed, or extremely road-weary I returned home to Hoboken New Jersey appreciating all we have going on here.

Engagement Party in VA

On Sat. April 24th I was in Alexandria, VA to shoot a couple's engagement party event photos and portraits. Thomas and Momo are planning a wedding in Okinawa, Japan this October and the event was to celebrate their engagement and get the friends and family all together. Tom's sister is Vicki, a good friend of mine and I'd met Tom and his bride to be at Vicki's wedding 2 years ago in Jamaica. They loved the photos I did there, so asked me to come out for this party and do an engagement photo for them. Best wishes to the couple!
